London - The Football Association, police and Brent Council met on Tuesday to determine whether, with a strike planned by workers on London Underground, fans can be allowed to attend England's World Cup qualifier against Andorra on Wednesday.

Capacity for the game has already been cut from 90,000 to 70,000, but with the main route away from the stadium - the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines from Wembley Park station - potentially out of action, it could be that Brent council, who have responsibility for the Wembley area, find it impossible to issue a safety certificate.

"The FA and Wembley are closely monitoring the situation and will convey any subsequent implications for England's World Cup qualifier against Andorra as soon as anything is confirmed by the authorities," the FA said in a statement.

Reimbursing fans for tickets already bought would cost the FA around 1.75 million pounds (2.8million dollars).

Talks to avert the strike are ongoing.(dpa)
