He told the Daily Mirror: "Perhaps that's why the number of travelling fans is dwindling because people just can't do it."

Home fans are also being warned to check their travel arrangements before making their way to The Valley for the club's Boxing Day fixture against Arsenal.

Although there is a South Eastern Trains service running hourly between London Charing Cross and Slade Green, there is no Jubilee line in operation from December 26-30th.

This means North Greenwich underground station will be closed. However, a Sunday service will operate on the buses and the Docklands Light Railway will also be in operation.

Trains will run on the Blackheath/Woolwich and Bexleyheath lines, but there is no service at all at Dartford or via the Sidcup line.

In addition, only a semi-fast service is being provided, which means trains will not stop at Erith, Belvedere, Plumstead or Woolwich Dockyard on the Blackheath/Woolwich line, while trains will not stop at Barnehurst, Falconwood, Kidbrooke and New Cross either.

An extra train to both Charing Cross and Slade Green is being laid on after the match, however.
