Spurs (H) - Postponed due to the passing of the Queen (pg67)

[Keith Moon]

Why couldn't she wait until the international break.

 

[Blue Smarties]

Confirmed as called off or "set to be called off"?

Confirmed. Annoyingly.

 

[youngbob]

Absolutely fucking bonkers decision.

Thousands of peoples' travel plans destroyed. No doubt they will be refused full refunds.
Food bank collections at Premier League games all around the country will no longer be happening.
Freelance workers and minimum wage stadium staff all lose a day's pay at the last minute.

Ordinary people getting fucked over. Again.

 

[chesterbells]

PL getting hammered for the decision from fans.

Rightly

 

[OB1]

Right decision but sorry for the fans travelling etc

It's not because every indication is that this is not what the Queen herself would have wanted.

It's a very poor decision.

Thousands of people would have been able to show their respect in a way they probably would not otherwise have been able to.

The practicalities are also absurd calling games off at this late stage and then having to rearrange them.

 

[City_Sean]

Right decision but sorry for the fans travelling etc

It's not the right decision. It's madness, people rely on football for income, pubs rely on match day supporters to keep afloat.

As I've said if people want to pay their respects they can, but ridiculous for people to be able to work but not have leisure.

 

[Eds]

Will have to be played next year as I don't think there are any midweek dates available until then.

 

[Barcon]

Confirmed. Annoyingly.

Cheers.

 

[christened at st marks]

Cancel the international break and play it then

 

[Plain Speaking]

Gives us a chance to get our injured defender's back
