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?) That's a scary and perfect logical possibility. Going to Tenerife that Sunday and I've not missed a home league game this century yet, this is worrying.
September 8, 20223 yr Be surprised if it is on . Announced the country is in a state of morning so can’t see football being played at the weekend

I’m supposed to have a game in 11 hours under Premier League jurisdiction and still none the wiser but I expect an announcement by probably 10 this morning confirming everything off this weekend
September 9, 20223 yr Bollocks if I’m honest (and that’s not because I’ve bought train tickets) Look at West Ham last night that would be like most grounds this weekend much better way to show respect Weekend of the funeral i totally get
September 9, 20223 yr This is interesting (if true, journaliste and all that). Anyone with a big injury list or teams out of form might be up for a call off.

This is buck passing at its finest/worst, if it happens. PL/EFL need to earn their coin and impose a blanket decision ASAP.

September 9, 20223 yr 3 minutes ago, Casino said: Irish FA have called off all games We are waiting for VAR
September 9, 20223 yr Would it be virtue signalling to call off the games? Fwiw, and tbh, i dont have a horse in this race, i think they should be off Im damn sure fixture congestion shouldnt be coming into it
September 9, 20223 yr It'll cost the country a fortune to call the games off. Cheltenham will have to refund at least 700 fans who won't make the midweek trip. Pubs will miss out on beer sales, taxi companies miss out on fares, hotel rooms getting cancelled - multiply all that by say 40 games around the country. Add on to that theatres, other sports etc and for what - someone's 96 year old grandma has died

Sometimes in life you just need to keep your thoughts to yourself.

September 9, 20223 yr I just don't see why sport should be cancelled. Yes, she was a good queen but what good will it do? Are we incapable of showing respect while at a game? I'm done with away days if this is off

Are we incapable of showing respect while at a game? I'm done with away days if this is off I agree that sport shouldn't be cancelled. In a way it'd be great that hundreds of thousands of people can all gather and show their respects. That said, it's a bit distasteful to say they shouldn't be postponed just because she's someone's grandma. Edited September 9, 20223 yr by DazBob
September 9, 20223 yr Leave things on. If people want to stay at home as a mark of respect, let them do that do. Let us at least have a choice.
