Like someone said earlier, mourning should be voluntary. Those who didn't want to go to PL matches this weekend wouldn't have gone, not sure why the rest shouldn't. If it's about the police then fine, but it doesn't seem like it.
It's been reported that this weekends fixtures have nothing to do with the police. I also doubt you would have seen any empty seats this weekend if it went ahead.
Conversely would anyone who wants to mourn be seriously offended by the games going ahead with a mins silence/ applause and the national anthem being sung etc?
The reaction from journalists and high profile pundits to the suspension seems to be overwhelmingly on the side if it being a mistake, while the vast majority of fans seem to be annoyed.
Rugby is going on, Cricket is going on, Horse racing is going on, Cinema's are open, restaurants are open, people still have to go to work, the official guidance was very light touch especially with regards to this weekend. But the dinosaurs at the PL/FA decided that even kids and grassroots football had to be cancelled to properly show respect.
