Chelsea-Liverpool, United-Leeds, Brighton-Palace all off, rest of the games on (pg 128)

Not even the Nations League?

FFS forgot about that, that's the 14th-18th June.

Push that back as well.

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

Booing the national anthem wouldn’t do much for national unity and will just perpetuate division.

Why don’t then if games in London have those fixture reversed!?

Or do what EUFA are doing with Rangers and just ban away support with the same rule when fixtures are reversed. All games could then go ahead and everyone is in the same boat.

Ignoring tribal rivalry for a moment. Rags v Leeds is no longer about local fans travelling 40 miles. Many fans will have booked time off work, trains and hotels, coach companies refused other bookings because a supporters club booked them months ago, all will be left out of pocket and yet, none of the aforementioned have a scooby what will happen in 6 days time. That is not right. Yes we might laugh its the rags, it's Leeds, but it is wrong.
Can a) no one make a decision and b) when it's made compensate the fans, you, the PL. make fucking millions. Stop treating us like shite.

All joking aside about where a sizeable chunk of United’s support comes from, I take it this is because GMP officers are going to be deployed in London for the funeral?

 

[meeesh]

Wish they'd put an announcement out ffs

I absolutely get that this is a football forum and as such all events will be seen through that lens. But some of the stuff posted about all this would be better suited to RAWK. The funeral on Sunday is going to be the biggest event in this country ever. Every head of state in the world will be there, it is a huge terrorist risk, and that’s before you factor in the many millions of grief tourists and Londoners attending. As a policing operation it is unparalleled in the history of the UK and they’ve got one week. Yet people seem to expect the playing or not of certain football matches to be the priority. I am genuinely sorry for people who get inconvenienced or frustrated at a lack of news, but some perspective is needed.

What about the Queen’s funeral on Monday? I reckon that’ll be even bigger. ;-)

You are totally right. Fucking good job I’m not organising it isn’t it.
