This day should be kept special for families, whether Christian people or not. This is a unique day, both in this country and across the world. By all means, have a full programme of fixtures on the Easter Monday, this used to be the case. For people who have to work at these games and their families they do not get a proper break. Also, I emailed the Championship about their recent tendency to play games on Good Friday afternoon, also wrong. West Ham Utd fan.

Its actually good for the health of society, even for unbelieving people who have no religious faith, that there are days in the year that are different and allow families to enjoy times together free of the pressures of commercial entertainment. Its good for the players and their families too - there are in fact Christians in their ranks!

I am myself an Aston Villa supporter and I feel disgusted that a match is being played, yet again, on a Christian holiday - causing Christian people inconvenience as they try to travel to church to celebrate this special day.

Surely you could keep these two days special and recognise that there are people in the UK that do not worship football. The Premier League would do well to show some thought for others, after all it's only two days!

]]> Sun, 5 Apr 2009 05:40:48 UTC 5233892 Mr Brian Miller [Signature #505] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/5233408?utm_medium=rss There is the local issues of limiting those who want to attend church during match times.
In addition there is the increasingly monotone pattern of life where all days become alike. This is often being driven by money making. In the present times it behoves us to keep Sundays special and the two high days of Christmas and Easter especially so. Some reflection on spiritual matters and indeed celebration will be a good tonic for all the nation.
