Brighton Away

[spursfast]

RMT have just confirmed a rail strike on Saturday 8th October. Given that Brighton v Palace was postponed due to a previous rail strike, do we now expect this one to be postponed/moved as well?

This is from Brighton's official statement after the Palace match was postponed:

"The decision follows exceptional circumstances relating to the planned industrial action on the rail network, with authorities unable to sanction the fixture to be played with no public transport available for supporters.

"The Premier League has consulted with both clubs, police, the SAG for Brighton & Hove City Council and other relevant authorities in exploring alternative plans but all have agreed there was no other option but to postpone the fixture."

it was aslef that went on strike, this is not the case this time round

Thameslink did run from London to Brighton during the last strike, but it's the Brighton to Falmer train that's the problem - as that is the easiest way to get from the city centre to the stadium.
