To pick up at Portman Road, according to some tweets...
What happens if the scarfers can't get to the game? It probably still goes ahead, doesn't it? It's Sky after all. [Post edited 20 Oct 2023 14:08]

I am probably being cynical but I would be on Sky being the only reason it hasn't been called off at this stage! If they are going to cancel I hope they do so sooner rather than later, although I fear many will have already left for the game. |  | | |

It is more about the pitch itself (referee’s decision) and the conditions surrounding the ground (police and local council). If the supporters were in consideration an early pitch inspection would have been carried out. | | | |

Why would they leave 6 hours before kick off?! Can only be a two hour drive from Ippo surely? |  |

Probably about 4 hours in the rain, bearing in mind they will hit traffic the closer it gets to 5pm. | | | |

Er, it's nearly double that without heavy traffic/sh*t weather/coach driver needing to stop, etc. |  |

If they haven't left yet, they won't get there in time. Assuming a couple of 15 minute stops, it's getting towards a 6 hour journey in this weather |  | | |

Not travelled to Yorkshire from there admittedly, but it’s only three hours from me in south Oxfordshire and you’re a lot further north!
Ok, even if it’s 3-4 hours, I doubt they’d leave at 2pm!! | |

No problems with the pitch at all it seems

Rain will just make the coach skid along the motorway even quicker!
30 degrees in Rhodes atm and I’ve got a bar sorted for the match, so it’s best be on! | |

Not gonna be many Town fans there, plus horrible conditions. I hope the team are able to adapt. |  |

Galloway’s canceled them apparently. Going to be a lot of unhappy people |  |

Seems like Galloways pulled their coaches which has left a few coach loads worth of fans in Ipswich.
Seen some other people say they can't even get towards Rotherham on the train as several services are cancelled.
Going to be mainly people who managed to get there by car at this rate. |  |

Proof, if it were ever needed, that the fans mean nothing to the bigwigs. |  | | |

What are they supposed to do? Hire canoes or a fleet of helicopters? | |

Speak to the lot over the road about borrowing a coach or 3?
I don't get how Galloway can just not provide the coaches if people have bought tickets.
If they'd known sooner perhaps people could have worked out other ways to get to Rotherham, but you are basically stuffed finding out at 2pm. | | | |

Who goes to footy on a coach anyway?!
Actually I know the answer to that.. | |

Postpone the game early so travel could be avoided. I can still get there but I feel for those from afar when the inevitable early evening postponement happens. |  |

I am wishing it hadn’t been on Sky and was still on tomorrow as it was in the programme!
At least we would have been able to go to it and the weather would probably be better. |  | | |

I'm not blaming the coach company, it's the bigwigs who seem hellbent on getting the game played come what may. Rotherham is under an amber weather warning for heavy rain. It states:
"Fast flowing or deep floodwater is possible, causing danger to life"
https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-warnings#?id=4d111b3
Makes a mockery of the warnings system if it's just ignored. | | | |

Apparently, Galloways struggled to get to PR in the first instance. |  | | |
