It’s changing three divisions worth of fixtures which is likely to disrupt the plans of the clubs and their employees whilst also creating difficulties for fans to see the game.
There are also no nasty, disrespectful or angry comments. Just frustration based upon being coerced to mourn instead of using free time to enjoy watching the stags or whatever other team people support.
Bear in mind that clubs have spent much of the season playing with players missing with COVID, because there is no room in the calendar to re-arrange fixtures.
It’s a farce

I agree with this 100%

Some people work or plan other commitments on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. For years I have organised my time to be able to watch the Stags at 3pm on a Saturday, as have many others.
Retail and hospitality is also now reopened which means other family members might also be returning to work too, which also restricts people from watching at other times.
33 football league matches are being rearranged. That’s a lot of fans, players and staff being put out.
There are 168 hours in the week, why ever they have chosen 3pm on a Saturday to have the funeral is beyond me. It is the time when millions of people watch English football.
It would have been better at 10am in a Sunday morning.

We now have a pair of idiots.
What don't they get that the option to watch will still be there, whether it be Friday night or just a few hours earlier Saturday dinner time!!!!!!

An idiot for having a different opinion. Lovely.

We played Doncaster Rovers at home on the Friday night in a 1-1 draw in front of a crowd of 2,874. Trevor Christie scored.
Is that right Pete?

It is, therefore, only to be expected that the funeral would be at a peak time. Particularly when there was such pageantry over Princess Diana who was not even a Royal. It would be completely naive to expect anything else.
I do, cynically, subscribe to the belief that the decision is as much a business decision by EFL as marking protocol.
As a Republican, I would happily do without the monarchy but the largest opinion poll finding in favour of a republic was 22% last year with 65% of the respondents wanted the monarchy to continue.
So protocol dictates it should happen and public opinion seems to back it.
