As a mark of respect to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, English football has united to postpone all football fixtures this weekend

At this time of national mourning, and following a statement from the Football Association, all weekend fixtures involving Whitstable Town senior and youth teams have been postponed, to be rearranged for later dates. Our Development Centres will also not be going ahead this Saturday and Sunday, the 10th and 11th of September.

The FA statement, 9th September:
Her Majesty the Queen was a long-standing Patron of The Football Association and has left a lasting and indelible legacy on our national game.

As a mark of respect, following the passing of Her Majesty the Queen, English football has united to postpone all football fixtures between 9-11 September.

The FA can confirm that all football fixtures across the Barclays Women’s Super League, Barclays Women’s Championship, the Vitality Women’s FA Cup, and the Isuzu FA Trophy, will be postponed this weekend.

We can also confirm that all football fixtures across the National League System [NLS], Steps 1-6, including the Vanarama National Leagues, the Women’s Football Pyramid [WFP], Tiers 3-7, and matches across grassroots football in England will be postponed.

The Premier League and the EFL have all confirmed that their fixtures this weekend will be rescheduled for a later date.

All flags at Wembley Stadium and St. George’s Park will continue to fly at half-mast over the weekend.

Our thoughts remain with our president, HRH The Duke of Cambridge, and the whole of the Royal Family during this time.

The chair, Debbie Hewitt MBE, paid tribute to HM Queen Elizabeth II on behalf of the FA:
