Championship - Rotherham United vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread (Postponed)

Going to go against the majority view here.
Whilst I have sympathy for those who travelled, as many have pointed out, there has been a weather warning in place for awhile. Why would you even attempt to travel??? Common sense, self preservation, call it what you like, but surely you think, nah, it's not worth it.

Took me an hour to get from Thetford to Bury last night coming home from work. I'd had enough after that.

You are of course spot on . Severe weather warnings for I don’t know how long …. Advice of not to travel. It would have been madness to drive to Rotherham last night. I wouldn’t have done it ….

As more information comes to light it would appear the Rotherham pitch was still classed as playable right up to kick off and the match would have survived had the River Don not burst its banks a few hours before kick off.

Given this is only the second time the river has flooded since 2007 and the first time since 2019 maybe the postponement was less likely than most of us predicted.

As others have eluded too there are times when we have to take responsibility for our own decisions and actions however nobody likes to buy tickets for an event and then miss it unnecessarily.

Maybe we were simply unlucky to have draw the worst possible Championship fixture of the weekend given all other games survived.

You took the words right out of my mouth! Can't believe the amount of fans moaning. I understand the desire to follow them home & away but sometimes its just not worth the risk to life & limb!

Flaw in the system potentially, do people that bought away tickets still keep the points on their travel status?

Seems a lot are blaming Sky for the c*ck up.

No surprise there then … money grabbing tosses! Mind you, Rotherham could have says no to Sky money. Yer, right. The game has sold its soul to this company…
