Why didn't they call it off earlier In the month when the snow was heavier? Simple...it suited them to play.

If derby wanted this on it would be on

What a load of bollocks.

The weather is bad in Derby and the match couldn’t go ahead for that reason alone. Our fans love a conspiracy theory.


Sky Sports just showed live pictures of inside ground and pitch looks lovely, no snow in ground, seats, sides, gangways.

Obviously live pictures of pitch and ground are not the same as outside, I suspect those who stayed overnight in Derby will confirm it is bad in the surrounding areas.


We’re here and unless the staff are coming in from Antarctica I can’t see how it’s too dangerous for them to come in

Doesn't that suit us too regarding our injury situation?

Re: “ DERBY COUNTY v CARDIFF CITY POSTPONED “

It might backfire on them, we will have more players back for the rearranged game also, Gunner Ralls and more.

When our game at brentford was called off along with a load of other casualties during the beast from the east Derby's game went ahead that day..BUT TODAY'S IS OFF ?????

My belief is they are pulling a fast one due to the amount of injuries they have. Yes it's snowing but come an easy cop out saying surrounding areas unsafe. :bluebird: midweek game again. :banghead:

What a disgrace this was planned and should be overturned by the FA.

Re: “ DERBY COUNTY v CARDIFF CITY POSTPONED “

I spoke with Derby on Friday and they said the game would definitely be on as they had previously played in much worse conditions and weather forecasts with no problems.

So how come their staff could get there for that game and not this one?

Why didn't they call us at 6am this morning or push the KO back to 2pm or later?

We've been done as they've used the snow as an excuse to delay the game whilst they get players back. They should forfeit the game and be fined. Absolute Shitehouses.

Leicester game on and only 30 mins away! (Selective snow at Derby ) Surely they should have made arrangements to make sure surrounding areas was safe it's not rocket science to sort out!

Derby buses are running so there is no excuse!! We should get the 3 points and derby should be docked points, it's a discrace!

Just saw picture from sky and there appeared to be no problem with around stadium or the Rd looked slushy that's it! Derby on other hand posted picture showing about 4ft of snow at a funny angle :o

Surprise, surprise. Rowett did’nt want to play us with their injuries and Huddlestone’s suspension. So who are these so called “authorities”, that made the call?

Re: “ DERBY COUNTY v CARDIFF CITY POSTPONED “

Sun Mar 18, 2018 10:16 am

Wow the excuse for staff not getting to work is shocking. Staff as in stewards, players. Got to M5. Waste. Of time and effort

If our squad stayed in derby last night they will have an idea as to whether DERBY have pulled a fast one and if so should be really fired up when they do play.

Halford tweet says it all. Think our players and management team can see what's happened. Thanks Derby for your lack of efforts

Seen a lot of stick here for the club but why is no one blaming sky??? 3pm Saturday kick off and the game goes ahead?! It’s not Derbys fault they moved it to a stupid time in the first place! We couldn’t make the game today because all roads around to Derby are closed...yes we have injuries but if anyone thinks that’s why it’s been called off then they really are clutching at the straws

It's the reverse.

BECAUSE of the injuries the club have clutched at the straws to call it off.

At least we can have a pint at The Yard, which is.open at the ground or go down the road a bit and watch Leicester later.

Oh how I love a good conspiracy theory. :lol:

So 2k fans travelling 150 miles managed to get there but people travelling 20 miles cannot? And you are unhappy it's called off I suppose? :laughing6:

It's same in valleys here! but that's not a reason to call game off because some fans cannot get to ground what about Leicester that's on and have same problems as derby regarding rural areas. :thumbup:

Even being 7 points clear off third doesn’t stop the bitterness! Enjoy your Sunday

Play it at our place on a Tuesday. Stuff them.

I'll swap our bitterness for your lack of empathy. Never mind the game let's think about the fans paying out money they cannot get back as the coaches were on their way.
