Marc505 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 My gut feeling is that everything will be off but this guy does have a point. It's obviously totally unprecedented but I wonder in this discussion with the government whether the PL will be saying we're already pushed for availability before WC starts, and how much sway they'll have.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 8, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2022 It is a fair point. Still think they will be postponed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Playing the games would allow hundreds of thousands of people to pay their respects at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhanley Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Funeral won't be for about 8 or 9 days from now - and I am led to believe that day will be a public holiday. I agree that games should go ahead this weekend and people should be allowed to pay their respects at those matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand next weekend when the funeral is scheduled for, but surely it’s too late for this weekend with the cost / inconvenience and what people will do without sport.

Leyther_Matt Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 It will already be decided, talk of discussions are purely because they don’t want to be accused of insensitivity by announcing so soon. Very much expect all games to be off this Friday, Saturday and Sunday and everything off on the day of the funeral too (presumably next Saturday - maybe shift all the games to Sunday?)

stevieb Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Rotherham and the likes will probably blame us for unfairly benefitting as the Queen passed through Bolton once in the 60s. Not sure cancelling this weekends fixtures achieves anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
