Carl will update that more in Next Weeks update.

I Dont understand how they can get it Ready for the 2nd week running for Rugby(Last Week Newport Dragons played on it), But Yesterday They Never even Attempted to Clear it For CITY'S Game ?
Personally I Believe the game would of been attended by a Very Low Crowd, But they are working hard to get the Rugby on lol


I LOVE A GOOD DEBATE :lol: :lol: :lol:



one of only two Championship games postponed....very embarrassing
so much for the 'state of the art' £60m stadium (as Riddler called it)
what if we were in the Premier League? we would now be the laughing stock
the club has to do better

it has nothing to do with the stadium.....i'm sure the pitch is playable......it's the area around the stadium.....it's covered in snow and ice.....dangerous for spectators

IN A LOT OF WAYS I Agree, UNTIL I HEARD THEY WERE TRYING TO GET THE RUGBY GAME ON IN THE SAME STADIUM.


Yes but they have no fans, a football crowd is ten times bigger, and it would have been complete chaos trying to get there !

I think what has Annoyed Me most is, I popped down to Cost Co early tHis Afternoon. Drove through the Cardiff City Car Park and there were Workers Everywhere with even Tractors Clearing All the Car Parks up, I asked them hows it gone, They Said it had been easy and they Had been brought in to Clear it All up for the Rugby. I have to admit theyve done an Excellent Job.

My opinion is this is a poor effort from the club. We have around 17,000 season tickets holders so no income would have come from them, and if say 6,000 had bought tickets Im sure they would have been valid for the re-arranged game. So it begs the question what has gone wrong. We have undersoil heating and it emerges the pitch wasnt even covered. The only problem I would have seen is clearing the car park of snow to possibly meet healy and safety, but surely volunteerrs would have come and helped do this. I dont think enought effort was done, The only positive I would say is people pay good money for a season ticket and if the game did go ahead then possibly over half wouldnt have been able to get down and watch it.

Yep, that (the rugby thing) makes it very suspicious....

If you were a conspiracy theorist you could summise that this was done deliberately to give the NEW manager an extra game under his command....

Annis, stop smiling!!!! :lol:

I think they had to finish it, Roy Keane alone would have caused as much as damage and chaos as the students did if it had been abandoned :o
