BLUES fans are being urged to plan their journeys to the Wembley Stadium next weekend ahead of suspected travel disruption as a key tube line is part closed.
Southend United are preparing to face Oldham Athletic in the National League play-off-final at the Wembley on Sunday, June 1, after beating Forest Green Rovers 4-2 on penalties last night.
However, there will be no service on the Metropolitan line between Aldgate and Harrow-on-the-Hill all weekend from Friday, May 30, meaning Shrimpers planning on travelling to Wembley Park from London Liverpool Street will need to find alternative routes.
Amid the closure, here's some advice for fans planning on travelling to the final:
