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?

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.

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!

I’m not a monarchist but quite like Charlie, he seems pretty chipper at the moment !

Are you saying we should cancel the football every time someone's granny dies?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Again, let’s not overreact. Bloody hell.

Has Squid Game been postponed?

Fair fucks to city

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.

The public should be given the choice as to whether they give up a weekend of football.

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.

Me too.
It’s a shame that so many people still have a grudge against him because of Diana.
