The World Cup qualifier against Andorra is to go ahead with fans, if they can get to Wembley. The FA has just issued a statement:
"The FA can confirm that England's World Cup qualifier against Andorra will kick-off at 8.15pm on Wednesday night as planned."
"Chief Executive Ian Watmore said: “Ever since we were alerted to the planned industrial action, we have been working very hard to ensure that the match goes ahead and that as many supporters as possible can see the game. We can confirm that the game will not be played behind closed doors and every ticket purchased remains valid. The turnstiles will now open earlier at 5.45pm to ease the disruption."
“However, due to the planned industrial action, travelling to and from the game is going to be very difficult and we are disappointed that England supporters are being inconvenienced in this way.
“We recommend that supporters plan to travel to Wembley as early as possible and prepare for a disrupted journey. We are advised that no additional transport will be available on the evening and trains will not be stopping at Wembley overground station. The journey home will be particularly difficult and supporters should make their own arrangements and not rely on public transport.
“As a special measure, refunds will be made available to ticketholders who decide not to attend this game because of the tube strike.”
Details of the procedure for applying for refunds will be posted on TheFA.com in the days following the game. Please continue to visit TheFA.com and Transport for London’s tfl.gov.uk for regular updates.
The RMT is calling on its members from 7pm today for a 48 hour period to go on strike which will render around 80 per cent of London’s Underground service obsolete.

Somalia's transitional government has the right to request military help from its neighbors against armed militants, the African Union says, but Kenya is quick to reject the idea of sending troops and suggests the AU should spearhead such a move.
