Supporters face a fight to make it for the second half of the clash at the Theatre of Dreams, let alone for kick-off at 4pm.

There have been recommendations for fans to travel from Kings Cross to Leeds or Sheffield, then get the train from there to Manchester.

But passengers would not get to Leeds until at least 4pm barring no more further delays, leaving only a small glimmer of hope of watching their Premier League season opener.

You can expect a shortage of Hammers fans in the away end come kick-off.

There has so far been no word that the game will be delayed, leaving angry fans frustrated at missing such a key fixture.

Here are the best tweets from fans about the incident.
