So for those who haven't been in Qld Footy for the last 15 years like myself, it all started way back when we had "drought like" conditions in and around Brisbane and water restrictions. So to play on a wet day meant ground got churned and as sometimes it then didn't rain for months, they were left bare, dry and too hard to play on. It seems this mantra has continued since then despite changed conditions. Being in the industry, there are also the insurance concerns and I know you will all say WTF has insurance got to do with it, well unfortunately nowadays, some people who fall over in the wet or slide into a fence will get a number off the TV and think, hey there is a buck in it for me... And so starts the slippery slope risk vs return... Anyways, just some background, not backing or bagging the decision, but I did love to play in the wet!!!
