With Radio Wales reporting at 5.30pm that the latest pitch inspection was passed it was disappointing to find out just 20 mins later that the game had been called off.
I'd made it as far as the end of the M4 while others had got all the way to the ground.
Any hope of seeing a live game was dashed when Swansea's game at Port Talbot was also postponed. Though I'm not sure how good an idea that would have been with my big Cardiff City raincoat on.
No new date yet for the re-arranged match.
