    TROTTERS CLASH GETS GO-AHEAD
    Posted on: Thu 11 Aug 2011

    QPR's opening day Premier League clash with Bolton Wanderers will go ahead as scheduled, the Premier League has confirmed.

    Saturday's fixture with the Trotters (kick-off 3pm) had been cast in doubt due to the widespread riots taking place across the country this week.

    However, after the consultation with the Metropolitan Police, the Premier League has confirmed that - much to the delight of the Club and no doubt all Rangers fans - the match will definitely go ahead.

    Following the news, R's gaffer Neil Warnock told www.qpr.co.uk: "I'm absolutely delighted - it would have been a major blow to have the game called off.

    "At times like this you have to have an outlet. The Premier League, without any shadow of a doubt, is the best league in the world.

    "It gives people something to look forward to. I know our fans can't wait for Saturday."

    The remaining nine Barclays Premier League fixtures are expected to go ahead as planned.

    Following on-going discussions with the Metropolitan Police, statutory authorities and clubs in London, The Premier League can confirm that, aside from the postponed Tottenham Hotspur v Everton match, all League games in the capital will go ahead as scheduled this weekend.

    The Premier League has worked closely with the authorities and London-based clubs throughout the recent civil unrest to ensure matches are staged in accordance with supporter safety.

    current information

    While all efforts were made to try and facilitate the Tottenham Hotspur v Everton match by the Metropolitan Police and the local authority, the situation on the Tottenham High Road proved too difficult to overcome.

    The Premier League would like to thank the Metropolitan Police and all the other relevant police forces for their efforts and on-going communication during this difficult time.

    Acting on current information from the authorities there is no reason to believe that matches outside of London will be affected at this time.
