Virgin boss Branson wants cup final rethink

Virgin boss Richard Branson has asked the Football Association to “look again” at the timing of next month’s FA Cup final in the light of travel problems faced by Liverpool fans.

Major maintenance work means rail travel, of which Virgin are the main providers, is likely to be severely disrupted over the Bank Holiday weekend - with supporters travelling from the north-west to Wembley for a 5.15pm kick-off and back on May 5 expected to be affected.
