A section of the Arsenal away support will not make the game at Burnley after their train was turned around and sent back to London after another train hit, and killed, a herd of cows.
It’s not yet clear how many fans have been affected.
Arsenal kick-off against Burnely at 4.30pm on Sunday.
It’s also not clear if the fans who have been affected were the ones carrying the new Arsene Wenger banner which was to get it’s first outing at today’s match.

Even by train standards this is a new one.
"A train has hit a herd of cows by Grantham. All the cows are…dead, as it were."

UPDATE:
The fans have now been put on a train to Leeds and could make the match after all:
On a train from Leeds to Burnley. Unless this one hits a cow, should be there. Maybe a few minutes late, but there…..
