Who would have thought the PL would get it wrong - not consider fans etc etc eh....?!

Maybe. Which is why they should have got games in while they can. Although I imagine London will be chaos next week. 

I have to admit, if it goes ahead and the funeral is either side of it, I’m already dreading going to Chelsea. I hate London and the Underground at the best of times. It’ll just be heaving and chaos.

I was supposed to be going down next week for work. Tried booking hotels this morning and they're mental prices or booked already. Even shitholes like the apoint are over 250 quid a night. There must be all kinds of people shipping in for the whole week.

Like Fulham, I'll likely just be going for the heavy drinking.

I was sad she died and then they canceled the footy in England and now I'm happy again.

They should have asked Rugby and Cricket what they were doing and followed.

Can't help but feel the PL/ FA have tried a bit of oneupmanship in being the first to announce postponements; and got it wrong. Similarly, so have BHB in regards to horse racing....

All the travel plans, hotels booked, etc You can bet people will struggle to get refunds.......

If it’s rearranged for a Wednesday in January or February, I’ll let you know. 

[Barrington Womble]

The guardian say they expect the funeral to be Monday 19th. So maybe next weekend can go ahead?

Urgh. I’ve come round to the idea it’ll be postponed now. 
 

At least we’d get the Monday off work.

It'll be fantastic. Until we then have to play 3 games per week literally until the end of the season, if we advance in the cups. The players may literally fall over, like that cunt Keita.

As long as we bring in another midfielder on loan that hasn't played for 3 months I'm sure we'll be fine.

I thought this too, but as Rico pointed out will the police really want all the hassle of this match the day before the funeral?

Well I'm sure they can't be bothered, but that's the job. There's barely any police at the football anymore anyway, it's nearly all stewards.

Football is different to cricket and horse racing. Cricket can't be rearranged for November and horse racing is very weather dependent too for the flat, age is factor too. Golf is another sport with a very fixed schedule, those lads don't have a free week to reconvene.

Fear not, there'll be some football in the UK this weekend:

I hope all clubs and frankly the PL are doing this - fair do's to Man City here:

Well done lads. 

I've just found out that they've cancelled all the kids games where I referee. I was due to ref an under 11s game. Pretty pathetic at that age group even if I understand some professional games being cancelled for a funeral.

Not sure about the wages bit but the club have donated all perishable food.

One of the papers were saying we may not play for nearly a month in the PL because the Chelsea match was unlikely to go ahead if the funeral was the following day.

They've cancelled a local park run near where I live. I just don't even.

[deiseach]

Having just spoken to my wife, who seems to think seven days of national mourning have been announced like this was Iran after Ayatollah Khomeini died  - there's something about seven extra days of royal mourning out there if you want to Google it, which means what exactly, they'll be extra bone idle for that period the fucking parasitical cunts - I don't see how football gets restarted until several days after Brenda is buried. I mean, if it's disrespectful tomorrow why is it any less disrespectful any time between now and then? And as for the Ajax game the flag shaggers (© Dave Usher) are going to be stoked at the prospect of disrespect, and the Kop will be only too happy to oblige. What a mess.

I help manage my son's under 12s team, supposed to first game of the season tomorrow and vital was cancelled yesterday, needless to say the kids are gutted, as am I.
