Saturdays game cancelled [re. 10.09.22]

[countygump]

Might not be the last game this season to be cancelled for non-weather related issues if electricity rationing comes in. That has to be a very real prospect for places like Germany, Switzerland etc.

There was some talk of Early KO's (12am?) for L1,2 and the NL this winter as a leccy saver.

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.

Further to that, the British Hoseracing Authority has issued a statement saying "The BHA has announced Saturday's racing in Britain will be cancelled as a mark of respect following the death of the Queen."

This was followed by “The return of racing on Sunday will see the running of the Cazoo St Leger, and will also provide an opportunity for the sport and its supporters to pay its respects to Her Majesty."

Respect clearly operates on a very tight timeline.

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

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.

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 everything is about money!

You can’t argue with the anti-monarchists and left wing rabble.

It wasn’t the ‘left wing rabble’ who lied to her about proroguing Parliament or who partied while she buried her husband.

As a monarchist you must be furious at those people.

I think you've just made his head explode!

Following the sad death of Queen Elizabeth II, this weekend's fixture against Bromley has been postponed.

Tickets will be valid for the new date and, to avoid unecessary administrative burden at this time, it would be appreciated if refunds were not requested until the new date has been announced.

Those who booked hospitality for the fixture will be contacted and kept up to date.

Tuesday night's match will go ahead, allowing us to pay tribute to Her Majesty. Tickets and hospitality remain available to book.

Our club shop and ticket office will be open 9am-1pm on Saturday.

Nottingham Panthers are still playing after the 10 clubs themselves decided to proceed. This is how it should have been done in my opinion.

What a stupid decision. For many, many people, football is the highlight of the week. Why destroy people's ability to get together and do what they want?
