The snow has stopped in Sheffield - same as Rotherham - heavy for about 30 minutes then just a few flakes.
Roads clear. Snow melting. Skies still threatening more.

Re: ROTHERHAM UTD P - P CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
At least there is actually snow on the pitch this time

Could they have delayed kick off for an hour. To see if it cleared as quick as it came.

Not sure either manager wanted game played.

Exactly. It’s not fair on the fans who’ve travelled up.

Re: ROTHERHAM UTD P - P CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I’m going to sound such an old fogey, but when I think back to some of the pitches that matches used to go ahead on in my youth, why on earth is today’s game off if those pictures represent the worst of the conditions?

After reading your book and recalling the conditions teams played in, there was no reason on earth why game couldn't go ahead. Dont think either manager unhappy about postponement.

Don’t they have undersoil heating then? That is a fairly new ground so they must have surely? And that isn’t much snow, even in later pictures.
The normal (Derby) excuse is that it is unsafe for fans except there aren’t any.
Seems very odd so close to KO.

Agreed. Poor show all round.

Re: ROTHERHAM UTD P - P CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
What a load of bollocks. Their stadium is less than 10 years old and they've got no undersoil heating? Plus, it looks no more than a dusting. At least no fans traveled.

Re: ROTHERHAM UTD P - P CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I'm watching the Jacks. They just went 1-0. I didn't fancy Palace v Sheffield Utd.

Re: ROTHERHAM UTD P - P CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Rotherham have had a covid outbreak and didn't want to play midweek. The cynic in me might suggest they didn't want the game on :sherlock:

It hasn't really cleared and there have been a few more snow flurries, but it is still just a heavy dusting (not much more than an inch).
The roads around us are clear, the pavements are covered in snow but are not frozen, and snow settled on cars is slowly melting off.
It will get cold very quickly in less than an hour though, so maybe a 50:50 call for player safety.
