Cardiff City 2009-2010 season

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.

This might shed some light for you

Wtf has it got to do with us ? :confused:

At least the Cardiff supporters will be used to receiving harsh penalties. ;)

You couldn't resist any longer could you.

Directly it has nothing to do with Palace. The point I was going to make was that Palace fans on here seem very quick to knock us for our hooligan element, when a quick google reveals that you'ree recent history of arrests and jail sentnces is not exactly good, and worse than Cardiff's by a way!!
 
This morning there were loads of posts on another board that seemed too far fetched to be belived. However, the club site now says..

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.

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)

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.

Word around the camp fire is that the system is now up and running, so roll on boxing day.
 
I knew it was on but was in a Chinese restaurant at the time.

Otherwise i would have asked him, Which Echo journalist would you most like to slap, if you could.
 
I know it must be shitty for you guys* but I would have loved to have watched that game.

(*Hey - it can't be that bad - you're top 6, we (Argyle) are bottom 3)
