I understand that some people don't like the royals and us being a monachist state, however this is what our country is and so the people have to accept this decision.

We are not just talking about a 96 year woman, we are talking about The Queen!
Queen Elizabeth II, the longest living British monarch!

This is major news, front page news, not just here but in every country around the World! Flags are half mast in the USA for example and they even had a minute silence in last night's NFL game and the US Open.

All you have to do is look at the huge crowds who are out in London, Windsor and Balmoral. The people who have sent their condolences, world leaders, people who are well known and who are and have been top of their profession.
No other person in the world would have received that level of response from people, no one! and just wait until it's her funeral.

I know we all love watching City and football, and this is an inconvenience for some, but an event like the Queen dying is unprecedented and will take preference in this country, and rightly so, and like it or not, everyone has to live with it.

Why does the football fan, spectator or young kid playing, have to be inconvenienced and not other sport participants, are the theatres or cinemas or other activities inconvenienced?
The football authorities were happy to kowtow to this pampered family hoping it would get them an honor

Yes she lived to 96 came on the throne young, following her father's untimely death, that's not the achievement that it portrayed, afterall people who haven't lived a life of privilege and wealth born before her are still alive

The same people in the "huge crowds" who were only too happy to condemn the same family for the treatment of their "people's princess" It a XFactor culture we live in

It is a ridiculous decision. Cancelling kids playing sport is beyond belief. My sisters club is getting them all together anyway for a fun training session which is great. Why do they think cancelling football is showing respect to the queen? Showing respect to the queen is honoring a minutes silence and actually being nice to each other for a weekend. Thankfully my local cricket is on and I'll watch that instead.

It’s actually mad the amount of grown men in this thread moaning about a weekends football being cancelled. Is your life that dumbed down and devoid of anything else that a game being postponed affects you so much?

Yes it does.

City are way way more important to me than the Queen was. She has never Impacted my life directly. I don't book time off work to watch her galavanting around the commonwealth and I don't spend my hard earned cash on anything for her.

City on the other hand is quite the opposite.

Looking at the pubs last night which I went into and the city centre certainly wasn't a place of mass mourning. Everyone going about their lives as normal. And so should the footballing world.

The FA and the authorities have got this wrong. Stopping kids from having a game of football is madness.

Vague nonsense about respect?

One day you (or anyone) will want respect for your personal loss or grief, even from the people you don't like, we would all expect that.

I just think you can't expect respect if you can't give it.

A lot of people are actually mourning the loss, a day of no football doesn't cost anything but it does respect the occasion. As boring as it is .

It isn't just ONE day though...

Idiotic comment.

I do wonder when people those comments about us wanting football on are either retired or get paid regardless of working ir not.

Thankfully City are paying their matchday staff. But some workers are going to be out if pocket along with small companies providing the food etc.
