Due to the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral. As are all other 3pm games next Saturday.
It didnt affect the matches when the queen mothers funeral was held on a saturday although i think they pushed the grand national back for it and they never moved it back again, i remember it always used to be on ag half time.
No big deal for one week.....Fancy choosing saturday 3pm for the funeral, obviously not a football fan who decided that. You'd have thought Prince William President of the FA would have avoided such an avoidable clash. 1100 would make more sense. just be ko time change, I presume
Yes it is. It's deliberately inconveniencing millions of people. Many of whom couldn't care less.No big deal for one week.....
What if the players, managers, staff want to watch the funeral, should they be denied??Yes it is. It's deliberately inconveniencing millions of people. Many of whom couldn't care less.
In this wonderful Christian nation we played at 3pm on Good Friday, and have done for a number of years now.
Respecting occasions is no longer an excuse not to have a football match.
If you have to choose not to watch because you want to be at the funeral then that's a choice you should make. It shouldn't be made for you. Much like the utterly baffling decision to have BBC4 displaying a message all day yesterday whilst showing the content on the red button - it's just inconveniencing people for obsequiousness.
Apologies, it was moved for Charles and Camillas wedding in 2005 rather than the queen mothers funeralThe Queen Mother's funeral was on a Tuesday.
They can watch it on catch up.What if the players, managers, staff want to watch the funeral, should they be denied??
It is for me And the funeral.Hope it's during the night when we're all asleep.
What if they want to watch any of the other thousands of funerals taking place every day, should we move the games to accommodate this too?What if the players, managers, staff want to watch the funeral, should they be denied??
Does that mean everyone else at work that Saturday afternoon can take the day off then?What if the players, managers, staff want to watch the funeral, should they be denied??
