Wasn’t that the last game of the season though? Also may not have been anything riding on the outcome, so an easy precedent for them to make. That’s what I recall anyway. I think most would agree that it’s probably better to have this one replayed, a share of the points would have been ideal yesterday, but who knows what the best permutation would be when it’s played? Hopefully it’s still a very crucial game for both clubs & Town. Our game vs them this season edit: apologies i didnt read the post uou quoted Are you referring to Hawkeye? |

Looks like “this week” the 6 points are coming off Reading. According to their Chicken.

Wasn't there someone on the pitch at the end with crutches or was it a disabled mobility scooter?
Edit: (that Blackpool game that was called off)

As I see it we had a game postponed at Blackpool just after half time and the result stood. So as it’s the same competition surely the Rotherham v Cardiff game is the same!

The shithousery in the Championship is unrivalled. Flooding a pitch to get an abandonment. The EFL will have fun and games sorting that out. Like Blackpools undersoil heating conveniently breaking down the day they play us....a day after appointing McCarthy who hadnt had any time to work with his players yet? I don't think their pitch has undersoil heating at all. |

Aye but there was - for me anyway, because had we won which we were favourites to do, Town would’ve finished above Leeds in The League since the first time since Nineteen Canteen (sometime in the 60’s) and I was apoletic with anger when it was announced that the abondened score would stand... I remember being in Glasgow that day drinking in The Pot Still pub and scarcely believing what I was seeing coming in on the TV screen - Thankfully we finished above them not long after in the season we got promoted to The Premier League ! |

If the gap between us and Reading, after their deduction, stays at three points (and they concede slightly more goals than us) then the last game of the season would be a winner takes all game. Just six years on from the play-off final.

Edit: (that Blackpool game that was called off) There was definitely a fella (I think) cruising about the pitch in a mobility scooter and watching pictures of the events unfolding in a pub in Glasgow that day, everyone was pissing themselves laughing... However we all agreed he wouldn’t be spinning about in his mobility scooter for long given the brutal way The Tory’s were targeting the disabled in Glasgow at the time according to the good patrons of that pub - I often wonder if he ever got pulled up for that by The Tory’s - hopefully to goodness not - most football fans take a drink at the footy but I’m not sure if they could do anyone driving pissed in one of these mobility scooters ! |

So the EFL are still negotiating with Reading regarding a points deduction, they are reviewing whether Wigan should have a points deduction for failing to pay their players numerous times and they are now reviewing the Rotherham v Cardiff postponement and what to do. Wouldn’t it be better if they had a set of rules that clearly sets out what happens in these circumstances. Just hit all three for 12 points... consistency. All 4 Cardiff did their part  |

Looking at that fixture list for Rotherham, it would probably have been better had Cardiff went on to win yesterday though I don’t know what their run in looks like... Having said that an extra midweek game towards the critical business end of the relegation dogfight doesn’t do any harm either - But you just know what’s in the bloody script for Town... yep after the game being abandoned and losing - The Millers will win the rearranged game with a dodgy last minute penalty ☹️ ! |

Rotherham should get everything thrown at them. Evidence of sprinklers used at Half Time and also ground staff doing half arsed jobs like they were told not to get rid of it. Seen several videos. Ridiculous carry on. Did they have loads out injured? One guy pushes a load of water off the pitch and then drags even more back on And the sprinklers were defo on at the town end at half time Not sure, but they were losing. The cynic in me wonders if the sprinklers would have been turned on, or if the ground staff would have been dragging water back on to the pitch had the score line been reversed. Not terribly sporting of them, but if there's no rule against it (and I don't know either way whether there is or not) then a part of me admires the inventiveness of the shithousery. |

Guaranteed that any punishment for us will be applied immediately and with diligence. I suspect that it would be applied immediately and with diligence against them as well if they didn't put up a fight against it. We're changing owners now but the way we've just meekly accepted things stands in stark contrast. Who else but us wouldn't have called for a review after the (suspected) foul play at Wembley? (yes, I am still bitter, but part of my bitterness is about how callow our club's response was) |

Rotherham might get a couple of grand fine but cannot see anymore as they can blame the weather. I seem to remember a club called Coventry postponing their first 3 home games this season, all at very short notice, even through they were aware that the pitch would not be fit for at least a month, did they get punished at all

The football authorities have always been weak at punishing clubs in the south. Just look back at how Sheff United were treated when West Ham signed Tevez.
I would be surprised if Reading got a 6point deduction. If it were Town that did the same we would have got the full 12.

I suspect if the rumours of Wigan getting a few points deduction are true I suspect Reading will wait to see what happens and perhaps the odd team going into administration. There is clearly some sort of deal going on between the EFL and Reading that they will take their punishment but only at a time when it means nothing!
