Stratford Town FC, the football team of the 23-year-old, begs that its next scheduled game be postponed because his teammates are too unhappy to participate.
The nightclub where Cody Fisher was fatally murdered on Christmas Day has had its license canceled.
Mr. Fisher, age 23, was attacked inside the Crane nightclub in Digbeth, Birmingham, shortly before 11:45 p.m.
Birmingham City Council has suspended the club’s license awaiting a full hearing scheduled for the next four weeks.
The license holder’s attorneys did not fight the suspension and stated they would utilize the 28 days to “reflect and assist the authorities in their criminal investigation.”
West Midlands Police stated that there were “severe management deficiencies” at the venue following Mr. Fisher’s death.
Three individuals have been arrested for his murder.
The loss of the Stratford Town footballer is claimed to have devastated his teammates.
Jed McCrory, the club’s chairman, told that the club has requested the postponement of Monday’s scheduled away fixture at Bromsgrove Sporting.
He stated that the team was awaiting a ruling from the league “to validate the club’s grief.”
He added: “It is quite understandable that the players who were with Cody that night do not believe they can play football shortly.
“The players and club convened yesterday night and agreed that the first game in honor of Cody should take place during the next home game; hence, the players and staff are planning to host Kings Langley next Saturday.
“There will be a minute of applause before the game and another minute in the 23rd minute.
“The number 23 will be retired from the football club’s roster”
In addition, he disclosed that the club was planning a memorial game, with proceeds going to his family as well as the establishment of a charity.
“We will establish a Cody Fisher Community Fund in conjunction with our academy.
This fund will be used to help young adults obtain coaching licenses so they may coach children in schools, as Cody did.
