Fixtures Calendar - 2022/23

[BringBackSwales]

Date hasn’t been confirmed yet, apparently later this evening

Ah, I thought I’d read it was Monday week and a bank holiday, is that just a rumour then? Also rumours of difficulty playing games in London next weekend Sat and Sun due to coppers needed for the funeral, but surely they Could get round that IF the funeral is on the Monday?

It’s definitely a bank holiday but the actual date hasn’t yet been confirmed. Although Monday 19th seems to be the definite favourite

Don't think it's a new thing. Remember hearing songs about Bobby sands at Arsenal away amongst others years ago, and the worst I've come across is probably people aged 50ish, including one when we played Celtic away who started slating me and calling me IRA cos I said I wasn't that fussed about England games and I didn't like Rangers. Found it quite funny at the time tbh winding him up but there's a lot of anti Irish amongst the support. Remember getting shouted down on here once years ago over it. I'll shut up now though as I'm sure it will be seen as de-railing the thread or whatever.

Back to the fixtures I hope Wolves away can go ahead, does anyone know when we hear?

Not sure if it's an official message but I read that football authorities have requested that no more games be postponed because of the possible chaos.

Agreed must be 'johnny come latelys' i thought anyway. Manchester is blessed with a third of population with Irish roots. Johnny Marr and Billy Duffy to name but two...

It's the Monday mate:

Certainly seems favourite but no official confirmation yet.

Schools and shops set to shut as day of Queen's funeral declared a bank holiday

The announcement means that on the day of the Queen's funeral, schools, most businesses and most shops will close.

After reading through this thread, I am shocked at how many supporters refuse to sing the national anthem.

A national anthem should relate to the nation, not to one privileged individual. This has always been my beef with it. I'm proud to be British but the anthem does nothing to inspire me.

If the restricted fly zone is until 0700 on the 19th as that shows it would suggest the funeral is the 18th?

I expect it will be the 19th but that certainly doesnt prove it.

I don't believe in God, I don't believe we should have a king, and I certainly don't believe one grants the power to reign over me, so I certainly won't be singing a song that proclaims it.

Therein lies our differences! As I say I'm surprised how many have this opinion.
