The dithering on announcing the decision as well does suggest they're unsure though? The SPFL are just waiting to see what the English leagues do Would be nice to see if they had any independent thoughts of their own We’re such a weird country 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 We’re still waiting for the decisions from individual sporting bodies over whether this weekend’s fixtures and events will take place. It feels as though no-one wants to be the first to decide which way to go and when one of the governing bodies announces their decision the rest will quickly follow. The Premier League have been in discussions over postponements since 11am. The tight schedule due to the World Cup in November/December will undoubtably be a big factor in influencing their decision.

Guest Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 The problem they have is that if they cancel stuff now, they're going to also have to cancel it for the next 10 days minimum which may be a price they'll be unwilling to pay ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 The questions that need asked here are, Do the fans want it cancelled ? Do the players want it cancelled ? If the answer to these questions is NO, then under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should the games be postponed as who's actually making these decisions and what exactly are they based on ??

Guest Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Premier League and EFL games postponed A statement from the EFL reads: "Further to discussions on Friday morning it has been determined that all EFL fixtures from 9-10 September will be postponed as a mark of respect by the National Sport to the passing of HRH Queen Elizabeth II. “This is aligned with the approach that the Premier League and the FA will take with their competitions this weekend. “Further information, in respect of how football, Clubs and their supporters will commemorate Her Majesty’s reign will be confirmed at an appropriate point. “Details regarding rearranged games will be announced in due course."

It honestly wouldn't surprise me to find that Rangers have insurance against a game being postponed because the monarch died. Not that it's relevant this week, mind.
