What was it BV said earlier about ponytails?

Sigh, who's sporting one now? Can't be Unai, he's got too much dignity.

Just don’t want any injuries. It’s pre season so if it gets called off that’s fine. I don’t think it will but the ref needs to go with a cautious approach to starting this.

What’s the reason, torrential rain?

Looking at the weather radar there's some very heavy rain in the Orlando area. Probably thunderstorms too, knowing Florida in summer.

Somebody commentating on the Brentford-BHA game mentioned a lightning storm over Orlando, earlier.

Might clear for a few minutes but it looks like there's another very heavy rain storm coming in 1.30am. Might be some time to KO.

1.15am is the latest I'm hearing from Orlando. Storm should have passed by 1am.

Now, now. They updated an hour ago to say there was inclement weather, like you’d be at risk jumping on a train!
