Totally agree. If they locked down the whole country this weekend, then I can understand cancelling the football, but if shops, cinemas etc are opening it seems unfair to postpone sport only.

If they locked down the whole country this weekend, then I can understand cancelling the football, but if shops, cinemas etc are opening it seems unfair to postpone sport only.I'm genuinely saddened by this news, but as far as I can tell everyone is at work today. Tomorrow, people will be on the High St shopping; pubs will be open, restaurants running as normal and people will be going to the movies. Why is it only football that has to make these grand gestures? Also, football bring communities together, so there would have been some really nice scenes tomorrow and people would have raised a glass.
It seems this benefits nobody, certainly those who have spent good money on non-refundable train and hotel bookings; or local businesses who will have stocked up on food and drink, some of which will now have to given away or thrown away because it won't last until October 1st. Doesn't make much sense tbh.
Who is telling them not to play them?
I am pretty sure the clubs themselves won't want to postpone.
Chap from the Times says this is the official guidance that has been provided this morning.Who is telling them not to play them?

Well im not a pretentious prick and no do gooder but I ve no problem with the game being postponed out of respect to the Monarchy.So if they are off it's going to be down to the EFL / FA being do-gooding pretentious pricks.
Respect your viewpoint, but I doubt that the millions, whilst mid-mourning, would be outraged that football is being played, as I'm sure it would not impact them.Well im not a pretentious prick and no do gooder but I ve no problem with the game being postponed out of respect to the Monarchy.
I think that you vastly under estimate the millions of people not only in the UK but world wide who will be in mourning.

In that case we'd be looking at the lowest attendances across the country.Well im not a pretentious prick and no do gooder but I ve no problem with the game being postponed out of respect to the Monarchy.

given they played on in 1936 and 1952Respect your viewpoint, but I doubt that the millions, whilst mid-mourning, would be outraged that football is being played, as I'm sure it would not impact them.

Based on that guidance it'd make no sense whatsoever to cancel.
Just like before the West Ham game last night where there was a rousing rendition of GSTQ after the minutes silence. And the Real Sociedad fans standing with their flags aloft whilst observing it impeccably.I'm genuinely saddened by this news, but as far as I can tell everyone is at work today.

The Premier League and EFL are due to decide at about lunchtime today but there are concerns that policing issues may affect games, while some clubs feel it is the right thing to do as a mark of respect.
OK so clubs are calling for them to be off, are they? Notice it says "some".
It's fucking insane.
If no guidance. Then EFL should foot the bills for travel and accommodation. As it's them making the decision.
