I don’t know if this means the funeral won’t take place next weekend now cause surely the PL wouldn’t moan about congestion and then bin two fixtures off in a week at that short notice.

Of course they would…

EFL Statement:

"Further to discussions on Friday morning it has been determined that all EFL fixtures from 9-10 September will be postponed as a mark of respect by the National Sport to the passing of HRH Queen Elizabeth II.

This is aligned with the approach that the Premier League and the FA will take with their competitions this weekend."

This just makes me even more determined to get rid of the royal family and turn this country into a republic. Absolute joke. If they didn't cancel the football when the last two monarchs passed away, why should it happen now? Zero precedent for this and all it does is mess the public around. It's entirely possible to show respect and mourn the Queen while letting football go on as scheduled.

Apparently the earliest possible date for the funeral is Monday 19th, although with her death being in Scotland, it could take place a day or two later:

I’d imagine they’ve done this to ‘protect their image’ and probably can’t be arsed to deal with the flag wavers and bulldog tattoo types ploughing in to their social media accounts claimin they’re unpatriotic…

Just play the games, have a minutes silence, the end…

I disagree about the republic bit as it's not the Royal Families fault that games are off but do agree they should be played especially in a time when for some this is the only highlight they may have to look forward to at the moment.

It’s a catch-22 for those types as they’d never miss a chance to sing the national anthem in public.
