A 2:30pm onwards KO time and you have a chance it goes ahead. Like to say Sky will learn from it but they won't. Yeah Sky should have anticipated unprecidented amounts of snow in mid March really.

We knew the snow was coming......where did it suddenly go wrong? Why don’t you blame sky??? 3pm kick off Saturday the game is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have gone ahead Now it might look embarrassing, but they had to make the decision a while ago. Things change rapidly (although they might have anticipated that too to be fair). This could be a classic ‘in hindsight’ situation, where we can all look back and say it could’ve and should’ve gone ahead. However, I’m sure the decision was made in good faith at the time...!? I ask again though, from those in the know, was it the club or ref who called it off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North East Ram Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 If Cardiff had travelled by their usual mode of transport (a tandem and skateboard) then they wouldnt have so many fans needing to turn around. Where's this 1000+ extra tandems turned up from? Im joking, bluebirds. We'd be the same if we were second. Hopefully your club will lay on free / cheap travel for the rearranged game. Your match tickets will still be valid. If you're promoted by then, you might go easy on us and settle for just the draw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazloW Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Sooo, the conspiracy theories begin and we are taking our ITK info from Colin and Cardiff fans. Hmm. Here’s a thought. Why don’t we take the decision at face value, recognise that it was probably very finely balanced and that some poor sod had to make a judgement call based on what was in front of them at the time. I can’t believe that the game could be called off without good reason... again, hindsight might turn out to be a great thing. Edit: Just to add, this must be a dream for those ‘fans’ who seem to take inordinate pleasure in anything which might paint the club in a poor light. So happy to jump on the negative bandwagon and slate the club. Unreal really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffLuff Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 It might be ok around the ground, but it isn’t great across the county where a lot of fans are coming from. It’s alright for Warnock to say the Fulham game was on but I would say that shouldn’t have been played. Also it’s not just people getting to the ground, it’s getting home too which wouldn’t be great with snow not stopping and ice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew the snow was coming......where did it suddenly go wrong? Derbyshire has some of the highest points above sea level in the UK. Derby sits in a bowl surrounded by Derbyshire . If snow falls it is worse and freezes quicker than Derby city . Even if there are 2 or 3 inches of unexpected snow in Derbyshire it freezes and can be dangerous to travel . previous games where persistent snow WAS expected -Forest at home, Norwich at home where we had a much worse injury list under Nigel Clough and Fulham this season have been managed well. Blame the metrological people for this one not Derby County . .. Thanks for the picture Greg Halford , they do say its better to face your fears and the last time he played here he enjoyed a nice 5-0 thumping with his red dog pals and had a face like a slapped arse so can understand his desperation to try and exercise those demons .

Pearl Ram Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Warnock reckons there is no sign of our management at the ground, poor show if that is indeed the case. He’s not happy and I find it difficult to disagree with some of the points he made. I hope we don’t get into bother with the league over this. The club shop haven’t helped by posting “We are open and hope to see you”. Shot ourselves in the foot with that I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North East Ram Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 It has to be remembered that Warnock has the diplomacy of Billy Davies. The day I start looking to Colin for an opinion or explanation about anything is the day I give up. He'll be accusing Mel and Gal of trying to bribe the weather next.
