Wolves - Boxing Day

Post by arsenalmorris »

is it true there is meant to be a tube strike on this day

also if this is true, does the tube not run at all or does it just run infrequently,

can anyone advise a different route from Victoria tube station to the ground if the tube is not running

Theres normally tubes but apparently they may be on strike.
There is a ballot on wednesday to find out wether they are or not

Don't get your cock out on the bus mate, it's not Derby Day and you're not northern!

Its going to be a nightmare on Boxing Day. No trains in from Essex either so am expecting the car parks to get rammed early doors.

I decided I can't be asked with the aggro of the travel for this one, so am going to give a miss. :banghead:

I think a lot will give it a swerve and not just becuase of the tranport problem but also with it being during the festive period many will be with family. I've done so in years past when going away for Christmas.

Very true. Arsenal normally comes first, but sometimes you have to think about your family.

I still fully expect the club to move the kick off forward for this fixture. No Boxing Day fixtures in London over the past 5 or 6 seasons have kicked off later than 13:00 due to travel limitations on the city.

Got to be a possibility that the game is moved because of the tube strike.

Over in the UK for my 4 games a year...Villa, Wolves, QPR (and hopefully) Fulham.

As long as they don't change the day, I'll do whatever it takes to be there...bit of a walk from Kingsbury but still do'able :barscarf:
