nottingram Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Does the fact that it was totally clear all around the ground suggest Derby did everything they could to make it safe, but it was elsewhere, where the club has no control, that was the issue?

It makes it harder for us and harder for you. Nothing worse than games getting crammed together. I just feel for the Cardiff fans that travelled. Such a late call, which could have been made yesterday. Pitch is fine, stands are fine, surrounding area's fine but apparently some fan couldn't make it from Orkney.....Game Off. To be fair we couldn’t get from Sheffield and my brother couldn’t get from Northampton. But the priority in the decision is the safety of people and surely if 3000 Cardiff fans are coming a decision should be made before they set off. If it was me I would understand the decision but be pissed off it took so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 If I thought we had managed to call it off for nefarious reasons i'd be as mad as the cardiff fans.......you have to play on,whatever your injury 'woes' or excuses. BUT....we didnt.......the road conditions,at the time the postponement was called,were dreadful and were expected to get worse. I wouldn't have attempted the journey,put it that way and I had booked a day off work to watch it. If the match had been at 245pm it would have gone ahead as the conditions had unexpectedly improved..... The only ones to blame here are sky and the sky!

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.

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. you are another one who talks far to much sense for this forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live within 3 miles of the stadium and the surrounding roads are fine. Well that’s alright then. I live 10 miles away and wouldn’t have got out to a main road. No buses, no gritter until 13:00 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was checking the weather radar regularly yesterday, from around 5:00 pm through until I went to bed. There seemed to be hardly any snow showers coming through south of Loughborough. Regarding the BBC's weather forecast indicating heavy snow this afternoon, the current radar picture doesn't indicate that will happen at all.
