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
BREAKING: All football matches have been postponed in Wales tomorrow due to the severe red wind weather warning.

It's set up to be our snowgate.Originally Posted by Grievous Angel
Sky reported all FAW matches are off and assumed EFL, too. Even if the worst is over by 11.00am ish conditions could be tricky.
Contrary to media reports, our Sky Bet Championship fixture against Watford is scheduled to go ahead as planned tomorrow (3pm kick-off).
A safety inspection will be held at Cardiff City Stadium at 11am tomorrow, with further updates thereafter.
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!
somehow I even managed to get this prediction wrong
It's the red warning that ends at 11am, not the consequences of it.
And a P-P draw but is…
Can anyone remember any previous City matches that have been postponed the day before due to what the weather might be like?
Maybe it has happened before, but I can’t recall such a scenario.
Off the top of my head games at Leicester and Brentford?
Brentford was early 2000s. Leicester was dave jones era around Xmas time? Less sure on Leicester!!
Both away though i think. Can't remember a home game being off.
Even then the above were probably because of frozen pitches?
One positive is that unless both Hull and QPR win we won't go back to bottom 3.
I don't think the Met Office used to give out these red weather warnings.
Having said that I can't remember a match being postponed because of wind.
Guess we've global warming to thank.
Leicester at home in 2009 was called off on the morning of the match (I looked it up). Didn't we also have a game called off at the CCS (v Fulham?) as there was damage to the roof?
No.
My son and I decided it was too risky at 1:00 today and opted to give it a miss.
When theclub heard this, they said, "well if you're not coming, we may as well not play"
So sorry lads, it's our fault.
