Strike action is now entirely in the hands of the 1,800 players who meet this week in London Tuesday, in Birmingham on Wednesday, and In Manchester on Thursday.

Jimmy Hill, chairman of the PFA will address all three meetings before the votes are taken.

He will advise members not to accept the ap- peasement plan put forward by the Lengue chairman on Saturday. Further developments could be either a strike or a drastic series of demonstrations depending on how the players vote this week. If there is a strike, all 92 League teams will be out of action and the football pools will be in a state of chaos.--AFP.
