The Premier League has issued an apology after Nottingham Forest’s trip to Tottenham in less than two weeks was moved up by 24 hours.
Because of London Underground and train strikes, the fixture will now take place at 18:00 GMT on Sunday, April 7th.
The local authority’s Safety Advisory Group determined that the action made it impossible to provide the necessary level of safety for supporters.
The league “unreservedly” apologised.

Tottenham announced that only one of the stadium’s six stations will operate normally on April 8.
“All tickets will remain valid for the new date – we shall shortly be contacting all ticket holders to outline options if they are no longer able to attend,” the company added.
According to a Premier League statement, the move was made owing to circumstances outside the League’s control, including the decision to implement rail and tube strikes on Monday, April 8, and the resulting reduction in available transit options.
“This has resulted in the local authority’s Safety Advisory Group determining that it is not possible to stage the match with the required levels of safety for attending fans.”
