I think if you want people to understand your situation, in which most are, I think you should try have some understanding for ours as well?

YOU believe that, not all of us hold the same viewpoint, so don't push your viewpoints on to me. Just because Neil Warnock had an incredibly stupid rant doesn't change things, the surrounding areas are clearly not fine, are they? Derbyshire police advising people not to travel unless necessary doesn't imply it's fine. Cardiff and their fans have been a disgrace online, accusing all kind of things of Derby. Joke club.

My mate came up from London for the match, so a ton thrown away on train tickets there and we are currently sat in the dolphin having travelled in without any difficulty from Hathersage. We had to come in as said mate will be on the train from Derby. Not chuffed to be fair, whatever the reason. But in our experience today, it wasn't related to the weather. People were in the Neptune pub from 6am. I don’t think it’s all about the football sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am surprised that people really think that such a decision was taken because the squad has injuries. I always thought Colin, as much as I don't like him, was quite an intelligent man too, and even he's fallen for it. I refuse to believe Derby would be so stupid to risk what would probably be quite a severe punishment for effectively throwing a game. Clowns to the left, jokers to the right.. it's quite funny watching everyone's knickers getting in a twist. Not just Cardiff, but Forest fans too. I'm quite surprised by the reaction. Not only has it been snowing through the night, but it was also forecast to have heavy snow in Derby throughout the game and for a few hours following Then there's conditions like this around Derbyshire And there were a fair few road closures as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazloW Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Blimey - some right tin foil hat merchants on here (and some others who just oddly find gratification in finding negatives about the club - really odd). Trying to compare and contrast every sporting event in the country and wondering how they did/didn't manage to get their games on is an irrelevance. I would have thought that the biggest determining factors in today's match were the distance Cardiff fans were coming and not wanting them to get too far before calling the game off (3.5 hours notice isn't bad); the limited amount of time before the kick-off to let things thaw, the state of the roads in areas approaching Derby (I know many can't believe that some people outside Derby might want to go to the match), the state of the Pride Park area itself and the forecast (which seems to change every five minutes). Really easy for everybody sitting at home to make the decision to keep the match on (particularly those who don't live in the county or even the country) but I would imagine for those whose decision it actually was, it wouldn't have been easy. I don't suppose they all had up to the minute weather or road reports from every postcode where fans might be coming from or were on the phone checking with Wigan to see if they were OK. I imagine they don't make such decisions on the basis that my mate Dave found it easy to get here from Lapland, so it must be OK then. I would imagine that they were faced with some reports coming in that parts of Derbyshire were very dodgy, that the police were suggesting people don't travel, that - it being a Sunday - there might be fewer people out and about clearing the roads 'naturally' and they really didn't want a situation where keeping the match on might have led to people travelling quite a long way and having unforeseen difficulties. This is just guesswork on my part as I wasn't there, but rather than jump to conclusions about the club being underhand, or the decision being a disgrace or a shambles, I prefer to think that perhaps - just perhaps - some people had to make a very difficult decision and aired on the side of caution. God forbid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is today's game any different to any games that got called off yesterday? Have you carried out a full inspection of the ground and surrounding areas? Have you been taking calls from our stewards who may have been struggling to get to the ground? If not, I'm not really sure how you are qualified to reach you're conclusion.

I have already emailed both the CAA and East Midlands Airport this morning some tactical advice with new snow plough formations to try out, to have the runway shut for 5 hours this morning due to the weather is unacceptable. A 3-4-3 formation would allow the ploughs to cover the centre line of the runway effectively clearly snow from the most used areas of the runway whilst providing some width. I would like the ploughs to put their foot down, keep the tempo up and attack the runway on the front foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we didn't think the snow would be as heavy as it was. Perhaps we thought the roads would be more clear, who knows. If we called it off and the snow hadn't settled then Warnock would be even more angry. Just not sure why Cardiff fans are accusing Derby of being unsportsmanlike and breaking the rules, without any evidence or any clue really.

Ramleicester Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Makes derby look like a small club who cant cope. Not exactly premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralRam Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 From what I can see here in lovely Tennessee is that the ground and surrounding area looks absolutely fine. We can't just go calling off games because fans can't arrive from a few rural villages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally 100% agree and add to that the one person that you do not want to be p1ssing off when you need every point you can get is Neil Warnock. I was confident we would get 3 points today, but not now, whenever they re arrrange this game they will be even more fired up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
