Silvio Dante Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Just now, Bouncearoundtheground said: Will the game be cancelled Saturday? Depends. If she makes it through tomorrow then it won’t be called off even if she dies on Saturday am due to time to organise. If she’s gone by midday tomorrow though then I’d reckon it’s off. Either way, the palace don’t need to say things and don’t do typically. So for any kind of statement to come out indicates that this is hugely serious, and when you ally that with Charles and William travelling up, it doesn’t look good.

I remember when Diana died pretty sure all games on that sunday were cancelled. Even my Sunday morning game was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The football programme the following Saturday was binned, IIRC we were due to play Millwall (funny how you remember these things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather watch us play Preston. Not sure why matches need to be cancelled. Maybe thats just me Thoughts with her nonetheless 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think - whatever you think a hereditary monarchy - it would be absurd to have a hereditary monarchy and then arbitrarily change how it works just because the next person in line isn't particularly popular. The line of succession is clear and, under it, Charles should be next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUTOR Posted September 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 I automatically assumed so but having looked it up the answer is nobody actually knows what the plans have in store in that regard. Football went ahead after King George died in 1952, and although sporting fixtures were cancelled after Princess Dianna’s death measures were subsequently found to be far too extreme. The answer though is probably yes. I hope not. The show must go on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 I’m a little surprised that everyone is, apparently, hoping she’ll pull through. I would have hoped with a 96-year-old that most people would be hoping for a quick and painless death, if she is that poorly. No disrespect, but can we at least acknowledge that she is probably dying, rather than that awful euphemism ‘passing’. Death is an inevitability, and we shouldn’t be scared of acknowledging it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
