Racing moved to Sunday for HRH Prince Philip's funeral.

[Sron Gorm]

The Scottish National meeting and Newbury racing have moved to Sunday instead of Saturday, there will be no racing between 2.45 and 4.15 on the day of the funeral, and other meetings will either finish earlier or start later.

Can see our game just getting put back slightly.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Possibly 5pm kick off?

 

[Blues and Royals]

Possibly 5pm kick off?

Clashes then with FA cup semi final.

 

[EddieEHitler]

Clashes then with FA cup semi final.

Won’t matter to Premier sports or Rangers fans

 

[PT98]

Clashes then with FA cup semi final.

Its going to have to clash with something now, whenever its played.

 

[Kingging]

Very little English football next Saturday. Could see a 7pm or noon kick off being on the cards

 

[Athletico Parsnips]

5pm would be ideal

 

[Albert Bridge Bear]

FA cup semi final clash shouldn’t really matter. Scottish cup and FA cup finals have clashed in the past.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Traditionally they were played on the same day

 

[PT98]

Are the English semi finals staying the Saturday?

 

[SSJack]

Our game will be midday the Sunday

 

[PT98]

Our game will be midday the Sunday

It might end up being the case but there is absolutely no reason it cant be played at 5pm on the Saturday.

 

[Blues and Royals]

Our game will be midday the Sunday

Distinct possibility.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

Moving it to Sunday would be a disaster for me.

Same. Backshift

The police won't agree to that for fear of booze fuelled aggression from fans

Shown on the BBC who didnt need to sell advertising to cover the price they had paid for the rights

 

[govanfront85]

Fingers crossed

 

[DelPiero]

I want it played on the Saturday, even it’s earlier on or later.

Cannot be arsed with it being moved to the Sunday.

Ano, can't be bothered with a hangover at work on the Monday.

1 is Saturday, 1 Sunday.

 

[Papac5]

Scottish FA will wait on what the English FA do and copy their decision

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

Is the rumours of Monday night kick off a load of nonsense?

 

[Yosser]

Do both teams need to agree a revised date and time or do the SFA just decide?

 

[vancy]

Is the rumours of Monday night kick off a load of nonsense?

We play on Wednesday

 

[vancy]

Our game will be midday the Sunday

Did RTV not say the time would be moved, indicating the game would still be Saturday?

Thought i heard that as well

hope the time changes and not the day

 

[PT98]

They did.

John Hartson also put some tweet on earlier which suggested it would still be the Saturday. Was kinda hard to make out what he was saying though.

Hardly surprising

 

[Dofek]

The commentator said it at the start of the game.

 

[DAMac]

Why move anything....doubt the late Duke now cares one way or another, he would have loathed all the fuss, not his style..at all, it's turning to the absurd. The thing is, most of the palaver is disingenuous. My dislike for media grows by the day, living as most of them do in an overpaid, privileged bubble, clueless to the lives and care less for Joe Bloggs.

 

[DAMac]

Seriously, what did Hartson ever say on football that mattered...? Another dunce earning a living talking utter merde.

What would you rather watch?

They did.

Someone showed me Hartsons tweet(I'm blocked off him ) it was along the lines of

"next Saturday Rangers v Celtic 4pm kick off change"

Clear as mud from that balloon. Is it a 4pm? Has it been changed?

Who knows judging by his post.

 

[Barca Bear]

Our game will be midday the Sunday

Do bbc have Scottish cup game Sunday noon..?

 

[rangeral]

Do bbc have Scottish cup game Sunday noon..?

Friday night - Forfar v Dundee United

Saturday lunchtime - Stranraer v Hibs

 

[jmac49]

I was backshift on Saturday . Got the day off so hopefully anytime Saturday please.

 

[Number Six]

They did.

I saw that tweet and it sounded like he was drunk

Im hoping it just moves a bit later on the Saturday! Sunday is a kick in the baws with work on Monday

Fixtures moved for Prince Philip funeral

The Premier League, EFL, Premiership Rugby, F1 and British Horseracing change schedules on Saturday to avoid clashing with Prince Philip's funeral.

www.bbc.co.uk

According to UK government guidance: "The decision as to whether sporting fixtures continue to go ahead is at the discretion of organisers. Organisers may wish to consider using black armbands and observing a silence before matches are played."

I think it’ll be moved to 5pm.

 

[CoopBlue]

Sunday please.

No need to play on the Saturday.

Saturday is the day of respect.

 

[CoopBlue]

No one should be bothering about what Premier Sports think.

They have about 4 subscribers ffs.

 

[Gardenhall Bear]

Getting ridiculous moving so much sport so it doesn't clash with a funeral that 99.9% of people don't really care about.

 

[The Underfaker]

I would say the outpouring of grief and affection shown at Windsor Castle says your “99.9 per cent” of people don’t really care is wildly wrong

 

[BajanBear]

Are there any times on Saturday or Sunday that it can't be played due to clash with other live games? The funeral will not last more than an hour so the argument for pushing it to a later ko on the Sat doesn't make much sense.

I don't think either club will mind if it's pushed to the Sunday so that's what I think will happen.

VERY disrespectful.

There is a painting of a lady in our dressing room.Its her husband that died so people at our club will care

 

[Hap Hapablap]

I just spoke with a Polis officer acquaintance and he is saying talk is it remains on the Saturday.
