It seems the EFL are conspiring not to get us promoted.
Hopefully this will reinforce our team spirit , if it was ever needed .
Everyone Warnock , the team the club and the fans , should be galvanised and put everything into these last nine games, starting with Burton.

There's no EFL conspiracy. There's guidelines and possible rules over the timing of rearranged fixtures and to be fair to them, you can now see why. A lot of us would have preferred the Brentford fixture later in the season. If that had happened we would now be in further bother facing 9 games in 30 days, rather than the current 8. They may be a bit more flexible given the reduced likelihood of further postponements beyond that. 3 away trips in 7 days seems very harsh. If they move it to the following week it gives us the one mid week break we get in April closed to the middle of our fixture pile up.
On their statement regarding the postponement they're unlikely to have said anything else at this stage. They've received the report from Derby and have responded on that, excepting it at face value. They'll now have to look into it in more detail, given our formal complaint. If there is any shred of evidence that Derby do didn't all they could to get the game on, then I would expect them to come down hard on Derby.
Clearly they're guilty of sharp practice but proving it may be not be so easy. They need to establish the Police role in all this. At 8 am they said the area was safe and the game could go ahead. Derby have reported to the FA that the Police were part of the decision to call the game off, apparently taken at around the same time. What's that about and what was the Police position ? If the game was called off shortly after 8am as Derby advised the EFL ,why wasn't there ant radio reference to this prior to 8.55 am when I stopped for a break. Clearly I can only speak of the station I was listening to but normally they're a pretty quick reporting postponements.
I think Leicester playing yesterday afternoon, 25 miles away is irrelevant. Derby playing at home to Fulham 2 weeks earlier is much more relevant. Sunday morning followed a 24 hours of poor weather where the actual temperature marginally dipped below zero during the night. Its why the snow pretty much disappeared from roads and paved areas with little or no intervention. The Fulham game followed a week where the temperature was significantly below zero for 24 hours a day, day after day. You cant draw any other conclusion that they worked harder to get the Fulham game on than they did for this.
Derby Count were guilty of showing utter contempt for the football supporter, both their own and visiting and for all those for whom this game would have played a significant part in their weekend.

Whose to say the Policeman who made the decision is not a Derby fan, I don't care what anyone says, the evidence clearly proves it was playable, and that they could hardly provide a team due to injuries and suspension, those players should be banned from playing in the rearranged fixture !!!

Did the meeting actually take place or did Derby actually go with an almost standard prepared report announcement ? Cant believe they'd leave themselves that open to be honest although the conflicting / inconsistent stories coming out of Derby does make you question the integrity of the decision.
As for not playing who couldn't have played yesterday that wont happen. Who ever is available will be available to play. Its unfair and if there's anything untoward in this they'll be fined. The fact that several thousand people will have wasted their time and hundreds of thousands of pounds wont come into it.

They have left themselves open to punishment! Evidence points to police not objecting to game, safety advisory group not their remit to cancel, referee didn't cancel surrounding areas safe as pictures show local services running and open who's left? Efl were to quick to side with derby before full facts known even cursery look at conditions will show game could be played if derby wanted it and obviously they had reason for it not to happen.
