The Football Supporters' Association (FSA) have questioned the decision to postpone professional football this weekend following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
The English Football League (EFL) confirmed on Friday that none of the fixtures scheduled for the current round would be going ahead to honour Her Majesty's death.
The schedule includes Reading FC 's Championship encounter with Watford at Vicarage Road which was due to take place at 3pm on Saturday afternoon.

The advice from the government stated there was 'no obligation' for sporting events to be cancelled, with decisions to cancel or postpone left at the discretion of organisations.
But in a statement, the FSA said it would have liked to have seen matches go ahead and for tributes to have been paid to Her Majesty, saying postponing fixtures represented a 'missed opportunity.'
"We believe football is at its finest when bringing people together at times of huge national significance - be those moments of joy or moments of mourning," the statement read. "Our view, which we shared with the football authorities, is that most supporters would have liked to go to games this weekend and pay their respect to the Queen alongside their fellow fans.
"Not everyone will agree, so there was no perfect decision for the football authorities, but many supporters will feel this was an opportunity missed for football to pay its own special tributes.
"As usual, the Football Supporters' Association will be collating advice about supporters' entitlements regarding expenses incurred relating to postponed games this weekend."
