CARDIFF CITY chairman Peter Ridsdale apologised to furious fans who saw yesterday's big Championship showdown with Leicester called off . . . because the club's undersoil heating wasn't working.
Red-faced City had to announce the match was postponed after overnight frost made the pitch unplayable.
Ridsdale confirmed the club had gone to great expense to install underground pipes to ensure games could always go ahead at the new Cardiff City Stadium.
But he revealed the system was not yet functioning properly and said he was angered by the situation.
The Bluebirds boss said engineers were scheduled to arrive at the ground tomorrow to get the system into full working order.
He pledged it would be working properly in time for the Boxing Day visit of Plymouth Argyle.
Supporters were left frustrated by the cancellation and bemused that the club's new £50m stadium could be at the centre of such farcical scenes.
