A grassroots football club chairman told Shelagh Fogarty he can't "imagine the late Queen or current King would have wished for kids to be banished from the playing field for a weekend".
Reflecting the personal impact for his football club he said: “They have had such a turbulent time with the pandemic… and I think actually why keep them off the football field?” “As coaches we play a pastoral part [by creating a] relationship with the players and being with their friends can be a support for them.He concluded, saying: “I can't imagine the late Queen or current King would have wished for kids to be banished from the playing field for a weekend, I don’t see the logic for that.”
