Latest news. All weekend matches now postponed as a mark of respect.

I don’t mean to be disrespectful, it’s a genuine question that you brits can maybe answer; why does the whole country have to stop its activities as a result of the Queen’s passing? Isn’t the upcoming PL round in fact a good opportunity to honour her?

I suppose Hughie it's just simply a matter of traditional respect, albeit an old fashioned thing which is passed down through generations.

I suppose some would do it this way but perhaps others would see life carrying on as normal with a reference of respect prior to the commencement of an event as a way of doing the respect thing in a more modern way..
