EGG CHASERS PLAYING TODAY????

Can someone explain to me how our game was called off early on friday due to saftey issues, but the rugby goes ahead today?????

I can understand that as far as the valley support goes but the game was called off because of saftey worries around the stadium, so what has changed in 48 hours????

If the game had gone ahead there would have been a crowd of 5000 if we were lucky, its not just the valleys that could not have got to cardiff but nearly everywhere else, bridgend, port talbot, llantrisant newport, the rummny valley, etc etc

so why was there no effort made for our game???????

Because the weather forecast was for snow yesterday. Which, funnily enough, happened. Clearing thus would have had little to no effect because the snow would simply have returned.

Given it was forecasted not to snow from yesterday afternoon on, and weather improve, clearing would have an effect.

Plus, as already been stated numerous times, Blues face heavy fine if game NOT played today plus lose Sky money. Hence Blues have made every effort to get game on.

There's no conspiracy, no egg favouritism. Our game could not have been played yesterday, if you lived in Cardiff, not difficult to understand why. Egg game has a good chance of being played, they have no option but to make every effort and the weather has improved.

Yeah, Nerd makes some valid points. I think the main factors are...

- A large number of our fans travel from far and wide which would have ruled them out - not fair on them paying £20 for a match ticket and having the game on. At least postponing it means they can still get their money's worth.

- Cardiff rugby fans are more centralised.

- The roads are a lot better today than they were yesterday. My missus couldn't get to work yesterday but can today.

- The sheer numbers of fans attending the two games are totally different. 20,000 going to a football match is more likely to see people injured through slipping or sliding on the ice. Where as with only 5,000 rugby fans it's less likely someone will get hurt.

- Plus, as Nerd pointed out about the weather, they've had a good 18 hours without the threat of further snow to clear it all.
