Cameron has said they might make the KO for the other London fixtures earlier

I heard a bit of a weird thing on Radio 5 about half an hour ago. The Spurs/Everton game is definitely off, other London PL games are likely to go ahead - and this is the weird bit - but maybe kicking off earlier! Not much notice if that proves to be the case

You can understand the thinking, get everyone off the streets and home before evenin bwhich is when the police might be needed elsewhere.

Yes, my immediate thinking is that seems a good compromise.

Shite for all the Villa making the trip, but as long as the trains are running early enough it makes sense.

You think?

I have booked a return train at 7:30 ish, meaning I would be on the London streets a lot longer than if it were to remain a 3pm KO

The majority though will be home fans.

Yes, it would be an inconvenience for some of us but it's pretty minor compared with what a lot of people have had to put up with.

I think its a great compromise, it also gives more time to have a few beers post game, which is all the better, on the river.

All FL games in London are to go ahead as planned.

I can't see a change for ours now. And Darren Bent will be fit for the match as well.

Travelling by train S Wales to Paddington and just when you thought it couldn't becomne more difficult the district and circle lines are closed between there and earls court !
Arrive in Paddington at 11.33 so any earlier kick off than 1, i dont think we will  make it..gutted

Let's hope it's good news by 6pm!

I know a cracking pub with a beer garden down there.  :)

Use the Metropolitan Line or get a Bus.
The No27 Bus from Paddington(Pread St) to Hammersmith Bus Station (25mins)and change to 190, 211, 295, 220 going down Fulham Palace Road..or walk from Hammersmith; about a mile.

Metropolitan line goes all way from Paddington to Hammersmith and then catch bus, walk, or get a Taxi.

Good luck.
