Looks like its an issue for some games? The London ones ?

Yeah Arsenal-PSV is off.

Looks like Chelsea-Liverpool will be postponed as well.

His point was about last weekend, not this one coming.

Logic told us that the police would be busier on the weekend next to the funeral.

Last weekend was simply the PL shitting the bed when told to make a quick decision.

Minutes silence and black arm bands recommended but not national anthem, which is probably wise.

why would that be wise? Most people can remember the words even the new one surely?

More likely to get disruption of a minutes silence? IE the scousers

If you want a scrap pick someone else

I think it would be very disrespectful to pick a scrap during a national period of mourning for our Head of State and Commander in Chief.

Have you no respect for our late monarch?

Can you imagine trying to get City fans to sing anything but the Edin Dzeko chant?

I get that but the authorities didn't put a timescale on the postponement and I heard the same? You wouldn't be surprised if several London games are cancelled this weekend coming would you? as clearly its an issue isn't it?

 

[blueparrot]

FA give the go ahead, just Mondays games to be cancelled.

Just need to get the idiots at the Premier League on board.

Think we'll be okay doubt any London game will, maybe not Brighton either.

Absolutely. The policing was always going to be an issue next weekend in London.

Brighton-Palace was already called off due to the train strikes, which funnily enough are no longer happening.

Surprised they didn't put it back on with 9/10 days notice.

 

[stonerblue]

Brighton cancelled due to the rail strike, which has now been cancelled itself.

They had a week's notice, you think they would put it back on, unless it is too close to London and they expect big trouble in Haywoods Heath?

Not much trouble there Corky
