‘Totally embarrassing’, ‘Disgrace’ – Many QPR fans react to key club update
Queens Park Rangers’ Championship visit to Rotherham on Saturday has been postponed due to the weather, the South Yorkshire outfit have confirmed.
In a statement on their website, the Millers revealed that their New York Stadium pitch has frozen over and is therefore deemed unplayable, with a risk of player safety.
The pitch underwent an inspection from an EFL official earlier on Friday, but later this afternoon the game was called-off.
It’s a frustrating situation for Mark Warburton, whose side have been in outstanding league form in 2021, and moved five points clear of relegation following last Saturday’s win over Blackburn.
Quiz: Did each of these 18 ex-QPR players ever score a goal at Loftus Road?
Rangers have managed to beat Luton, Cardiff and Watford this year, and would’ve been hoping to continue their ever-growing momentum in Yorkshire.
However, QPR’s trip to the Millers will be postponed until at least the end of March – with fixtures in each of the next five midweek periods in this congested campaign.
Warburton’s team return to action on Wednesday when they host West London rivals and second-tier leaders Brentford at Loftus Road.
But here’s how a frustrated Rangers faithful reacted on Twitter to their meeting with Rotherham losing out to the weather:
WE play in the 2nd tier of English football and teams like @OfficialRUFC still have frozen pitches????
Cant we just play it at a neutral venue or just unfreeze the pitch, theres still 27 hours until the game 🤦♂️— NJWFC (@njwfc) February 12, 2021
