We won't be playing Bournemouth As for what happens in between that'll be down to the Gvt and the media. Individual bodies will be told its up to them but the frenzy of handwringing will dictate there'll be no outriders. Cancel 9 days. So what’s every fucker doing on their 9 days off to mourn? Far to long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 The thing is if the Premier League go ahead and the EFL doesn’t, the Premier League look like bad guys. The EFL have already started their way on their path by postponing tonight’s games. Team who are due to play tonight would be upset if tomorrows games are allowed to go ahead. At that point you then have to question if tonight’s games should be played over the weekend. In reality the first domino has already fell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I genuinely cannot believe they are looking to cancel this weekend's games man. I'm so confused I mean ... is everything else going to be closed down too? Or every other public event? Shopping as well? Why specifically sporting events? I mean, the funeral isn't even this weekend. Anyone understand the thinking behind it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Pinkman Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I think there is a 99% chance this is called off unfortunately Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a Bank Holiday bone thrown at the plebs but the top and bottom of it is mental gymnastics for the masses. Bless the old girl. Even in death she's being used.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Funeral is next Monday so we’d only lose one MNF. Belta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure what the expectation is? Life is fucking miserable enough at the moment without expecting people to forego all leisure activity to sit in front of BBC News for the next week and a half.

Surprisingly sensible guidance, I hope the PL and EFL take note. Crack on, minutes silence, black armbands, all that - and just move the MNF game. Easy.

Not like we’re getting ten days off work either. Man, that is so weird. What does that even mean?! When the people closest to us pass, most of the time we're expected to push through it, and we're grateful for anything that can take our mind off it for a few hours. For the most part the woman lived a comfortable life to a good age. It was not a tragic passing by any means, compared to Princess Diana's for example, which was so shocking at the time. Now we can't even just kick back this weekend, unwind and enjoy one of our favourite pastimes after a working week. It's like they're trying to force us to be as miserable as possible about it. Very very strange this whole thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 It’s already been said but I don’t think the timing would be too bad for us if this game is called off. We’re desperately missing Bruno, ASM and Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRaspberryJam Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Good point from .com, actually: There's speculation that policing resources required for the three scheduled PL games in the capital on Sunday including ours may not be available.
