Sport in the UK this month

[Grassmarket 3,625]

I’d be very surprised if any sports take place in the UK much before next weekend, or if Brits competing abroad do not withdraw. Will post news here.

Tonights UEFA games go ahead - in fact, some were already in the middle of the action.

 

No cricket tomorrow.

I suspect nothing from tomorrow through the weekend and maybe all domestic stuff next week as well. Only thing i see happening are the Champions League / Europa League games next Tuesday-Thursday.

Ugh.

 

I get they'd start with a minute of silence or something, but cancelling the entire thing? Anyway I'd be surprised if Brits all over the world in all kinds of sports would suddenly withdraw. What are they gonna do instead, make a photo so they can show on Instagram how affected they are?

I think Sunday's stage on the Isle of Wight was scheduled to feature one the Royal Palaces so....the stage in Scotland on Monday actually went through the village of Balmoral where the Queen died.

Right, cancelling that Isle of Wight stage makes sense then. And thinking better, cancelling it just because of the death seems like something one might doubt about, but obviously it's especially because of logistical reasons: think police personell and such which will have understandably different tasks from now on for a while.

I guess the main problem might be concerning the police not being up to capacity because they are necessary elsewhere?
