Wolves v City

Ridiculous if that's to be the case, doubt the Queen would have wanted that.

Have heard no sporting events for 12 days following the passing of a monarch?

Was doing The Great North 5k tomorrow but just got an email to say it's been cancelled. Great North Run is in Sunday and they have said a decision will be made tomorrow. Not looking good for this weekend's football.

Yeah makes some sense as they reckon the state funeral is day 10 after the passing.
Think we're in for a period of national mourning.

 

[Timberwolf]

Reckon so, rail unions must be fuming.

Why?

Grouse shooting, fox hunting and badger baiting exempt thankfully.

Of course it’s traditional but you are too young to remember…10 days of national mourning with no sporting events so the proletariat can concentrate on mourning. You will have to work as usual so strikes are off. On day ten we will line the streets waving flags and crying.
