:.......wrecking a lot of possible Fellaini 5 for 0s......

[FUBU05]

Does anyone know teh outcome of this ballot yet? been looking on the internet but cannot find any news yet.

[Striker]

Perhaps someone should whisper to Cameron that the outcome of the vote could depend whether the guy in charge of the count has Arsenal players in his fantasy team.

Personally I don't think it should affect the football. Most other games go ahead with very little transport, especially long distance.

"while AFC Wimbledon are not expecting any impact to their League Two match against Northampton Town, as the nearest stations to their Kingsmeadow home are mainline"

But the Mainline never works on Boxing Day so you drive instead

Have done it for years so what is the difference with no tubes !!!

Fulham (v Southampton) and QPR (v WBA) are other London clubs with home matches that day so maybe an issue for them too.

QPR have confirmed that their game is on despite the strike, Fulham are still to make an official announcement,but they gave positive indications that the game will go on.

Fulham and QPR are easily accessible for their fans by either Car or Bus

Ars v WH postponed to end-Jan 2013.

From Arsenal FC:

"As a result of Monday’s strike ballot and the proposed industrial action on London Underground on Boxing Day, Arsenal’s Premier League match against West Ham United at Emirates Stadium, originally planned for Wednesday 26th December, has been postponed.

This decision has been made now, due to the preparation period needed to safely operate Emirates Stadium by all the relevant agencies.

The Club liaised closely with all the relevant agencies, including the Metropolitan Police, Transport for London, London Underground, The Premier League, West Ham United FC and Islington Council, in order to reach this decision.

The paramount concern was always the duty of care towards the Arsenal supporters, West Ham United supporters, Matchday employees and workers and indeed everyone who was planning to attend the match on Boxing Day.

In addition to the proposed industrial action on London Underground on Boxing Day, there are extremely limited services operating on National Rail train services into London on this day. Also, normal parking restrictions close to the stadium still apply. This would have caused severe disruption, or at worst, inability for supporters or Matchday employees and workers to get to Emirates Stadium.

We apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused supporters but we feel that the right decision has been made.

Tickets already purchased for this match are still valid for the rearranged date, which is yet to be confirmed.

However, the Club can confirm that this rearranged fixture will be played on either Wednesday 23rd January (kick off 7.45pm) or Saturday 26th January (kick off 3pm). The date of the fixture will be determined by the results in the FA Cup Third Round, which is being played on the weekend of Saturday 5th January and Sunday 6th January."
