    Ridiculous decision. People can choose not to attend if they wish but a minutes silence/applause, national anthem and black armbands would have been more fitting than a blanket cancellation.

    Not that I overly disagree with you, but what about if players didn’t want to play out of respect? Then what.

    Doesn't everyone still have to go to work? What difference should playing sport for a living make?

    None as far as I can see. A match that would have been televised as well. Will the replay be?

    Ask the BBC. Let them ****ers justify it to you (or not)

    Exactly Notts have lost revenue over this.

    One through tv and another being a Saturday game.

    Pubs will lose plenty too I'd guess with this probably shifted to a midweek.

    This somehow feels worse than when we were locked down.

    A pathetic decision, made simply because we have to be seen to do "what's right". The final classic of the season, The St Leger at Doncaster tomorrow has been cancelled. Ridiculously, it's now being run the following day!!! So someone has decided it would be disrespectful to hold it on Saturday, but perfectly fine to run it 24 hours later. Perhaps the media should tell us to the nearest minute exactly how long we have to grieve for.
