The Bluebirds will travel to Pride Park on Tuesday, 24th April for a 7.45pm kick-off.
Further information regarding ticketing will follow in due course.

This is good news, well done Neil.
Anything else is a bonus.
EFL rules state the earliest available date. The fact that this isn't is probably a gesture by the EFL to placate us after the decission to postpone our game in questionable circumstances,Quote:

Alternatively, imagine they beat us which stops us getting the points needed for promotion and prevents another club getting a play off place. Either outcome could happen.Quote:

Excellent news playing our game in hand with only another two games left to play after it. We will know exactly what we have to do to get promoted. In the meantime, Fulham and Villa will be in perpetual panic assuming they have to make up 10 points, which means they will have to attack in every game, and it will leave them exposed at the back. Our lot will have to play harder too, cos they can't bank on the 3 points from a Derby win.
Me neither, but I made the rearranged Brentford after being unable to make the original. Oh well.Quote:

Come to think of it we got promoted against Derby at home when we drew 1-1 👍Quote:

Cheers 👍
They'll try to call it off claiming half of their fans can't get to the ground incase they get hayfever from the freshly cut grass on the pitch.
Oh hark at captain sarcastic :hehe:Quote:

Wrapped up by then hopefully , however they might be safe In the play offs by the 24th , the other thing to note though , our game is bang in the middle of a tough pair of games for Derby, with Boro home before us followed by Villa away , and on the 11th they would have played Wolves , the only easy game in April for them is Burton , not a nice April for them either.Quote:
