Luton’s trip to Telford called off due to riots

A statement on the Bucks website this morning said: “Saturday’s eagerly anticipated Blue Square Bet Premier clash between AFC Telford Utd and Luton Town has been postponed after a request by the Gold Command of West Mercia Police.

“AFC Telford Utd, Luton Town and the Football Conference were left with little option but to agree with the request due to the unprecedented local and national circumstances.

“With the greatest sincerity, we apologise unreservedly for any inconvenience this has caused and we will issue an announcement as soon as we can with regards to the rearranged fixture and details regarding tickets purchased for the event.”
