Second semi final : Thu Sep 08, 2022 9:00 pm  

With the sad passing of the queen, the state funeral is likely to take place on Saturday 17th of September. The same day as the second semi final- are the arrangements for the semi now likely to change do we think?

According to latest news items, Monday 19th is the likely date.

Why does the country have to stop for a family who are protecting a nonce?

Re: Second semi final : Fri Sep 09, 2022 11:44 am  

the original plans were supposed to be 9 days after her passing. Tradition is 12 days of mourning, with three days after the funeral. They may have decided to change it from a weekend then. wish they would hurry up and announce whats happening - or not tommorrow.

Today is classed as D-0 because of the late announcement so the funeral is expected to be Monday 19th.

Correct decision from RL to carry on (not often I get to say that) really not getting the push from some to shut the country down haven't we had enough of that?

Sport is also a great income generator at a time when the country is struggling. Get the games on but be respectful and have minutes silences, black armbands etc
