Fans of teams in the Championship, League One and League Two face the prospect of travel chaos on the first day of the new season after a train strike was announced.
Saturday, July 30 - the first day of the campaign for the vast majority of clubs - will see train drivers at eight rail companies up and down the country walk out in a dispute over pay.
A total of 5,500 staff at Arriva Rail London, Chiltern Railways, Greater Anglia, Great Western, Hull Trains, LNER, Southeastern and West Midlands Trains will strike after talks broke down over pay, with the rail union ASLEF seeking wages to keep pace with the rising cost of living.
