Its absurd. If the EFL investigate they may be deducted points as they have obviously lied and put pressure on people to get the game postponed.
However, NW will use this as motivation and I amnsure we will smash them when we do play them.
NW is always good in these situations.

Will NEVER happen too many clubs around us will complain.

Some key points:
- Derby stewards told well before 8.30 Sunday not to turn up
- No officials were at the ground when Cardiff turned up, hence indicating that the calling off was a 'done deal' way before anyone was officially informed
- Police and local authority deny they were involved in the decision and were not consulted until after Derby called it off
- The club shop was initially open and encouraging fans to 'come along' - that alone is a huge contradiction to calling the game off (if the ground was safe enough for people to come along to the club shop it would be safe enough to get to the ground)
- Photos of Derby and surrounding areas showing it was clear
- There were no weather warnings
- Initial comments that the pitch was frozen have now disappeared and Derby have dropped that from the narrative of why the game was called off
- Derby Manager already indicating earlier in the week that he needed to 'get over' the weekend due to suspensions and injuries, alluding to the fact he would be happy for the game to not go ahead
So much evidence that Derby called the game off independently, much earlier than they said, and without justification.
Derby hugely benefited from the game being called off due to players being suspended and injured who will now be available for the replay.
Of course the game HAS to be replayed, we cannot expect to be granted three points for nothing, but we can expect fans to be compensated, Derby docked points and a full and formal apology to our club.
I would also like the EFL to allow us to pick the replay date.
Sadly whenever the replay does happen Derby will have gotten over their injury crisis and key players available after serving their suspensions, so you could argue that we are still disadvantaged. Maybe Derby should be made pick and play only those players who were available on Sunday but of course that wont happen, but would seem just.
I hope the EFL has a pair of balls because honestly the whole think stinks and Derby should be made an example of.

It appears police and sag had nothing to do with this which the EFL was advised otherwise, according to their statement. No one actually seems to know why the game was called off. Not sure they cannot act.

is there proof they were told before 8:30? because that would be significant

IMO the only fair solution is to give us a 0-3 win anything thing else punishes us as we will have a packed fixture list whenever it plays so will give an advantage to wolves, Fulham and villa.
