Well in excess of 22,000 tickets have been sold for today's home game with Leicester City, the team are flying, the club could sorely do with a boost to the coffers and the supporters are looking forward to their traditional pre-Xmas drink together ... but, thanks to penny-pinching, the game looks ready to fall victim to the current freeze.
When Cardiff City built the new stadium this year, they proudly unveiled the pipes that would provide under-soil heating to ensure no game would be cancelled in a cold snap. The only problem is ... some clown at the club decided not to bother buying the boiler to go with it!!!
Temperatures since Friday 6pm have dipped below freezing, reaching up tp -4 overnight, and are not expected to rise above freezing until this afternoon. Local parks and gardens are rock solid so unless City have covered the pitch - and they have known this cold spell was coming all week - the game may be postponed.
Current news is a pitch inspection is due at 11:30am. I hope it goes ahead, the backlash will be deafening if this gets pulled.
