And everyone that is generally struggling to stay afloat right now that have now lost revenue/wages for a completely unnecessary cancellation (due to rescheduling, those people/businesses will likely not see the same revenue/wages when the matches are actually played; that’s ignoring the hardship of delayed income ahead of winter).Armchair fans think it’s the right decision.
Match going fans less so.
Gets even worse. The funeral is on the Monday after
Many more public figures, politicians, local government leaders and the like will be about in towns and cities up and down the country, and there will be events in big cities that will attract a lot of the public that are into that kind of thing.All what policing though? What are all the police needed for this weekend? Are they expecting 30 million outside Buck Pal? I genuinely can’t see why.
And as for commander in chief, I think the army will manage ;-)
Yes they are, cancelling the game is EXACTLY someone telling you you HAVE to mourn !!!Nobody is telling you to "mourn" if you don't want too.
Correct - the fear of the backlash. The fear that others cancel and they will look like the outlier. Its an inevitable chain reaction that no one had the balls to anticipate and stop.Too scared to go against the hysteria
Did you read my comment where I said "I have huge respect for the Queen"?The funeral hasn’t been announced.
You do realise the Queen has a higher approval rating with the working class?
Advantage, liverpool
Why your rant about middle class people?Did you read my comment where I said "I have huge respect for the Queen"?
I bet you working class match going fans would rather the game went ahead than be postponed.
It is also been speculated the funeral might be Saturday hence the decision..
The sovereign reigns but does not rule.I’m far from a Royalist but I think you have to except when the ruler of your nation dies, especially one who has ruled as long as the Queen, that grand gestures will be made
Quite glad we’re not playing tbh, had bad feeling
And work AHT, and workHopefully all other forms of leisure have to be cancelled too, for balance.
And shops. Total lockdown until the funeral.
The middle to upper class love this crap and they make the decisions unfortunatelyCorrect - the fear of the backlash. The fear that others cancel and they will look like the outlier. Its an inevitable chain reaction that no one had the balls to anticipate and stop.
I have a mate who runs a pub. Most Pubs are on there arse with energy bills. These decisions will realistically be the final nail for a number of pubs around the country.
Who mentioned the government? I’m blaming the PL who don’t give a toss about fans who’ve paid as they’ll still get the tv moneyThey’ve not.
The government have said it’s up to individuals and organisations to decide.
The Premier League have decided it.
Looks like other sports have gone ahead.
My guess would be 95% want games to go ahead.Be interesting to see a poll put up on the cancellation. Not sure how to do or if allowed. Would like to see how the forum feels about all of this.
Of course we are all sad re the queens death but should things be forced on people like this ?
