Guy from the DCMS on Talksport right now suggesting that the “strong advice” from the government is that this weekend’s fixtures and any on the day of the funeral are postponed, with “latitude given” regarding those in midweek.

Sporting bodies do not have to abide by that advice, but the government’s recommendation is for “a period of intense mourning”.

DCMS?

Are they Trevor Sinclair’s initials?

Is ‘Trevor’ just a nickname?

If that’s the government’s advice then they’re not reading the room. Ben Stokes has just tweeted that the Queen was a massive sports fan and it would be an honour to play in her memory.

It's a pity that Nadine Dorries is no longer the minister there. You can only imagine some of the half-drunk whacky nonsense she would have come up with. Sorry, soon to be 'Lady Dorries'.

Suspending the day of the funeral makes a bit more sense, todays not any kind of official day and tickets have already been purchased. Doesnt seem in the queens 'stiff upper lip' image to just scrap everything for 2 weeks

I think the EFL should sit tight for a bit and wait and see what happens with tomorrow's St Leger at Doncaster. The Queen was a huge horse racing fan and I doubt she would be happy if it was cancelled as a result of her death. If the St Leger goes ahead then there's no reason for the EFL to postpone a whole round of fixtures.
