UPDATED: Brentford v CCFC Cancelled: Refunds for the Match

A lot will depend on officials, stewards, and players etc. being able to get there safely. I suppose it will depend on the weather today. Hopefully, won't be as much as last night.

I'm pretty confident it will be on. The snow predicted for this afternoon is light, the temperature is picking up from this afternoon, not predicted to go below freezing tonight and by lunchtime tomorrow will be up around 6 degrees.

Travel for the team today is tricky, but hopefully for the support it will improve tomorrow.

Met Office update for the Brentford area

Crucial information here for any Cardiff City fans ahead of this weekend’s game...

The Met Office have issued a yellow warning of wind and ice snow from Friday 2 March.
Remaining very cold across most areas on Friday, with severe weather involving snow, ice and wind. Into the weekend, temperatures look likely to slowly recover closer to normal from the south but will still remain cold. Wind chill and drifting snow will become less of an issue.
Delays and cancellations to public transport are likely, as are delays to travel on roads.

Another Championship game postponed

Ipswich Town have announced that their clash with Hull City at Portman Road tomorrow has been postponed due to snow.

No news from Brentford...

Just seen on Facebook the coach driver of the Cardiff city team bus is working so assume the team are travelling to Brentford by the looks of it

Personally stuck in Vale Of Glamorgan they should be called off. It's not safe for us fans to travel. Yes it may get better in Brentford but over a 1000 city fans have to travel on dangerous icy roads.

No undersoil heating ????

The problem will be - can the Cardiff supporters coaches get a there ?

Remembering many come from the valleys, and can supporters get to the pick ups ?

Also the drivers need to be available.

It's not just about the pitch.

I agree an early call off would be better for our fans and the team, would have saved them travelling for nothing !

I think it will be called off.

Pitch inspection 1pm

If the game was being played today I'm pretty confident that it would go ahead.

But I thought the forecast for tomorrow shows a significant improvement. They cant be entirely happy having now taken the snow off the pitch. Anyway what will be will be.

Morrison’s Mrs just put a video up on her Instagram story of them in the Cardiff streets in the snow.. so if the team are travelling, he isn’t.

BRENTFORD PITCH INSPECTION. 1pm today
There will be a pitch inspection at Griffin Park at 1pm to determine whether tomorrow's game has to be postponed.

Just driven back from Brentford. The M4 is awful from Reading even though driveable.
and that was in a 4x4.

If it’s on I respectfully suggest everyone in buses, coached n cars leaves a lot more time than usual. It’s not 2 to 2.5hours this time!

Heard that Wimbledon's game is postponed due to frozen pitch, only around 10 miles from Brentford. I know a few fans on the Brentford forum are worried this one may go the same way.

I wouldn't believe anything on Facebook Annis, it's full of fake news and weirdos

It's not just about the pitch.

Wouldn’t the game go ahead regardless of whether away support can get there?
I realise it’s s big issue for us City fans but I’m sure it influence the match going ahead or not.

Don't forget their fans, some may actually struggle to get there.
