Government advice for next weekend's football matches is poised to remain the same and thus gives the English Football League (EFL) chance to stage games.
Games across the football pyramid this weekend were called off including in the Premier League and EFL as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. However, other sports such as both codes of rugby, cricket and horse racing are continuing to varying degrees with various tributes taking place.
The game's authorities have come under fire for cancelling matches even as far as down to grassrooots level. Football has been the only sport in the UK to be postponed on a widespread level and other aspects of entertainment have continued.
