VINCE ALM: “ REFUNDS “

Hi All regards refunds for this trip, we will confirm if tickets can be refunded with Cardiff City FC. Unfortunately we cannot do anything with the coach travel money as the buses will still need to be paid for about £6000. We will see if anything can be done regards this cost but as it stands it's very Unlikely.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I know many of you made an extraordinary effort to get to the coaches this morning in appalling conditions, including coach drivers who turned up for work early to avoid being snowed in.

personally I believe it's a poor show by Derby and the authorities, and I have received conflicting reports why the game was called off from official sources.


Will update if we have any further news.


Derby Pitch 9am this morning

MAybe Vincent will put his hand in his pocket in what will be a critical match. Gutted today, up at 5 like most. Roads seemed ok until Ross on wye but 2,700 away fans everybody buzzing and derby police and club saying all is good. Then all of a sudden match is off. Brentford got it right and appreciate different circumstances but bad call by derby.

Over 2,600 fans making a Hurculean effort to support our fantastic team today :clap:

Wouldn't it be a genuine (and timely) gesture from the club to help with travel for the rearranged fixture? ;)

Would go a long way to garner good relations IMHO :thumbright: :ayatollah:

Pitch fine
Public transport running in Derby
Police confirm roads clear
Cardiff fans all traveling fine
Leicester game on
No games off yesterday

If this doesn’t warrant a investigation I don’t know what doesn’t! Derby FC will simply say there staff couldn’t travel in!

Just got back. Got to m5 when heard so 3 hours on road in total... Don't understand why called doff. Snow Not that bad? If we could have got there surely staff could. Why didn't they pre plan staff at risk. To stay in the local hotels. Poor planning

Yeah it was real it was deleted pretty swiftly, they’ve now tweeted that they’ve had to close due to safety.

But if they are at theshop now surely they are safe
It wouldbe more dangerous if they triedto travel home in these terrible conditions
This is a totall lack of respect and deliberate cheating not just on us but also the other teams chasing a play off place
