They’ll cancel midweek and next weekend as well surely?
Straight through to the international break.
The fact all her family is there means it’s close.
She’ll pass away before tomorrow morning.

Makes no sense for matches to be cancelled?
Like there could be millions of people up and down the country paying respects with minutes silence.
The country shouldn't grind to a hault

It just depends, if she passes away before Saturday there's no way there will be any sporting events. Iornically, the queen dying asap might stop my weekend being ruined for a change.

The country shouldn't grind to a hault I think a good proportion of the country would agree with this. William as chairman of the FA might advocate it as well. But it won’t happen.

People on Twitter suggesting it’s already happened.
BBC one schedule moved and the presenter wearing a black tie….

It’ll be sad when it happens, but it shouldn’t have to change anyone’s life other than close friends and family, same for anyone else. There will be plenty sat planning their social media posts, excited at all the potential likes and shares. How long have you had this post planned for? I’ve never said anything on here for likes, quotes or attention. The posters on here who desperately seek attention from people they don’t even know are worse than the Facebook/instagram lot, at least they’ve at least met the majority of folk that see their posts! Anyway, I digress. Please don’t ruin my Saturday your majesty, let Stoke and Luton do that instead!

It’s probably inevitable it’ll be postponed if of course the news is as serious as it sounds Might be wrong though Yes that’s very true mate and happened when Diana passed away Passed away on the Sunday morning and the following Saturday’s games postponed as her funeral was that day Took my kids to Alton Towers on the day of Di's funeral. Not as a celebration mind, just that everyone else was busy at home weeping over their televisions and we didn't have to queue for anything. That's a top tip for you if you're at a loose end this weekend.

They went ahead in 1952 when George VI died. But who knows this time? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/mar/16/what-happens-when-queen-elizabeth-dies-london-bridgeAfter the death of George VI in 1952, rugby and hockey fixtures were called off, while football matches went ahead. Fans sang Abide With Me and the national anthem before kick off. The National Theatre will close if the news breaks before 4pm, and stay open if not. All games, including golf, will be banned in the Royal Parks. (This is a fascinating article by the way - but very long!) Thanks for that Fuller. "The second Elizabethan age is likely to be remembered as a reign of uninterrupted national decline." Her last two pms Boris and Loopy liberal now hardline brexit Liz it all makes sense now. The latter part of the Elizabethan Age was also characterised by the emergence of the 'me, me, me/I want it now/Everything bad that happens is somebody else's fault/I have no personal responsibility for anything that happens to me/it's the job of the Government to protect me from the cradle to the grave' generation. The faults of Boris and Liz are as nothing compared to those of Starmer, McDonnell, Corbyn, Raynor, and their economically illiterate cohorts. It's always easier to criticise and carp when you are in Opposition and have responsibility for nothing.

Had similar suspicions myself. However as said earlier life goes on. A respectful two mins silence would seem ok to me. The country will be in mourning for a couple of weeks at least. I know for a fact that plans have been in place for some time. I respectfully hope that she pulls through but when the media start this type of coverage it does not bode well. A respectful 2 minutes ..... when do Liverpool play ?

Not sure how someone on Twitter would know the slightest thing re her current condition of course but talk about a way to get a like or thumbs up or whatever they crave.

When London Bridge falls, nearly the whole country will close down.
Even the TV will shut down apart from the News.

Why are they arriving by Jet, I got a phone call saying get up the hospital as soon as you can very recently, then sleeping on a wooden bench taking turns going in to see him and waiting for my dad to pass away.
Sorry but it’s a piss take all this Royal malarkey

Life goes on. More people are struggling with their own lives at the moment with bills etc than to be bogged down about the Queen dying. I never understood the idea of mourning etc...doesn't change anything. People standing outside a hospital holding a bloody candle because Michael Jackson or similar dies...why? What does holding a candle achieve? Her funeral will be on TV etc if you want to watch it. You can pay respect if you want and why not? Everything doesn't have to stop The whole Diana thing was embarrassing. People crying etc. A load of nonsense. Could say the same about anything. However you dice it, she's been the head of state for 70 years and, for a lot of people, a big presence in their lives. I'm not a royalist but I'm not going to decry anyone mourning her or being upset. I didn't know Stanley Matthews but when he died I was genuinely saddened and thankful that someone from our club and my dad's city had been known around the world and been an ambassador for us. That's why I took a day off work and went to his funeral. Like it or not, there are plenty of people who feel the same way or stronger about the queen or even Michael Jackson.

No chance there’s enough room in the calendar to postpone 3 match weeks, especially in the premier league as they don’t return from the World Cup until Boxing Day. This weekends will be postponed if she dies today or tomorrow I would imagine, even though they shouldn’t imo

I may be old fashioned but I do think the passing of our longest serving monarch is important to this country and alot of people in this country.
There is a time when many in the country will want to show respect and partake in some form of mourning. Or show their respect as many did when our own sir Stan and Gordon passed. The passing of Diana was a horrific shock and many many were touched and saddened by this event which was quite understandable at that time in history.
People are entitled to their opinion and entitled to mourn how they want but I am saddened to see some on here think a 2 minute silence is all that's needed for our Queens passing. I for one expect a time of national mourning...which may include a paid day off for some which I'm sure will be accepted by many!!
And I certainly wouldn't be upset if a mid table game of champonship.football is cancelled due to this national event unfolding. Football really ISNT more important than life or death to take words from Bill shankly
That's my opinion..tin hat on.
