It won't be to everyone's satisfaction but in the circumstances the right thing to do.

Im pretty sure they can still do a training session if they want to keep active.

Re: All Matches Off
Obviously it's not an instruction but it shows how stupid this is.
"You absolutely will not do this thing you enjoy, you will do something else you enjoy instead." Nobody is now going to mourn the queen because they can't play/watch football.

I'm sure that the Royal Family, the Premier League & EFL will be dipping into their pockets to reimburse all the travel and accommodation costs fans have already incurred.
Re: All Matches Off
So why are plenty of other sports taking place this weekend including the great North run?
Re: All Matches Off
Its not about everyone going somewhere to mourn, it’s about football taking a breath and having a moment of respect (yes a moment, it’s one weekend) for someone who has dedicated their life to the country. Some may choose to mourn, others may not.quoonbeatz wrote: ↑Fri Sep 09, 2022 12:23 pmObviously it's not an instruction but it shows how stupid this is.

All other sports seem to be stopping any events today but restarting tomorrow. So why does football have to be different?

Re: All Matches Off
At times like this it becomes embarrassing, and depressing, being a Burnley fan. There’s no football for a short period so deal with it. All your manking and moaning won’t change anything, so suck it up and quit whining.

Re: All Matches Off
It is what it is. Train tickets may well be carried over once a plan has been worked out. Those losing income from the postponed matches will get it back when the games are played. The big picture suggests that showing respect to our longest serving Monarch is more important than a bloody football match.

Re: All Matches Off
Football doesn't need a breath, it's not a living thing. Fully in agreement with your last sentence. Fully disagree that we should tell people how they shluld go about either.
They could have played every game with a minutes silence before them this weekend and I would bet that very few people would have seen that as a bad thing. If anything, it would be 100 times more respectful.

Is that what they do when the season finishes and we have no games for 3 months ? We are missing 1 maybe 2 games which will be replayed at a later date it isn't like we will never play again. I had paid for my train tickets for tonight and was looking forward to a few beers this afternoon before the match, I would also prefer the game to go ahead. I can understand why it isn't and will just do something else with my time instead.

Course, I was on about my kids first grassroots game of the new season which they have all been looking forward to
And, its very hard to reschedule kids games because finding somewhere with lights and getting players, parents and coaches to a midweek rearranged fixture in a league that stretches from Ambleside to Garstang is going to be tough
Re: All Matches Off
I have to agree, however I feel it's better to try and rise above this pettiness by not giving any opportunity to these people to throw even more disrespect towards our late Queen.
I'm astounded by the selfishness of some of the posters on this message board.

Can you imagine the scenes of a one minutes silence at Anfield btw? Only takes that to blow up (good chance, given their history) and the rest of the days more positive scenes are swept aside.

You are ?
When horse racing and cricket were called off, not a mention. Suddenly something happens which changes their plans and the selfishness gushes out. Had we been away to Norwich tomorrow at 3pm and not on TV I wonder just how many of those who are outraged would have been going seen as football seems very high up on the list of importance.
As it is we were at home and on tv so naturally for some nothing should change that.
