TheBigDog Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Following the death of the queen, the government has announced a period of ten days official mourning. It is highly likely that the National League will postpone this weekend’s games. We will know later this morning. I sincerely hope that Sport can continue as normal after the weekend. May she rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it’s sad of course, I must admit that I don’t see the need for life to stop for such an extended period. It’s nothing to do with the queen per se, it’s the convention of 10 days of mourning for the head of state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchierich Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I honestly think matches should go ahead on Saturday, respect can be made in many ways and thousand of people coming together is a good thing imho…as I said on the other thread; why not have the national anthem before every game?

Personal opinion I'd drop the National anthem after a period of grace. A rousing instrumental one as footballers only mumble words anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Football should go ahead without a doubt. Many ways to pay respect and if football gets cancelled most lads will just go pub anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might appreciate the time, but they could not go to the game if the game was on. Sad when anyone dies but strange for some sports etc. to be stopped for it.

The players and officials at all sports need their time to grieve, 2 days should do it, bit of a break then another day of grieving at the funeral.
