People can't get out of their houses, never mind streets. !
Fans are ringing and texting me, "if we have any spaces on the coaches, as trains might not be running"
CALL IT OFF NOW or GIVE PEOPLE THEIR TICKET MONEY BACK, AFTER THE EVENT, IF THEY CAN'T TRAVEL
ACT NOW
It's fine down here in London at the moment.
Yes... some clarification from our club would be welcome.
My 7 year old and i have tickets but i am 50/50 on whether i want to do the drive. If it's better tomorrow then i will probably go for it but if it's not then i dont think the club should argue about refunds.
If i don't end up going then i would be happy to swap for Derby tickets.
Unfortunately, ALL the ticket money goes to Brentford, so our club has no say in the matter. BUT morally it is wrong to take the money off fans who are unable to travel.
Plod all over the country are telling people to stay home unless journey is a necessity, a FOOTBALL MATCH, is not a necessity !!
They’ll surely have to refund people or come up with something.
The weather forecast I saw for today and overnight shows more snow coming into the south and right across London through to Wales? Has this forecast changed
I am travelling from Neath to Cardiff for a pick up and then onwards so will give it a go if the game on is on but early heads from Brentford would be good?
Not even listed for a pitch inspection according to the EFL

Brentford would no doubt understand the difficulties but their responsibility is to get their ground fit for football and take advice on the risks in the surrounding area unless there was no chance that our team was able to make the fixture. If someone suggested that last week's Bristol game was called off because areas around Bristol were flooded and impassable then I doubt there would be much interest from Cardiff City in doing so.
Not sure Brentford give a fcuk about travelling Cardiff fans, not their problem.
I am sure it was Bradford but in the early 80s someone brought a game forward from an midweek evening kick to an afternoon kickoff because the floodlights were broken - the only game i missed that season home, away, friendly and cup!!!
Also got to near Gillingham one year only for the game to be called off because of snow
So yes away fans are secondary
Most Moscow Torpedo fans couldn't even get to their home game against us, but it went ahead
Any spare tickets available from those not planning on going/unable to go?
Pitch inspection at 1pm. https://twitter.com/BrentfordFC/stat...46964965773314
We get it mate.
Miss R taught you a few things on a computer. You can just type posts normally though..
As for travel, people I know made it home from north Wales last night took about 8 hours.
I'd imagine the M4 would be better.
I'd imagine people could make it to a pick up point for a bus.
Agree with OP, completely unfair to the travelling fans.
In these exceptional cases, there should be some kind of central contingency fund where if people cannot get to the game due to an "act of god" they can get refunded, where the club, in this case Brentford, does not lose out either.
Out of interest Tony, I assume you have to pay full price for the coach if you don't travel?
pitch inspection 1pm today
