Completely agree.Very silly decision. Let people mourn if they want, and let others enjoy their weekend if they want to. Forced mourning does no one any favours.

That’s because rugby fans have more class than football fans. They know they won’t have any trouble, unlike as pointed out above (Liverpool / Celtic etc)Crap decision. A perfect opportunity for football to show it's respects gone.
Rugby is going ahead as normal, by the way.

Correct decision imo.
So what.Crap decision. A perfect opportunity for football to show it's respects gone.

Agreed 100%. Let people pay tribute in the way they want to.It would have been a more fitting and meaningful tribute in my mind to have had grounds full of people across the country singing the national anthem and coming together as a country - she could have brought us all together one last time. Instead most will be sitting at home.
So what to?So what.
Disagree. Completely the correct decision.Crap decision. A perfect opportunity for football to show it's respects gone.

Get over it? People have already paid for travel and accommodation, and going to the football would have been respite for many after a working week compounded by the bad news of yesterday. People mourn in different ways, and some do it by keeping their minds occupied by trying to enjoy entertainment. Cancelling everything and leaving negative thoughts to fester isn't great in my book.It’s a game, I’m sure you’ll manage without it. Get over it for one weekend ffs.
So what to rugby going ahead. That is for them to decide. Football fraternity says a definite NO.So what to?
I don’t disagree with you. It’s just the numerous posts circulating on social media in the last 12 hours, the 1% will create the bigger headlines unfortunately. Don’t think they want to take the risk until after the funeral.Talk about stereotyping people....
99% of football fans would respect it. I certainly would and I am a staunch republican.
My stepdad died the morning of the Tranmere game in 2019. I went to that game after a long discussion with my mum who basically said it's what he would have wanted. It's how different people deal with things.Disappointing in my opinion. Life goes on after all.
My mum died last August but I went to the game the following day. Just saying…,,,
In addition, all the small/independent businesses who will have planned for events this weekend who will have wasted time and money on supplies/staff they will no longer need, especially during a time of high inflation and economic uncertainty.Get over it?

We must see different social media, I saw a few 'edgy takes' but can't imagine there would have been heckling at games. Anyway I don't feel strongly but can understand the desire for things not just to go on as normal.I don’t disagree with you.

Easy to say 'right decision' if you already have a comfortable life.
