I was talking to a friend today about the essex champs day 2 and 3 that r coming up, and he told me that he has been told that the long throws (Javelin,Discus,hammer) may be called off because the in-field has be turned over ready to lay a new football pitch. Has anyone esle been told this or knows what is going on.

I've heard that, I went to Chelmsford to day and had a look, the infield is ploughed up and the turf is there ready to be lay'd. ( If you want FREE TURF go to Chelmsford, its in the car park ).
Nice new turf to sink a heavy hammer into ;D

I was at Haringey today and spoke to one of the Essex Officials (who will be the head field official) and he said that the throwing events will go on even if the middle isn't turfed on time.

At the moment it is a ploughed field, you can't even walk on it.
They have to level it and then put down a sand base, then the turf goes down. they can't do that if its raining.
As for using the infield when it is not finished, It might be a insurance issue, Melbourne Sports centre might not let them use it, if any accidents happen on the field they might get sued.
eg, a offical falling over on a unfinished pitch and getting hit wih a spear or hammer.
I will know if things are going ahead by wednesday.

ok this should have been explained earlier...
Chelmsford AC have sold out to Chelmsford FC. There is going to be a 14,000 seater stadium built there and the middle is being re-layed ready for the next football season

Chelmsford have not sold out, they do not own the track + Uk athletics agree that tracks should have a dual role, becouse they are under used.
They dont have permission to put up a stadium yet, but it looks like they will go ahead anyway.
