We play them again at the end of the month. That's pretty unusual isn't it, 2 league matches between the same teams in the same month (barring rearranged fixtures)?
we play Coventry again in the following game tooQuote:

Presumably the fixture placed two sides relatively close together..Quote:

Not convinced this game will be on. ‘Threat to life’ warnings.
Storm Darragh will hit Wales on Sat.Quote:

But those warnings are for the whole of Wales (plus parts of England and Scotland)
Check for updates tomorrow (and definitely on Sat morning!)
We may escape the worst.
Expecting the worst down here in Pembrokeshire. Battening down the hatches already.Quote:

Tom Cleverley on Omer Riza:
“Omer had a great patch with a team that were really struggling and looked destined for the bottom three, and he’s managed to turn that round,” said Cleverley.
“I think he’s still got a good record, and he is a coach I respect that I know from Watford.
“He’s actually a coach I played under, when I was returning from injury in two Under-21 games.
“I’ve coached his son too last year, so there are a few more connections than people probably know.
“He’s a thorough coach who isn’t afraid to have fresh ideas or be a little bit unorthodox.
“We’ll have to be ready to adapt on the day because he looks like he’s got a group who are playing for him.”
You will be fine . Croesy and the Colonel have gone .Quote:

90mph gusts forecast. There will be a lot of trees down, buildings damaged etc. Let's hope the stadium roof stays on. Anything over 30 mph and you can expect people to get blown over, too.Quote:

Worst over by 11am - 4 hours before kick off. I cannot see any reason for it being postponed..Quote:

I understand the grassroots matches being off, most in parkland and the pitches are probably a mess anyway.
Ours shouldn't be off, most of Cardiff isn't even in the red warning which is hours before kick off. If people don't want to travel then they can make their own minds up.
Are the warnings a fairly new system, like last 10, 15 years?
our game is off according to this

Contrary to media reports, our Sky Bet Championship fixture against Watford is scheduled to go ahead as planned tomorrow (3pm kick-off).Quote:

The Met Office has issued a Red weather warning for Wales between 3am and 11am on matchday. We urge supporters to stay safe and refrain from travelling to Cardiff City Stadium during this period.
The Cardiff City SuperStore will now open at midday on matchday instead of the usual 10am.
got to spare a thought for our travelling fans and the Watford fans tomorrow .
You can bet if the winds are as strong as they say both bridges will be closed . Railway networks will be affected
Waiting till 11am will be too late for many
I think they've worked out that if they wait until 11 and THEN cancel it, they can piss off the maximum number of people.
Working on the basis that the club exists predominately to troll people these days
Game OFF according to 5 Live
Official. It's off.
An undefeated weekend, every cloud eh!
Match postponed. After recommendations from Cardiff Council in South Wales police ahead of the incoming storm.
Plymouth v Oxford also off.
Excellent, love it when a weekend cannot be ruined by football…..
This aged well!Quote:
