At 7am, a Derby Director assessed the surrounding areas, agreed with the assessment and began making plans to postpone the game. Derby say they had staff based at the stadium overnight, to prevent any pipes from bursting, and to clear the main car park areas. But they had a number of phone calls from stewards on Sunday morning, saying they couldn't get to the stadium because of the snow. At 7:20am, Derby told the police Gold Match Commander they wanted to postpone the game, and a conference call was held with senior officers at the fire and ambulance service. Derby say all the emergency services were in agreement that the game should be called off. The decision was then ratified by the Safety Advisory Group. Derby say Cardiff were informed of the decision around 8am, and the police announced the postponement at 8.15am before both clubs made statements to their supporters at 8.30am. --- End of debate.

DerbyPride Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43464818 The English Football League says it will look into the postponement of Derby County's Championship match against Cardiff City on Sunday. Hosts Derby said the weather left the areas surrounding their Pride Park stadium in an "unsafe condition". Cardiff manager Neil Warnock called the situation a "disgrace"and suggested the Rams, who have several players out injured, welcomed the postponement. Derby made the decision to postpone the game, according to Derbyshire Police. In a statement on Sunday, the EFL said the move was taken "following discussions between Derby County, Derbyshire Police and the local Safety Advisory Group (SAG)". On Monday, an EFL spokesman added: "We are aware of the comments that have been made throughout the course of today in regard to yesterday's postponement between Derby County and Cardiff City. "Having asked both clubs for their observations on the matter on Sunday, the EFL will not be making any further comment until the full responses are received." Following the EFL's latest statement, Cardiff City chief executive Ken Choo said: "We look forward to the EFL's response and will update our supporters in due course. "I share their frustrations and am in dialogue with the EFL to determine exactly why the game was postponed and how that decision was reached."

Why are the blasted efl now seemingly turning turtle having not raised anything yesterday? Absolutely disgraceful - they should have reprinted their comment from yesterday and charged Colin. Now this just gives him a platform to carry on with his wild accusations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewe Ram Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 They can’t operate with less than 300 stewards and they couldn’t get 300 to the stadium. Safety regs. (According to Radio) (Sorry, I know I said I’d done with this subject). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
