Derby in a poor run of form and a few injuries, hmmm. Would you trust a tweet from Lazarus himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Don't blame them tbh. Derby managed to get a game on in worse conditions 2 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Controller Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 From our point of view, points on the board are better than a game in hand. It's quite possible we could pass Derby before this rearranged match has been played and that just puts more pressure on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll also have a midweek game where they are a bit tired against a team possibly in position to clinch auto promo. Of course they could schedule it to when Cardiff are already on the beach..

Loderingo Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 You have to say this stinks. You can be sure the rearranged game won''t be any time soon either. Derby will surely want to rearrange for the last 2 weeks of the season and hope Cardiff are already promoted by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loderingo Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Looking at the fixtures, due to Easter and the mid week round when we play Brum, the earliest this could be scheduled for is Tue 17th April. The other options are Tue 23rd April or Tue 30th (last week of the season). We'll see what they go for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Are we saying here that Derby are allowed to make this decision because that is what it sounds like. Surely its the ref? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely its the ref? Police advice. <- I've just driven past the ground. All very clear at the ground & vicinity, but the pathways / open ground anything greater than 100m from the ground is icy. If it was played behind closed doors, it's playable, but not for getting >20000 people there. I'd booked a restaurant near there for tonight & they have phoned me saying police have advised them not to open today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Horsman Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Warnock at it again!! Wenger gets hit with disrepute charges left right and centre but Dame Colin does it, he gets away with it. Everyone is a cheat except him and his team. It's all so unfair. Poor Cardiff, always the victims. Getting them promoted this season may yet be his greatest achievement in an eventful career, but he'll always be a horrible little man, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Down in here in snowy Devon my lad's birthday party was on at 11am and by 1145 the roads were downright dangerous and we had to call it off. Weather forecasts are sometimes accurate predictions. Regardless it pissed off our friend so what's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 To be fair the game was more likely called off due to the conditions for the fans. I went into Cardiff Town yesterday and saw so much black ice, even slipped a few times myself and my boots are very grippy. I think they called it off to avoid people falling over and to prevent road traffic accidents like the one that diverted our bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
