have the grounds in Wellington be wet this season as I heard that the had been a few cancellations this season up there.
I imagine Feverish is at the shoe-shop trying to find 11 pairs of gumboots with sprigs in them, so I'll make a few comments:
Some of the differences between grounds in Chch and Wgtn are that Chch has many grounds on a sand-base (eg Cuthberts Green) which seem to drain better than the more clay-like soils in Wgtn. Wgtn also have many grounds on flat-surfaces at the base or in the middle of slopes, so the fields catch the run-off. Most Chch fields are on the flat with the nearest slope being the Port Hills, so Chch fields are less likely to have to deal with water running-off the slope. What Wgtn is starting to get in its favour is the emergence of artificial surfaces such as Te Whaea and Wakefield Park. Gets rid of the mud and the bobbles, but not the wind (and they can still be wet).
