Spurs v Everton called off
Tottenham Hotspur's Barclays Premier League match at home to Everton has been postponed.
Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore has confirmed the fixture will not go ahead because the area around White Hart Lane is a crime scene called off in the wake of the London riots.
Civil unrest in and around Tottenham began last weekend and quickly spread to other areas of the capital and other major cities across England.
Scudamore confirmed the match at White Hart Lane would not be played but the Premier League has now confirmed that the other nine Barclays Premier League fixtures are set to go ahead as scheduled.
He said: "The very latest situation is that Tottenham and Everton has gone. The police have done a fantastic job, but it's been a crime scene all week and the council have not had enough time to do what they need.
"The Tottenham game is a real shame but we support the police in what they are doing. They want these games to go on as much as we do."
Virgin Trains have kindly agreed to refund fans in possession of match tickets who have already bought Virgin Train tickets.
A statement from the company read: "Due to the extenuating circumstances customers who have purchased train tickets may apply for a refund from the point of purchase on production of a valid match ticket."
