OLDHAM Athletic's game at Boreham Wood, scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday, September 10), has been postponed as a mark of respect following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

No games in the National League, or other divisions and cup competitions, will take place this weekend.

A statement on Oldham's website reads: "As a mark of respect to HM Queen Elizabeth II, our league fixture at Boreham Wood on Saturday 10 September has been postponed.

"No games in the National League will take place this weekend, joining other divisions across the country in postponing their games.

"The National League have confirmed that it is their intention to play fixtures from Monday 12 September, meaning Tuesday’s game at Woking is due to go ahead.

"Details of the rearranged fixture at Meadow Park will be confirmed in due course."

A statement released by the National League reads: "Firstly, the National League sends sincere condolences of all Member Clubs on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to His Majesty King Charles III and the further Royal Family.

"Further to this morning’s statement by Debbie Hewitt, chair of The Football Association, all National League System, FA Trophy, and grassroots fixtures scheduled for this weekend will not take place as a mark of respect. The Queen was the FA’s patron, and Prince William is its President.

"At this moment National League fixtures will go ahead as planned from Monday 12 September onwards although we understand no sporting event of any kind will be permitted on the day of The Queen’s funeral.

"The decision to postpone this weekend’s fixtures is taken in line with guidance from the FA in consultation with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. The League fully supports this stance."
