CARDIFF CITY v WATFORD. MATCH POSTPONED

[city1927]

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?

I thought it was Derby in 2009? and the game at the CCS was nearly called off but wasn't and that was the game that we returned finally to blue. We won 1 -0 Sean Morrison scored.

2009 was a bad calendar year for home postponements!

For the Leicester game I was 160 miles into my journey when I heard of the postponement (somewhere around Monmouth).

Not happy.

An early call on this one is the right thing to do.

It's set up to be our snowgate.

Absolutely bizarre calling a game off this early (it isn’t as if there is 6 foot of snow)

At least wait until tomorrow morning.

Just absurd.

It was the first game after we changed back to blue. I took the dog for a walk in Jubilee Park early on the morning of the game and when I saw what had happened to the Canton Stand, I was convinced the match would be called off. As it was, I can’t remember the conditions affecting the game too much, it was an awful watch though - this was during Russell Slade’s time in charge and Fulham had Ross McCormack and ten mediocre others in those days.

it's pretty windy to be fair, wouldn't be much of a spectacle in this

As you were, then. 🤣

I disagree. Would be far more entertaining!

Goal kick at one end going over the bar at the other end for a goal kick.

At the other end goal kick blowing back out for a corner. Would be great fun.

So what's it like now? My phone is telling me that Barry is under a severe wind warning. It sounds to me like the club have done something sensible for a change. Imagine going to the game and then having to evacuate from the stadium due to wind damage. I wouldn't fancy that.

It's still.awful. They were right to call it off when they did.

Where are you? I'm in Riverside and it's just a miserable winter's day, absolutely not calling events off weather, it's not even that windy anymore. Not digging the club out for playing it safe though, hindsight's a wonderful thing

I've just driven from Llandaff North to Roath. True it's not as windy as it was, but still strong gusts and squally showers. Its not just about what the weather is like between 3 and 5pm though.

[Rjk]

my gutters have blown off and ive lost 3 greenhouse windows.
not sure I could have taken a home defeat on top of that, so the club were right to call it off

So you haven’t seen the tree squashing a car on Cathedral Road ?

I've seen the photo of the car that a tree fell onto on Cathedral Rd last night yes, I'm not saying there haven't been strong winds, I'm just saying it's just a miserable winter's day by this point

[B. Oddie]

It was the right call to postpone.

I don't think the decision was made due to it being too windy, as the forecast had it to start settling down from mid-afternoon.

I believe the decision was made due to variables, i.e, would the stadium's structure be compromised, trees/power cables being unsafe, etc.

Good shout.

That tree didn't fall on a car.
The driver misjudged the weight of his Christmas tree he was taking home.

What's nonsense? I literally live in Riverside and wrote that in Riverside having been out walking in Riverside
