Welcome Snip.
If you grow your tomatoes on an allotment it seems the risk is higher than if you grow in your garden. When our allotment site had only about a third of the plots taken we had little problem with blight but now it is a really big issue. The three damp and windy summers haven't helped!
It seems to me that when lots of tomatoes or potatoes are growing fairly closely then it creates a sort of blight corridor. Not sure whether that is scientific just an observation.
