BADMINTON CANCELLED!

[cazboldy]

just seen that it's been cancelled.

Don't suppose they will reschedule with the olympics etc

:-(

guess it's better than running in godawful conditions though.

No Grand Slam for WFP then? Does he get to carry this year's wins over to next year?

? I don't know - surely he must...... it's consecutive, in any order isn't it? so if there isn't one, it should (hopefully) carry on over

I was just trying to get onto the Badminton site to see what was happening but I can't get in. I take it the rain has swamped the course?

Boo hiss

Is it? What a shame. We live v v v close by and I think it's the best call. The park is a swamp.

The Badminton website is down (probably due to excess traffic), but the Team GB website has an announcement saying the course is flooded :(

also on H&H website.

Thanks, had got onto the H&H website. I wasn't actually going to the trials, was just looking forward to watching them and am now unreasonably disappointed!

same here Poledra

And me :(

Oh what a shame - but better to be safe than sorry.

Such a shame. Love Badminton. Have five free days now and nothing planned

I'm gutted, had even won tickets this year. Trying to remind myself that it's the horses that matter not the spectators.

died, I'm gutted for you!

oh! thanks for the info. My daughter will be so upset. She was going with the school and was really excited. At least I no longer have to get her to school for 4.45am on Sunday!

so.... it has been confirmed that William Fox-Pitt will have to wait until Badminton 2013 for his chance at the grand slam

yes, that's good news- it also means that there could be two challangers for the title if another rider manages to win both Burghley this year and Kentuckey next year...which would be exciting!
