To be honest i started out thinking it was the right call to postpone, but I've now completely changed my mind the more I've thought about it and listened to the arguments.
Think the PL and FA probably acted with best intentions this morning but they have misjudged the mood here.
Wonder if there is a possibility of this decision being reversed?

My little boy has just started football (and is loving it), and his training session tomorrow morning has been cancelled.
Meanwhile, I can go and play cricket in the afternoon. Look forward to explaining that one to him.

Had an email earlier from the organisers of the classic car show in Edenbridge that mine's booked into on Sunday to say it's still going ahead.1

Theatres remain open, both codes of rugby are still playing. The sport she patronised the most is only having two days off - racing re-commences on Sunday.
I just think this is such an unprecedented occurance, it needs to be marked accordingly.
Ive explained where I am regarding sporting events, and as far as Oxford Street is concerned I'd expect the big department stores up town to maybe dress windows in honour of the Queen, or something along those lines, but it's up to them.
I don't understand why pottering around the shops is deemed acceptable but attending a football match isn't.1 -

Now things have got really out of hand. I went to the charity shop to get some new underwear (well new for me at least). They are all closed!0

My missus and I start our NCT classes at the end of September- I kid you not I’ve just had an email saying despite the passing, the classes will continue to take place. Not that I expected them to be canceled, I just think this is a ott to even need to send an email out0

Athletico Charlton said:Assuming non league is on then I will be heading to watch Beckenham tomorrow. Wanted to anyway so our game being cancelled works out ok0

Royal mail and South Eastern crew of union rep ive got your back, decided to withdraw from schedualed strikes.
They are working because of the sad news. They did the right thing to withdraw from the strike!0 -
Why would anyone be offended by Barnsley v Port Vale?
Why is it respectful to cancel it?

I emailed the EFL regarding Tuesday and they sent a reply saying a decision hasn't been made.
I can see it all being called of for the next 2 weeks0 -
When I said earlier in this thread that I won’t be angry if it’s all called off, I lied. Golf, Cricket and rugby all resuming tomorrow. FA, plonkers.3

Still struggling to see how you can't differentiate between postponing sporting events and closing pubs and shops etc.
If a family experienced a loss but had a holiday booked for the following week, would it be understandable to you that the holiday was cancelled (or rearranged where possible), but they'd still go down the pub with friends or other relatives to have a chat about recent events?1 -

I reckon the FA, EFL and Premier League will be sitting there now feeling pretty embarrassed - especially after other sports have made it clear they’re continuing.
The scenes from those football matches would have been played around the world.8 -
