The weekend sporting fixtures

All the upcoming sporting fixtures should carry on as normal, with a two minute silence, and perhaps a black armband worn by players and officials. Those who feel that fixtures should be cancelled are free to decide not to attend a match should feel it appropriate.

As someone said on another post, other elements of life will carry on as normal. TV and radio programmes will continue, people will socialise, eat out, take trips, etc. etc.

We will have plenty of time to pay our respects to the Queen up to and on the day of her funeral.

The word I am hearing now is that the individuals clubs themselves will decide if they play or not.

Liverpool most definitely will be then....

They won’t, deal with it

Like it or not, some things are just much bigger and much more important than your own shallow and fairly ignorant agenda

I’m glad that people who hold your kind of views and feel that this is some kind of inconvenience are in minority

They aren’t in the minority at all.

Don't think it will be individual clubs, more a discussion between clubs and the league and a collective decision.

Most of the people on social media wanting cancellations dont even watch football

Yet to meet a single fan that wants games off

There's a difference between wanting and understanding though.

The government has already recommended that all major sporting events tomorrow should be cancelled.

Expect an announcement from the FA later today.

Maybe put the country back in lock down while they're at it?
