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.
Haha, days seem to merge into each other at the moment though.You are totally right. Fucking good job I’m not organising it isn’t it.
Because they are on Sunday and most of the police available will be making their way to London...its pretty obviousWhy the Fook is it the 2 Red Fookers games that off....
Lots of good points. Like you say bring them all forward to Friday and Saturday and screen them all live for free. So those who can’t juggle their diaries can at least see their team. As a one off I doubt anyone would complain.It's a simple case of on or off,like I have said previously on here recently,calling off last weekends was a disgrace,but would understand them to be off this weekend,especially capital games.
But the funeral isn't till Monday morning,so if the games get the go ahead, play them all Saturday,and bring the Sunday games forward,they dither with decisions,and it's the best league in the world ?
Run by morons
That's what the scousers want?Booing the national anthem wouldn’t do much for national unity and will just perpetuate division.

They don't have enough cops to police GMP ffs ;-)All joking 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?
