‘The change is due to issues beyond the League’s control, namely the decision to implement rail and tube strikes on Monday 8 April and the resulting reduction in available travel services.
“This has resulted in the local authority’s Safety Advisory Group determining that it is not possible to hold the match with the required levels of safety for fans in attendance.”
