forgive me for using facts and data here - but we're not even having that particularly wet a season (or year)

here's our rainfall expressed as a percentage of the mean for 5 months to May 2022

Newcastle is having only a slightly wetter than average year - less than 25% wetter than your average year

admittedly, rainfall totals might not tell the full story - but no matter which way you look at it, we're not going through anything wildly out of the ordinary here

if we can only play in drier than average years then maybe we need to reconsider our grounds, or use screw in boots for once (remember them?)
