DDA 9,938 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hey i work on the London Underground as a track engineer and there is alot of talk about this actually happening so i thought i might just give you a heads up if you are travelling to Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day like myself!http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/latest/2011/12/20/london-clashes-may-be-put-back-115875-23648662/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 This could actually be good news for us, especially with our current thin squad, we'd be more likely to get the three points against Fullham if the match is postponed.

Liquidator 5,176 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 would it not be moved to the 27th like Arsenal's would be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleoftheshed 388 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yes probably. Think I'd prefer it on the the 27th anyway, might go back to a 3pm KO aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

middleoftheshed 388 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 There will still be some trains running on the tube and buses running a Sunday service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I doubt there will be enough tube trains to accommodate 42 000 fans. There probably will not be enough buses either and parking is hardly easy to come by around Stamford Bridge. At least Arsenal have a bit of sense and postpone their game.
