Fulham vs Tottenham DELAYED by 15 minutes due to travel chaos with thousands of fans struggling to get to match
FULHAM’S clash against Tottenham has been DELAYED by 15 minutes due to travel chaos.
The London derby is now set to get underway at 8.15pm.
Thousands of fans have been forced to find a new route to Craven Cottage after the District Line was suspended.
My London reports that this is due to signal failures.
Another two London Underground lines have been “shut down”.
The Circle and Hammersmith & City lines, as well as the Elizabeth line have also been completely suspended.
One fan said to Spurs‘ announcement on Twitter: “Bit late, on the Uber now cheers!”
Another replied: “Guess I’ll have to walk to the game then.”
While others have likened the District Line’s suspension to that of their inactivity in the transfer market.
Spurs advised supporters to check alternative routes, and have listed ways they can get to the stadium on their website.
