    Bizarre in my opinion, would’ve been better to do a minutes silence and wear black armbands to show our respect.

    Can’t imagine she’d have wanted everyone to be sat at home, miserable and bored.

    It would not surprise me if, This weekends games are off, The Champions League and Euro fixtures go ahead midweek then next weekends games are off. It would make absolutely no sense for some games to be fine but others not to be but thats how I can see it now panning out.

    Sure. I'm not saying everything we've done is bad. We clearly have led the world in various positive ways. I just think that the ex-Empire/current Commonwealth countries wouldn't read those lyrics in the way that you have, given their subjective experiences of British colonial rule.

    Don’t even get ten days off to work to officially mourn our own relatives, who have a far greater impact and influence in our day to day lives.

    Truly ridiculous decision but not an unsurprising one when you see its the Premier League and EFL who made it. Zero concerns for the fans as per usual, particularly those who have non refundable travel and accommodation booked. Meanwhile, the rugby is still going ahead tomorrow. How does football keep getting it so wrong?

    Have Rugby announced what is going to happen? I know the match in France is happening but they were still discussing Huddersfield last I heard

    Don't agree with why the FL and PL have postponed this weekend's games, but I understand why. If they'd gone ahead, the likes of the Daily Mail and Express would have been running headlines about these institutions being run by; 'dangerous radicals that hate England, they're worse than the Taliban'. Doesn't seem to affect them though, they can work and publish their newspapers, it's other people who have to 'show respect' by modifying their behaviour, do as we say, not as we do.

    The FA have cancelled all games down to grassroots level, it's not just the PL & EFL. This is hackney marsh level cancellations.

    Just check Dave, some tickets are refundable, some are not, all those that are refundable are subject to a “ cancellation fee” . It was in my time for sure.

    Best place to check is “ The National Conditions of Carriage “ from memory.

    The Premier League Statement leaves it open ended.

    "This is aligned with the approach that The FA and EFL will take with their competitions this weekend.

    Further updates regarding Premier League fixtures during the period of mourning will be provided in due course."

    If they intend to postpone games or play them being clear now might be a start. It's alot harder for people to change plans if it is announced a few days before than if it were to confirm that the midweek and next week fixtures are to go ahead now.

    My comments are in line with the EFL statement which I have seen and is aligned to the FA and PL. The statement makes clear it’s only 9&10 September matches and my message from the Club says unless there is a change by those Authorities our next game is Tranmere on Tuesday.
