Re-arranged games will be mid-week - higher costs, lower crowds, lower revenue. My team will now have a 170 mile round trip on a Tuesday night.
FFS: No football this Saturday, 10th Sept 2022 'as a mark of respect'. But it's still OK to go to work.

There once was a Queen
But now she has been
And gone. And ruined my gig
The dead rich cunt.

Hope it's not a poetry gig.
Spoken word may be OK though

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?

tbf cricket is a lot closer to that than footie. Most of the counties are member-owned clubs and most county players get not much more than the average wage of a skilled industrial worker. Average county cricket wage is the same as the average train driver wage.
It's a poetry gig. And I'm not a mime artist.
I fucking hate the term 'spoken word'.

The cricket's fucked too
Trust me, I am such a tight-arsed git I would NEVER not turn up to a gig I'd already paid for.
Except that. The thought of staring at that all day turns my stomach. Will they do funny little graphics of her shouting "FOUR!" and "SIX!"?

Nah. But just a gut feeling. All other sports going ahead as usual as they don't have a Monarch as their head.
Rugby on so my weekend is saved. The boy will get to play something after all and the egg chasing is on tv too

But what if some of your players get called up? You'll no doubt be a bit less chipper when that happensGet down to non league. We are carrying on right through this lame duck World Cup!

I'm pleased the footie has been cancelled as I was due to be working with a really arrogant Utd supporter on a late shift Sunday and could have been really miserable.
If you want sport, there is the last 2 days of the Vuelta Saturday and Sunday.

I've nicked this from the Lincoln City forum I post on (not exactly a hotbed of radicalism), I think it pretty much nails it:
After some reflection they’re right. So glad we’ve got the time back now.
Finish work
Mourn Friday night
Wake up Saturday, 7 30am
Mourn till lunch
Eat cold beans because gas is too expensive
No football
Mourn till 10pm
Have a big mournful sleep
Wake up Sunday, read the Sunday papers full of mourning because this is the first Sunday without the Queen
Mourn whilst thinking that this is the first Sunday without the Queen
Still no football
Mourn for the rest of Sunday
Wake up Monday. Stop mourning now pleb, you've got work to do
Store up mourning till off work again next weekend when there's even less football because of funeral

Dont be scared
Why are you surprised. It's all bread and circuses. You don't get football for your entertainment. You get it for their peace of mind. Divide and conquer and all that.

Polo clubs, meanwhile, are resuming play on Saturday, despite the fact that 95% of players are probably close relatives of the queen.
After consultation with the polo community and following government guidance, we can confirm that the playing of polo during the National Mourning period can proceed at the discretion of clubs from Saturday 10 September following the decision to suspend polo today, 9 September, out of respect. We are aware that there may be clubs who wish to cancel or postpone any fixtures as a mark of respect, whilst others may choose to proceed. The HPA supports decisions taken by individual clubs to play.
We kindly ask clubs that all matches played during this period are preceded by a 1-minute silence and players and umpires are encouraged to wear a black armband and conduct themselves appropriately in respect for Her Majesty the Queen.

it's incredibly unfair, tbh.
yes, it's pathetic.
okay - i understand (though don't agree with them) that some people will be upset by her death. i get that some are royalists. but for ffs, sling a few arm bands on, have a two minute instead of one minute silence, etc. it is actually very authoritarian, and the irony is is that i don't think she would be saying to people like my dad "no you can't go an enjoy one of your last remaining pleasures" this saturday as you ahve to mope around or something for reasons or something.

as said, all the silly narratives of bravery, soliders, war, being couragous etc, that is embedded in the patriotic/monarchist narrative arc is a bit mute if we are all too fragile go to teh football on saturday because of an old person's death. jesus fucking christ.
