If RMT bods really had wanted to time the strike to coincide with an
England football match, then it would have been an away football match

seems particularly counter-productive as it will manage to raise the
ire of many more people apart from London commuters, as those watching
the match at home ('tis on ITV) will be well aware that it's the RMT's
actions that will have led to the stadium being half-empty - something
that never looks good on TV and will undoubtedly be referred to by
commentators and newspapers so football fans will know where the blame
lies.

But surely Brother Crow loves such opportunities to publicly demonstrate
his power?

Maybe. Doesn't help to win over the fellow football-supporting working
man and woman though, does it?
