flyingscot Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Apparently the English clubs have said the government has no official guidance on it and it's up to individual clubs. Precedent seems to be not having it on the day of death or funeral. That is what happened in Diana's case and when the previous King died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbix Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Just now, AJF said: I think it'll need to be more than 5 to be of any use to us. I figured another fan would say something and we’d just accumulate them. Someone stick a microphone near Martin Compston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have thought that fixture would have been ideal as they'd have been able to take a quick detour over to Ballater to pay their respects........

Charles Stiles Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 With Prince William being President of the FA I'm sure he'll command the EPL and EFL to keep the plebs happy and games should go ahead. They may not be strictly under his control but it's a royal command after all by the (supposed) head of English football. Can't go against a royal command can they. Once that's decided Scotland will then copy as per usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 "The theatre industry is thankful for all the support and patronage Her Majesty has shown throughout her lifetime. We would like to convey our deepest sympathy to the Royal Family at this time of national mourning." They added that, in accordance with advice from the DCMS, scheduled theatre performances will go ahead tonight and during the official period of mourning.

Guest Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 So basically if the Government are advising that Theatre's continue and shouldn't cancel performances then it would seem extremely bizarre if they were to advise that Football shouldn't go ahead !!!

Granny Danger Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I’d sacrifice this weekend’s fixtures if it helps reinforce people’s disdain for the monarchy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that rather than hand us a 3-0 win the SPFL would bend over and do whatever they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal folk don't care that much and would rather continue a normal life, let the games continue fs. Thing is, every other source of entertainment will still be available. You can't go and watch professional sport, however, feel free to get absolutely blootered, go for a meal, go shopping, watch a film etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is being expected to get on with life. Everyone at work today. Footballers will be at their work training today but may well be given the day off work tomorrow. Nonsense.
