Fulham. Banana skin?

I work in London, the tubes were nigh on unusable last week mate. Huge queues getting onto stations that were open.

Just about to say the same thing! RAWK poster is talking bollocks, though not sure we should expect any less.....

Clapham takes 75,000 passengers a day apparently. I'd hazard that no more than 2,000 of the crowd will be going south of Wandsworth after the game and most of them will be Reds. It should cope outside of the rush hour traffic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clapham_Junction_railway_station

Each day about 2,000 trains, most stopping, pass through the station, more than through any other station in Europe.[7] At peak times 180 trains per hour pass through of which 117 stop. It is not the busiest station by number of passengers, most of whom (about 430,000 on a weekday, of which 135,000 are at rush hours) pass through. Interchanges make some 40% of the activity and on that basis too it is the busiest station in the UK.[8]

I'm trying to see this one from all sides (club, workers etc) but when it comes down to it it's madness. The game shouldn't be in any doubt. This wave of strikes was announced on Jan 10. Fulham have had a month to come up with a contingency but only put out a statement today.

No way can we allow this to be called off the club must act fast here.

I had to work from home last week as the Piccadilly line was closed in the central areas. Side effect of that was that buses were extremely busy and people got on their cars more, making it extremely difficult to travel by car as well. I know someone who took two hours to travel from South Harrow to Ruislip, which is at most 4/5 miles apart.

Very grey area, imo. Looks like they AREN'T trying every available avenue to get the game to go ahead, and so a forfeit might be applicable - but someone better versed in legal language and contract law could shed better light. There certainly seems to be enough options on the table to get the game to be played such that if Fulham themselves won't play it, but Liverpool will, then there could be grounds for a forfeiture?

I saw a man slip on a banana skin on O'Connell Street, Dublin (just outside Penney's) about 18 years ago.

True story.

All these excuses about it being a tough to reach area, and the met police civilian strikes - The club have not said any of those are an issue. it's just that some of their 300 stewards might struggle to make it to the match. if that's the only risk they've assessed in their application to their local council, then i think its safe to say its easily solvable. taxi, bus, piggy back - no ****ing excuse for these soft c*nts.


Even next week would be alright for us, the date when they want it played (between Cardiff and Spurs) is a complete joke.
