I’m not a monarchist but quite like Charlie, he seems pretty chipper at the moment !I would have liked the opportunity to pay my respects to the Queen and sing God Save The King with the majority of 54,000 other citizens/Cityzens.
Well I would have if I wasn’t abroad on holiday!

She was The Queen mate, who's been on the throne the past 70 years!Are you saying we should cancel the football every time someone's granny dies?
You may not like her or what she stood for, but millions do, so it is what it is.

I went to watch Toronto once in the MLS and there were beer sellers with it on their backs, serving you at your seat. Obviously I was like a kid in a sweet shop and drank far too much but, of course, was off to the bogs 3/4 times in the second half. Not a massive crowd so all was well but I’d imagine it’d get a bit annoying during a game, with everyone up and down every 5 minutes.I get soaked with beer more at the rugby than I do at gigs. But the worst thing is the constant moving to let people go to the bar for pint after pint.

Again, let’s not overreact. Bloody hell.With the blanket coverage, mournful music and hushed tones, no one allowed to comment on pretty much any news thread on the BBC, Guardian etc etc it feels like we are in North Korea.

The public should be given the choice as to whether they give up a weekend of football.She gave us 70 years.
The least the public can do is give up a weekend of football.
I don't think many can quite comprehend what a huge moment in time this is, irrespective of your own viewpoint.
It's bigger than any sport, stuff our great grandchildren will be reading about in school 100 years from now.
Certainly not did City fuck up again at home to Spurs this weekend.
People can and do comprehend it’s a big moment in our country’s history. You can still go to a football match when you are in mourning and recognise that fact.
It doesn’t seem to be bigger than any other sport. Maybe we overestimate how big football is.
People in 100 years time will learn about this little 10 day period for 10 minutes in a history lesson.
There will have been at least 2 more coronations by then.
Freedom of speech mate.Again, let’s not overreact. Bloody hell.

Me too.I’m not a monarchist but quite like Charlie, he seems pretty chipper at the moment !
It’s a shame that so many people still have a grudge against him because of Diana.

Decision to be taken next Saturday at 10am.…Has it actually been confirmed yet that next weekend’s fixtures will also be postponed, or is there still a chance they could go ahead?

Then they don’t have to go to the game do they.She was The Queen mate, who's been on the throne the past 70 years!
You may not like her or what she stood for, but millions do, so it is what it is.
Those who wish to mourn can and should, those that don’t should be able to carry on.
No other sport is cancelled.
I’m off to the theatre tonight , so why is only football cancelled.
That’s the irksome thing here is it feels that football has been singled out when nothing else is .
Tonight I can go and watch , we will rock you, do a bit of shopping before hand, have a meal and a few pints.
But it would be disrespectful to go to the game tomorrow??

It will be Monday. The plans were always for D+10 but that would be Sunday and they won’t do that. Interestingly, they think that, on the day, London will actually be ‘full’, for the first time.Not yet. I don’t think the day of the funeral has been set yet neither though.
If it is on the Monday, the games should go ahead at the weekend.

It can have the opposite effect. People will get pissed off at all of it. It’s only a day and I feel tired of it already. Hopefully sense will prevail and we can continue with life and still be respectful.With the blanket coverage, mournful music and hushed tones, no one allowed to comment on pretty much any news thread on the BBC, Guardian etc etc it feels like we are in North Korea.

As another poster mentioned, football has, rather sadly, singled itself out this time!Then they don’t have to go to the game do they.

But the QE2 is tinpot compared to the Titanic.Yes compared to QE2 they are tinpot.
He specifically said it’s not just some 96 year old but the longest reigning British monarch.Are you saying we should cancel the football every time someone's granny dies?
We need to edit the thread title and state “The PREMIER LEAGUE AND FA DECIDED TO CANCEL”Then they don’t have to go to the game do they.

The church are definitely saying this is Day 0 today.It will be Monday. The plans were always for D+10 but that would be Sunday and they won’t do that. Interestingly, they think that, on the day, London will actually be ‘full’, for the first time.
