The BOM only forecasts for Elizabeth, Nuri and Roseworthy so you are limited to those three forecasts.
Nuri is usually a few degrees lower than the other two so I can see why people went to Elizabeth. There was one game a few years ago where we were the only association that played as it was 40 almost everywhere else in the state bar Nuriootpa and it was certainly not less than 40 degrees at the Dog Track that day...
What do people think about changing the designated temperature from the TV news to the BOM website? They update their next day forecast at around 4pm each day and that is what is used by the TV news. Everyone has the internet these days and it saves waiting for the news....
The smart ones do look at the 4pm forecast mate.
Yeah I think that the BOM would be a logical step, but perhaps taking the Saturday morning update would be better. I think ATCA go by the 9 or 10am update on the BOM
