SW game off - rearranged Tuesday 4 October

[Argylegames]

Horse racing is on this Sunday - St Ledger at Doncaster.

She would have wanted that for sure!

God help us, it's a day to show respect, no big deal for someone who served for 70 years, not really a good reason to bloody whinge about it for a week.

Enforced on the public by institutions. Quite apt.

Is it acceptable to 'whinge' about losing a shift at 24 hours' notice when every penny matters?

 

[Argyleloyal]

Bit of a strange decision, particularly when the funeral is rumoured to be taking place next Saturday, which means another weekend of fixtures will have to be postponed for that too.

I have seen Monday week the date of the funeral but obviously not confirmed

Whilst it is understandable for people to be frustrated at the games being postponed, some of the comments are a little unsavoury and close to the mark,

the matches are being postponed as a mark off respect, some shops have decided to close today , some theatre have cancelled performances.

irrespective of your personal thoughts please be mindful that some people will want to mourn/pay respects

I'm not sure how the football going ahead would prevent those people who want to mourn from mourning privately?
I'm not sure how the cancellation of a seemingly arbitrary range of entertainments (but not others) helps those people who want to mourn?
I have no desire to stop people mourning if they so wish.

 

[Green Flash]

Terrible decision - save the cancellations for day of funeral - the vast majority of football fans will be opposed to this

Absolutely the right decision in my view

Makes no sense…the horse racings been moved from Saturday to Sunday ..so what they’re saying is it’s disrespectful to continue with sport 2 days after the queen died , but completely respectable to continue 3 days after?

the whole country should come to a standstill the day of her funeral . The in between days should be unaffected..baffling decision

 

[Lancastergreen]

How awful it must be for those that go and watch football

Well there's plenty of other entertainment still going on for them to do instead.

I suspect a lot of them will end up in the pub bevvied up to the max tomorrow instead.

I’d laugh my head off if FGR went into administration, and I can’t say that about any other club.

Would be interested to know why you say this.
