Is football cancelled for the next week? | Man United-Leeds & Chelsea-Liverpool postponed
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
With all respect to situation I can't understand how Premier League is coming to this conclusion. Either all teams play or nobody. This is just stupidity on highest level.
They play Napoli and PSV every week
How many games are we expecting to clump into October?
How many games will we/English clubs have to squeeze in during the crunch time of the CL/EL?
Fun times ahead.

How about they cancel the league cup this year and fit the league games in then?
All other sporting fixtures went ahead - every sport apart from football. I'll be stunned if this comes out as the government's doing.
As someone has said before - stop talking absolute nonsense.
Put the dippers to shame. Who knew?
It now becomes really important we don't finish second in our EL group.
What absolute nonsense 
a week of live Utd games. Bring it on!Government incompetence and influence . They're scared something may happen.
Feck off
This is just making me resent these people even more
You'll be on the phone to the Samaritans when Maguire and Shaw are playing as central midfielders.
Again zero regards to the many supporters that forked out big cash towards accommodation and flights.
What's going to happen to the European Games? Default loses like Spurs last season?
I’m surprised how the Brentford vs Arsenal game is going ahead when that game is in London.
Not in the year that we will win it.
All the manc coppers will be working in Brentford
Probably because at the very least the resources required to police the Brentford arsenal game which will be considerably less than than our game vs Leeds, will still be in London once there finished and won't have to travel far.
Whereas having an awful lot of Riot/crowd control resources 200 miles away less than 24 hours away from what will be a huge event dosent make alot of sense, they need them there at the weekend so they can everyone briefed and ready.
Not fair for the clubs with games postponed, especially those in Europe. I’d be seeking compensation.
Is it not possible to hire private security for the man utd game or is that frowned upon?
Yeah London/ the south takes priority in this country be it football, distribution of wealth and resources, policing, transport infrastructure, sewage dumping and anything elseAll the manc coppers will be working in Brentford
Son of a cnut.
Cancelling a few games next weekend actually makes sense since they need extra policing for the events etc. The extremely stupid decision was cancelling the previous matchday for no good reason (just look at how rugby/cricket matches went in terms of having respectful moments re the queen passing).
I’m into the present. This nonsense currently applies to the present. There lies the difference.
The only thing I could think is isn't there a mounted police unit in Manchester, which are normally deployed at games of big rivals and for big crowd control and as there aren't many units they're all needed down in London. Also what about riot police are there units everywhere or are they quite specialised too?
But that doesn't explain Tottenham Vs Leicester still being on as surely that would be using met mounted branch?
Also why not call off games involving public transport as I expect the streets and public transport will be absolutely rammed without adding football fans to the mix
Very strange decision, wonder if people up thread are right that they are worried because it's a big rivalry so open to trouble? But then Liverpool Vs Chelsea, while a big game, I wouldn't say it's a massive derby rivalry?
If the London games were off and just the smaller/ more "remote" ones left I'd understand as surely every police personnel possible will be needed?

I’m surprised people even thought there wouldn’t be HUGE ramifications and massive changes to the Schedules in this country when the Queen died. It’s unprecedented the World over. I’m sure football and it’s fans will survive. It’s just Sod’s law really that it proceeded an international break.
2023 - Newcastle has the highest number of people in the country without hands. The new owners are struggling to pinpoint what’s gone wrong.
You know it’s a load of fecking nonsense when you find yourself in complete agreement with Samuel Luckhurst.
Unexpectedly?! I’m sorry, but if a 96 year old circling the drain is unexpected then quite frankly I don’t have much hope for the human race.
The FA can get to feck. Incompetent cnuts - the more I see them bending over brown nosing the royal family the more I feel the Super League was a good idea. The authorities in this country are a fecking joke.
Pull out of the World Cup. Ridiculous decisions all over.
Cheers already crying at the mere thought of it
Well we can certainly no longer say the Royals have no impact on the lives of everyday people.
The queen is absolutely and certainly not adored by most. There are people in your own country who despise monarchy and as the next generation comes in, it will be despised even more thankfully. She has my respect as a human being but certainly not as a queen. UK has gone bonkers with shutting shop for all this nonsense.
