WEST HAM'S transport problems have certainly not been abated by the news that their home games against Spurs and Liverpool in the first two months of the season have been chosen for live TV coverage by ESPN.
The clash with Tottenham at Upton Park has been moved to Sunday August 23 with a 1.30pm kick-off, but as with the original date, engineering works on the day means that Upton Park station will be closed and there will be no trains on the District and Hammersmith & City lines.
There is a similar story for the Liverpool game, which will still be played on Saturday, September 19, but will now kick-off at 5.15pm for live coverage on ESPN.
Once again, there are no trains to Upton Park that day.
There are two other matches scheduled for live coverage, with West Ham's trip to Eastlands to play Craig Bellamy and his Manchester City team-mates pencilled in for Monday, September 28 with an 8pm kick off. Again this will be on ESPN.
The only SKY TV game that West Ham will appear in before the end of November, takes place at Upton Park on Sunday, October 25 when Arsenal are the visitors for a 4.15pm kick off.
