David Eyley said: "Shocking. If it’s off, I’d apply for Bradford to compensate for fuel and train tickets."

Julie Shannan said: "Feel it for those that have travelled."

Marcus Howe added: "They knew the forecast for today, should have been called off last night."

George Crook said: "Thousand fans en route. Clever planning from Bradford."

Web user All I Desire commented: "Why wasn't a pitch inspection carried out earlier so that the fans would know whether to travel or not?"

Web user Rangers55 said: "They are should have known the pitch was frozen early this morning before the fans had set off, feel sorry for the two fans that were filling their car up at Tesco's this morning."

User Half Time Already? said: "I got a cheapish flight from Alicante Spain to watch the match and stay with friends in Bradford who got me a ticket, sadly no game, I feel very sorry for those travelling from Cumbria for a wasted journey, at least I caught up with some mates not seen for a good while and a few beers. Look forward to seeing the rearranged game sometime. Up the Blues."
