Prince William being president of the FA has probably played a part,yes we are in good league form so it's frustrating but will give us a bit more extra time on the training pitch.
Is football cancelled for the next week? | Man United-Leeds & Chelsea-Liverpool postponed
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
I bet the FA are massively regretting this now they see all other sport is continuing.
Did you mean Sports Minister or PM
Performative nonsense. Would absolutely love to hear their justification for cancelling kids football beyond the vague bollocks about patriotism and mourning.
Not all of it
Are the games just going to be postponed this weekend? Back to normal next weekend?
Good points you're making and this season is really different due to World Cup. I don't know, I can understand the decision but other outcome and games being played would be fine as well..
Well a lot of it, like the Test Match (which would probably be the second biggest sporting thing in this country after football) and Rugby League.
Think Union is off though mind you.
Highly doubt it. Resources will be stretched to their maximum with the amount of policing involved plus the travelling as well is just going to cause chaos as folk are going to be ascending towards London in all directions.
Yeah I am trying to see both sides of the story,especially with the World Cup going to cause extra fixture congestion.
Big fight called off as well
Great. Each city though will surely have enough police to cover games.
Rugby, Cricket and Golf all resuming tomorrow. Absoultely no reason why matches outside of London/Not involving London teams couldn't go ahead tomorrow
The cricket is in London. 28k attending.
Policing for that would be minmal compared to football though
Doubt it. Then it's the international break. So no Premier League football for 3 weeks. Next game for us won't be until 2nd October.
which is an utter waste of time given they have now lost two full days
DailyMail: 'My son is still awake and he's five': Parents tell how their young children have coped with the news that the Queen has died
For people wondering why junior football was also cancelled.

Yeah there is more sport carrying on than I thought,perhaps in hindsight sporting bodies should have come together a bit more.
Nah, they'll just reschedule the matches so clubs are playing every other day sometime near the end of the season.
knowing the FA they'll make them come home half way through the World Cup and then go back out again
I think tomorrow will be the 2nd day of the test, not the 3rd?
The rugby decision is mental. Cancelling tonight’s games at short notice just to then play them tomorrow, when loads of people now won’t be able to attend.

Starting to look like Football should have adopted this stance as well,not enough communication between sporting bodies.
I am assuming at one point they didn't expect to go ahead at all, so presumably the games were essentially cancelled this morning and then newly arranged for tomorrow given play is possible.
Good on the RFU. Sensible move.
Strange this I think in 1952 the situation was reversed, football on Rugby Union off.
That will be the derby! Might work in our favour as City are not the same without momentum!
Everything seems poorly coordinated.
Which is utterly unsurprising, of course.

Stupid decision to call off the footy this weekend.
None of that really answers why it's off, does it? Better off just saying "but policing" and leaving at that.
Hope they do the same for that tiger.
I doubt it tbh.
I can completely understand them calling off the football next weekend but this weekend is just ridiculous when you think pubs, restaurants, high street shops, cinemas will all be operating as normal.
The question is, as the patron of the FA, would she want football cancelled for 10 days? I think not.
Brainless
I don't get it. You're mourn someone by closing shop? Seems they want people to 'kneel' for the sake of it.
Yeah but don’t forget to go to work, no fun allowed though.
I'm pretty sure and normal young person would not give a feck.
Someone should tell that kid the queen didn’t know who he was, he doesn’t know her and her dying has no impact on his life. His parents must be mental
