The Football Supporters’ Association has called for fans left out of pocket by the postponement of matches after the Queen’s death to be treated sympathetically. Malcolm Clarke, chair of the FSA, has urged rail companies and the football authorities to ensure supporters due to travel to away games this weekend do not lose out as a result of the decision to suspend the programme as a mark of respect.
“There’s a big question there about refunds, advance train tickets that have been booked for away games and all of that,” he said. “We would certainly expect the rail industry and the football authorities to take a very sympathetic view of that. It’s not a good time to ask fans to spend money on things that don’t happen.”
