Brighton v Crystal Palace postponed due to rail strike

Due to a planned rail strike, the game between Crystal Palace and the Seagulls has been delayed.

The fixture was "regrettably postponed" after being requested by the Seagulls.

There will be no public transportation available for supporters because of the rail network action.

There is still no new date for the game.

While we fully appreciate this will be of huge disappointment to both sets of fans, and causes disruption to both teams' fixture schedules as well as those of supporters, our matchday staff, players and officials must be safe."

We took into account how difficult it would be for fans of both clubs to attend the match without access to the rail network.

Additional travel options or moving the match to earlier or later in the same week, with Sunday afternoon the latest the fixture could be played on that weekend due to the international break, were included.

It was not possible to play the match in front of a large crowd.
