The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Does anyone know what it's like at the moment? I'm on the South coast (which is warm and dry at the moment) and will be leaving shortly, but want to know if I need to wrap up warm?!

You'll certainly need the waterproofs - plenty of rain in North Devon over the past 36 hours - a lot of it heavy. Their ground drains well, as it's half way up a hill, so I don't think the match will be in doubt.

Those of us who suffered in the rain here last season are beginning to think it's always like this in N Devon, but the locals assure me that it had been dry for the previous 6 weeks or so. ;) ;)

Cheers. I know the forecast had been bad, but they were expecting rain down here today yet it's been hot and sunny for most of the day with not a sniff of rain.

I've just retreated to a dry hotel room, and saw the weather map on the BBC - it looks like most of Devon is OK - it's just the North that is suffering. It was similar yesterday, but we did get a dry spell during the evening, so hopefully it won't be too bad at Kick-off.

Posting from my phone in hotel at cullompton, weather dry here. Going to stop on the way for something to eat midway between here and ilfracombe. See u at the ground.
