The EFL has confirmed that its fixture programme, including the Blues' home game against Bristol Rovers, will restart from Tuesday.

As a mark of respect to Her Majesty The Queen, who died on Thursday, the EFL’s matches on Friday and Saturday were postponed, including Town’s home match against Cambridge United.

But it has now been confirmed that Tuesday’s matches, including the Pirates' visit to Portman Road, will go ahead as scheduled.

An EFL statement reads: “The EFL fixture programme will return as scheduled from Tuesday 13th September, with tributes to be paid to Her late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II at grounds around the country.

“A minute’s silence will be held before matches, with black armbands to be worn by participants, flags to be flown at half-mast and the national anthem to be played in stadiums.

“With a national policing plan now in operation, the league and clubs will continue to work with forces in respect of any challenges that may emerge regarding policing of specific fixtures.

“Consideration to individual circumstances will be made on a case-by-case basis, in line with standard match Safety Advisory Group (SAG) protocols.”

chepstowblue added 13:02 - Sep 12 I'm sure that I've seen Mr Bobbles message word for word on several other sites under a different pseudonym, and each person has passed it off as their own. It seems to be doing the rounds. And each one of those selfish and jealous people is trying to make it all about themselves. I'm not a Royalist, but I was still affected by the Queen's death. People cared about her passing. No one cares about you missing a game !!

IpswichT62OldBoy added 14:14 - Sep 12 The Bobble post seems to have been removed. I didn't see it but based on yesterdays offerings, and inferring content from the response to todays output, that is a jolly good thing.

bobble added 22:11 - Sep 12 i see that censorship and removal of people who speak their mind about the unelected monarchy is rife in the nation, just like russians/chinese , we our denied our freedom to state what we think in the UK....
