    Surely it would be off by now wouldn’t it?

      The last few hours have seen a slight melt in Sheffield (Rotherham will be the same) with some blue skies and a bit of sun although most fields, gardens and pavements are solid snow and ice. But now it is overcast again and a few flakes of snow coming down. It should start to freeze again in 2-3 hours. I am more confident the game will go ahead now than I was this morning - but there must still be a doubt.

      Don't we usually get a time for the pitch inspection by now? I suppose it depends when Rotherham take the covers off and what else they do to stop the pitch freezing. No undersoil heating at the New York Stadium.

          If that photo is from this afternoon (just posted by Rotherham on their website) the pitch looks OK if not frozen.

              is it usually dark in Rotherham before 3:00pm?

                    Traffic cams around Rotherham show the weather as dry and....sunny. Not much snow. Looks hopeful for the match going ahead as planned, tonight.

                      Looks as if it's going ahead, but pitch will be frozen by 9pm.

                      A City win 2-1

                        Wonder how that effects their Vitamin D + intake

                          Match facts
                          • This is the first league meeting between Rotherham and Cardiff since February 2017, with the Bluebirds winning 5-0 under Neil Warnock at the Cardiff City Stadium.
                          • Cardiff City’s last away league game against Rotherham was back in 2016/17, a 2-1 win. They have never won back-to-back away games against the Millers.
                          • Since the turn of the year, no Championship side has won more points than Rotherham United (13).
                          • Cardiff are looking to win consecutive away league games without conceding for the first time since February 2020.
                          • The last time Cardiff boss Mick McCarthy faced Rotherham was in the 2016/17 season with Ipswich – the Tractor Boys were the only Championship side who didn’t register a win over the Millers that season (D1 L1).

                                Murphy not starting despite a few players playing a good 90 mins last week.

                                Think the writing is on the wall
