Charlton v Ipswich Next Sat will be different time / day (Confirmed for 12.30pm on the 17th)

I’ve just reiterated to my wife that I don’t want the hearse driving slow when I snuff it 
I don’t want anyone to be inconvenienced by me during or after my life .
Prince Philip would prolly have chosen to not
have inconvenienced us all but someone else is making the decisions.
shame really

I find wanting to watch a funeral of a person you’ve never met quite peculiar.

Wanting to watch any funeral is peculiar. 

So a celebrity dies and now we're moving football games for the funeral and demanding a national shut down? Alrighty then.

Depending on the deceased.

Will have to be the Saturday as we are playing on the Tuesday. 

Don’t think this decision would have been taken if their were crowds in attendance IMO

What happened to the Prince's request for informality and no fuss ?

No crowds 

Oh and no flowers,  give money to charities.  Why do people ignore his requests ?

I think this is disrespectful. If you are asked not to give flowers then surely you don't.

Prince Philip is the consort of the Queen and not a celebrity. He served this country during the war and supported The Queen for over 70 years, working well into his 90s. I think he deserves a bit more respect, than is being shown by some on here

Everyone dies and has to have some kind of funeral. The timing of Prince Phillip's funeral will never please everyone, but I find it so disrespectful that people are moaning because they are being inconvenienced. 

Some people are forgetting that a much loved member of a family has died and the wishes of that family should be respected. 

I do respect anyone that’s died. However, I don’t know him, he’s not in my family, he never even knew I existed along with 99.9% of the rest of the country. So why we all gotta stop what we wanna do when his family are having a personal funeral? It’s all really strange.

You're not having to stop doing what you want to do though

Football has just been moved a few hours (maybe a day) as a mark of its respect to Prince Philip - If you want to do something else at that time then no one is stopping you.

Could understand everyone's frustration if the whole weekend been cancelled with teams having to play an extra midweek game, and so creating fixture congestion but at present it doesnt look to be the case so feels like something to get worked up over for the sake of it.

We havent even been given reasons as to why the Gillingham game got moved to 1pm or Peterborough game moved to 6:30pm and didnt get this sort of strop

I go to work all week, work late Friday and have my daughter all day Sunday, Saturday afternoon is when I (and countless others) can sit down and watch Charlton/football. Just crack on with life, we’ve all had enough of the last 12 months, I can completely understand people’s frustrations.

Thats fair... But we've had plenty of games moved to random KO's this season and given zero warning, on those occasions no one seemed to care

Some people get pissed off at it but TV rescheduling now goes hand in hand with football. The death of a 99 year old man having a funeral attended by his family and friends has no correlation to 22 blokes kicking a ball about.

Gillingham v Charlton wasnt moved for TV... We didnt get told why it was moved

Same with any game @ 7pm or the 6:30pm one against Peterborough...

Is there anything that we aren't invited/encouraged to get angry about these days?

Just to clarify, I’m not angry (I was about Masterchef), shit happens. I just find it quite confusing about the postponement of things that have nothing to do with a private funeral.

He isn't just any old 99 year old bloke and millions of people will want to watch his funeral and many of those will also be football fans. It's only one afternoon after all.

Same here. I am sorry he has died and respect his service to Queen and country. But I don't like people telling me how I should act and what I can't do. He was somebody I respect and may he rest in peace but I can't mourn him as I wasn't close to him. I didn't love him as members of his family loved him. I don't think others should expect me to.

With no crowds it’s hardly an issue so why not just play at say 7pm?

Or half past 3
