“This is unique,” says PC chairman Ids Hellinga. “There are two things that play a role: the field is in good shape, but it cannot support fifteen games. In addition, there will be a rain area over Franeker, between 9 a.m. and 12 noon. There will be very heavy showers, with a chance of thunderstorms. Then shouldn’t we bring an audience to Franeker.”
That’s why the rebounding only starts in the afternoon. “Only then you don’t have enough time to play all the games, so that’s why we also move to the football fields.”
Access to the fields on Hertog van Saxenlaan is free for the public. There is control at the Sjûkelân.
The driving tour through the city with last year’s winners is also cancelled.
According to reporter Geert van Tuinen, the PC organization has learned from 2010. “That was the most bizarre PC in recent history. Because 1969 was wet, 1985 too, but 2010 hit everything. I’ve seen scenes you can’t imagine. It had to and would continue, but with the knowledge of today, they had canceled the day.”
