Crystal Palace and Leeds United fans travelling to the Premier League fixture at Selhurst Park next month may be affected by upcoming planned rail strikes.
The Eagles welcome Jesse Marsch's side to Selhurst Park on Sunday, October 9 in a 2pm kick-off. But with the National Union of Rail, Maritime, and Transport Workers (RMT) announcing on Thursday afternoon that '40,000 RMT members from Network Rail and 15 train operating companies will take to picket lines' the day before, it could have an impact on fans' travel.
A statement released from the RMT press office on Thursday read: "RAIL UNION RMT has announced that railway workers will walk out across the country on October 8 in the ongoing fight over jobs, pay, and working conditions. Over 40,000 RMT members from Network Rail and 15 train operating companies will take to picket lines, effectively shutting down the railway network."
