Fulham. Banana skin?

[Roboklopp]

There's already been some tedious explanation of that Shaggy. I ignored it in favour of righteous anger.

[Roboklopp]

It's representative if the general demographic not all individuals.

[Fierce]

How come Fulham played Sheff Utd at home while the strike was on? They weren't arsed then. Cunts.

Righteous anger is more exciting, but it's because the strike started at 9.30pm on the night of that game, and it will be in full flow at the time of ours

Aye I know - they've still got to get home. So how come?

Strike started at 21:00 on that day, so they were guaranteed to have all their staff there. Strike starts today at the same time, so we play our game in the middle of it.

They should provide transport for their staff, but that's around 2000 of them.

Already written off this game being played. Just have to settle for watching the Mancs get whacked by Arsenal instead.

Yes I know ...but all those staff, as well as supporters, still have to get home. If they're claiming staff can't get there because of no tube, then by the same token they can't be expected to get home. But they did. It was okay then, so it should be okay now.

So for fans on here travelling if the game should go ahead. I've taken a screen shot of my National Rail app, hope it helps. Basically it's Euston - Willsden Junction - West Brompton avoiding tubes. 15:47 from Lime Street gives you an hour to walk the 1.5 miles from station to ground

[Shaggy]

Isn't Fulham the closest ground in the Prem to an overground station?

We all know why they want it called off. Seems to me there's no legitimate reason for it to be called off. Hopefully the PL does the right thing.

Or could go to Putney station which is closer?

Can we all just agree that Bob Crow is a cunt?

Or Boris the bumbling buffoon Johnson for that matter.

[Shaggy]

And what's with London's panic over a tube strike? They have the best public transport network in the country. Have Fulham not heard of buses, overground trains and taxis? Will be an absolute farce if it's called off because of this.

When the tube doesn't run, more strain is put on Taxis and buses and they normally can't ****ing cope.

Well that's a separate debate.

It's because the tube makes up like 33% of that network and even at full capacity is creaking under the strain. There's what, 12m people in London? Take a third of the capacity out of the system and you're pretty ****ed with those volumes.
