Not a season where you can afford canceling games. Calendar already packed.
Is football cancelled for the next week? | Man United-Leeds & Chelsea-Liverpool postponed
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
Lots of people in one place becomes a very, very obvious target for bad things to happen.
The BBC have stopped live commentary on the Arsenal game.

If we don't get a week off work to mourn, why should footballers?
They'll move the games to summer if necessary.
I think you don’t know how fecking weird most of Britain is then. They vote Tory, after all. There’s currently thousands of people outside royal residencies and this is a Thursday night.
Imagine how it’ll be on a weekend
Honestly embarrassing for England if anything gets called off because of this.
This. Business as usual , maximum the weekend off.
Would say MP's will take a couple of weeks too but they have already taken a decade.
Wait, are you people actually serious? You think they're going to cancel the round?
Some of the most disrespectful and frankly sad comments I have read on this forum. Some of you lot are very small minded insignificant pathetic fools.
feck me so the next game is City away on the fecking 2nd of October?
They were cancelled when Diana died apparently. I think they might be although its very short notice
Excellent description of monarchy
Almost certainly, if not two rounds
If people want to mourn for no reason whatsoever they can choose not to watch the football.
Am I the only one who feels more gutted about football potentially being cancelled than the queen dying?
Utter insanity if that happens.
Next two weeks will defo be off. Amazed people still don't realise this.
Next weekend will probably be Charles coronation so it wouldn’t be a surprise at all
Do we get two weeks off then?
No.
Its definitely going to get cancelled.
As per the norm for many countries (including England) to do so out of respect to the deceased.

Unfortunately not.
No mate you are just normal.
No.

The European games have to go ahead. There isn't any alternative dates.
Are you serious?
It didn’t get cancelled when her dad King George died. But yeah it’ll be 10 days of mourning with no sporting events.
Meanwhile in Ireland...
Or any reason why the opponents would care/want to postpone
what is this, the fecking middle ages?!10 days.
I'm no monarchist but I do also have respect for tradition. I'm also bemused by the people pretending to be baffled as to why this is a big deal.

United were due to play Newcastle on the Sunday I think she passed away Saturday night / Sunday morning
Extended period of mourning? What does that even mean? Does everyone have to be sad for 10 days?
Ffs, that’ll be this weekend and next weekends game if it’s 10 days. Our next league game will be City away!
I didn’t even last 10 seconds. Forwarded to a few WhatsApp groups and I’m ok now.
Is the Royal family going to pay for my 2 x flights , 2 x accommodation and 2 x match tickets for Leeds game ?
Does this include countries who want rid of the monarchy? Are they forced to do this nonsenses?
