Not really. Conditions can vary enormously according to the locality.So Cardiff can't get their game on but Newport County can. Joke.

i'd guess it might be more to do with the referee who called the game off too. there are numerous instances of games being played in dangerous conditions or other games being postponed, and come kick off time, the pitch is perfectly playable. i wouldn't read too much into newport's game going ahead, but i am surprised that a brand new ground, with undersoil heating (not 100% sure on this), covers and enclosed from the harshest elements could fall foul to a frozen pitch. hard to say without more information though.
Wtf has it got to do with us ?
At least the Cardiff supporters will be used to receiving harsh penalties.
Our new stadium is fitted with state of the art undersoil heating. Regrettably the final commissioning to ensure that it was fully operational had not been completed.
This morning there were loads of posts on another board that seemed too far fetched to be belived. However, the club site now says..
Which supports the theory that whilst the pipes have been put underneath the pitch, a boiler has yet to be purchased.
I dont know, I am still not prepared to believe it till i know all the facts, but it sounds more plausible by the minute (especially after a pre match drinking session with no actual match to interupt the drinking)
I reiterate,

That's the official line anyway.
Go on ccmb for all the conspiracy/meltdown theories

Echo makes an intresting point re the freeze.
With all of Cardiff's park football called off, if our match had gone ahead we would have higher attendance than usual.
The club missed out on extra cash coming in thanks to this heating farce.

First we loose to bottom of the table ipswich, then bottom of the table plymouth.
