FFS are the under 23s playing this week?
Re: Cardiff vs Derby off.
Wonder if the shop will take this stupid Christmas jumper back and give me a refund
Re: Cardiff vs Derby off.
FFS.
They have conveniently sited “medical staff being wiped out” as the reason.
I hope my night out isn’t called off too.

Re: Cardiff vs Derby off.
The statement does say that there are Covid cases in Cardiff as well.

Anyone who buys a Christmas jumper don’t deserve a refund 😂
Re: Cardiff vs Derby off.
At least the match wasn't called off an hour or so before KO like at NP one winter v Derby when the pitch was unplayable. 4 hours of driving for nothing apart from lunch in Cardiff.

Wasn't that the occasion when Ridsdale had to admit that while we had undersoil heating installed it wasn't actually attached to the necessary boiler as we didn't have enough cash to pay for it?

I think you are referring to the CCS. Might be wrong. The late call for the Derby match was about 14 years ago, maybe. One for the statos.

There was a Cardiff - Leicester game called off at the last moment in December 2009. Ridsdale admitted the undersoil heating wasn't operational. It was after a mid morning pitch inspection (not sure if an early kick off). I do know I had driven from Sheffield and turned around at Monmouth. Not happy.

Yup Leicester.
Wasn't it Boxing Day?
It was around Christmas I know that.
Re: Cardiff vs Derby off.
pretty sure we had a game called off against Millwall in the 80's around January time at the last minute . we then headed off to watch the newport county v everton game. pretty sure it was the millwall game anyone confirm ?

I think that it might have been earlier than this (in the late 1970s maybe?) but I remember the club's first ever Sunday game was postponed when we were on our way to NP in the car. And we only lived in Lakeside!

December 19th 2009 the Leicester match at the CCS was called off. The under pitch heating system hadn't been connected to the boiler....apparently.
The match v Derby that was called off at around 1.15pm (for a 3pm KO) was definately at NP as I recall queueing at the TO there to get a refund. Can't find any reference to that match though.
Re: Cardiff vs Derby off.
The list of EFL cancellations for this weekend is growing: 5 in the Championship, 5 in League 1, 3 in League 2.
Expect more before Saturday.
Re: Cardiff vs Derby off.
Wasn’t the game in 2009 when Eddie Johnson scored at both ends a rearranged match? I suppose it could have been because one of the teams were still in the FA Cup, rather than it being called off because of the weather mind.

That OG may have cost us a play off spot that season.
Bit harsh I know but the collapse after that was ridiculous.
Re: Cardiff vs Derby off.
I went to Scarborough early 90s only for it to get called off due to snow 🤦*♂️
Re: Cardiff vs Derby off.
When Rooney stated that it’d most probably be off, I cleaned Tesco out of milk and bread, thought he’d had a weather warning.
