[Steer]

Ridiculous.

 

[CommanderComcast]

Appropriate.

Have they done this at the same time as the premier league, if not they’ve jumped the gun announcing it is in line with their intentions…

Stupid decision but hey ho… it’s what it is..,

Bonkers. How do fans apply for a refund on travel and accommodation?

 

[FatFrank]

Absolutely ridiculous. Out of a mark of respect, we'll ruin the weekend of hundreds of thousands of football fans.

Bonkers. How do fans apply for a refund on travel and accommodation?

You won’t be able to if it’s all non refundable, wonder how many millions will be lost because of this across the country

 

[JM14]

Just another example of how out of touch this all is with the average person

 

[Funky_Chicken]

Bonkers. How do fans apply for a refund on travel and accommodation?

Precisely - where is the respect for the fans ? None as usual. This will cost the four of us who’d booked accommodation in Blackpool the thick end of four hundred quid

 

[BoroMart]

rediculous decision, 100,000s of fans weekends ruined and money lost

I thought the government just said they could go ahead.

I thought the government just said they could go ahead.

They did. Yet the football authorities bottled it as usual

 

[Flood]

Should have been black armbands and a minutes silence. Feckin stupid decision.

 

[changingman]

I thought the government just said they could go ahead.

They did, the EPL and EFL have bottled it essentially.

Expected nothing less from the suits running the game. Too scared of any potential criticism for "not showing enough respect". Would have been a far bigger sign of respect to carry on IMO.

Minutes silence, black armbands. Could even play the chuffing national anthem for all I care. Shouldn't her life be celebrated? In most people's views she's done an incredible job, had an incredible life and (although I don't understand it myself) has undoubtedly been a source of some comfort/enjoyment to many. Dying at 96 is no tragedy.

But no, let's all be fooking miserable instead. I mean we probably could all do with a bit more misery in our lives. It has all been sunshine and roses the last few years after all

 

[TeaCider]

I thought the government just said they could go ahead.

They did, whilst strongly pressuring for organisations to cancel anyway.

Trying to take the heat off themselves and leave it on the PL and EFL.

 

[ThePrisoner]

Cost the economy tens of millions of pounds and deprive thousands of a day's wages. What a disgrace.

 

[DanBoro4499]

Pathetic.
