What a joke! Based on antiquated rules last used in the 1950s.


Nope, they didn't cancel the football when King George died so there's zero precedent for it happening now. It's an abject decision from the PL and EFL - Govt guidance said they didn't need to cancel, rugby, golf and cricket are all due to go ahead from tomorrow, so why on earth have they called all the football off, causing unnecessary disappointment and inconvenience to millions in a time of national sorrow? Is fun and enjoyment in this country totally banned until 7 days after the funeral?

King George VI died on Wednesday February 6th 1952, and 3 days later on the Saturday a full set of fixtures took place.
His funeral was on Friday 15th and another full set of fixtures were played the following day.
So there is no precedent or tradition for postponements to happen based on 'antiquated rules'.

Understand that everyone will have different opinions on this. But it doesn’t sit right with me that people carry on working as normal, shops, cinemas, theme parks etc remain open. Yet football has to stop, I don’t understand the justification. A minute’s silence and black armbands would’ve been a better way of showing respect, in my opinion.

A period of national mourning followed George VI's death. Rugby and hockey games were postponed, though football matches continued with the singing of the national anthem and the hymn "Abide With Me" before each game

Makes the decision look even worse then, pathetic… let’s all stay in and be miserable, I’m sure that’s what she’d of wanted 🤯

Even the first round of the FA Trophy has been postponed ffs.

Far more sensible stance (imho) taken by parkrun

Watch every other sport except football…me think me thinks the footballing authorities shot their bolt prematurely thinking other sports would stop and they haven’t…
