It seems the rumours about the City council commencing enforcement action on or prior to Easter weekend were nothing more than that (unless they have had some undercover agents out collecting data) so it was down to the weather to make life difficult in these times of uncertainty.
With nearly 30 touts between Scudamores and independent punt operators, unfortunately it seems that everyone is determined to squeeze every last penny out of the situation before the impending changes. However the British weather was conspiring against those engaged in outdoor activities and whilst the forecast snow didn’t materialise the cold was enough to keep most people away.
