RadioactiveWaste Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 But we're not getting a day off for mourning apparently. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Suspect the matches will still be played on Saturday, just at a different time. They must be planning to have the funeral in the afternoon, so will probably be evening kickoffs instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 No complaints from me. Prince Phillip’s passing is a pretty big deal from my point of view. I get others don’t agree but I think it would be bad form to have a business as usual approach while the head of the monarchy is laying her husband to rest. Wonder if the games will be played on Sunday ? ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they couldn’t say that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Sounds like the funeral is at 3, so they might actually move the games to lunchtime, rather than evening kick offs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one_chop Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Not to sound heartless or disrespectful but having to reschedule multiple events to accommodate a funeral is a bit of a faff. Wouldn't it be easier to reschedule the funeral?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
