The Football Supporters’ Association has said the postponing of all fixtures this weekend has missed the chance for the game to pay ‘special tributes’ to The Queen.
The game’s authorities have today (September 9) decreed that all matches including Luton’s Championship trip to Stoke, from the Premier League down to grassroots level, will not go ahead after the death of The Queen.
While other sports, like cricket rugby union and even the Great North Run will continue this weekend to pay their tributes, football fans are left without matches to watch.
In a statement, the Football Supporters’ Association said: ‘We believe football is at its finest when bringing people together at times of huge national significance – be those moments of joy or moments of mourning.
‘Our view, which we shared with the football authorities, is that most supporters would have liked to go to games this weekend and pay their respect to the Queen alongside their fellow fans.
‘Not everyone will agree, so there was no perfect decision for the football authorities, but many supporters will feel this was an opportunity missed for football to pay its own special tributes.
‘As usual, the Football Supporters’ Association will be collating advice about supporters’ entitlements regarding expenses incurred relating to postponed games this weekend.’
EFL reads things wrong again!

Totally agree. It’s a decision I’m really against and yet more proof the EFL and FA are out of touch. Cricket is back tomorrow, same with rugby and golf. Horses are back Sunday and that was the thing The Queen liked. Yet even kids football is off tomorrow (not Sunday’s rugby). The BBC has even managed to put normal programming on BBC2 tonight.
Football being on wouldn’t have stopped anyone who wanted to, mourning. And it wouldn’t have prevented anyone from paying their respects. And who knows? Maybe for some who are upset, it would have provided a nice pick me up?
I couldn’t agree more.
The minute’s silence, the black armbands and the playing of the national anthem, which have been announced for our fixture v Coventry on Wednesday, were what I – and, I’m sure, many other supporters – expected might be put in place on Saturday at Stoke. This would have been much more appropriate than the total shutdown ordered by the football authorities.
