Sakon F.C. vs Roi Et F.C. rained out


The game was stopped less than five minutes into the action due to imminent heavy rain.
Considering the all day rains, with a few short-lived breaks, and the condition of the field, this game should never have been started.



This wasn't football, this was water sport.


I had been checking the hourly forecasts at accuweather 
I strongly suspected this game was a no go early in the day.
Fact is, if you see any prolonged sunshine before Thursday, sound the alarm.
If you plan on watching the parade Sunday (starts 4 PM) bring rain gear.
Long before the game even started it was obvious that heavy rains were imminent.
I suspect the reason behind the attempted game was the distance Roi Et team and fans had traveled to get here. A three to four hour bus ride. 
The Roi Et team had arrived in Sakon Nakhon on Friday afternoon.


Game has been rescheduled for July 31
Admissions is free if you tell them you were at todays game
