Manchester City will be paying any casual workers who were expecting to on shift for their postponed men's and women's games this weekend.
Pep Guardiola and his side were due to play Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening at the Etihad, while Gareth Taylor's women's team were set to get their Women's Super League campaign underway at the Academy Stadium on Sunday against Arsenal. Both fixtures were called off on Friday by the footballing authorities as a way of paying tribute to the Queen following her death on Thursday.
While the postponements were understandable in the circumstances, the decision has had consequences for the preparations that had already been made for those matches and the people that were expecting to be involved on the days.
