Liverpool are demanding the Football Association switch the FA Cup semi final clash with Manchester City away from Wembley.
Fans from both clubs face the nightmare of no trains from anywhere in the north west of England to London on the weekend of the cup tie, with extensive works set to be carried out on the West coast lines, by Network Rail.
It means almost 70,000 people will have to travel by road to the national stadium, and after talks with City and the FA, Liverpool have made a formal request for the game to be switched to another ground.
