Crystal Palace

Inter Milan have decided to call off their match against Crystal Palace after the recent terrorist bombings in London.

They had planned a four-game UK tour which included a game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park this Wednesday, but they thought it would be too dangerous.

The official Crystal Palace website says: "Every effort is being made to find new opposition for the night. Supporters are advised to retain their tickets and to check the clubs official website for the latest information."

Meanwhile sports minister Richard Caborn is making a last-ditch bid to convince Inter Milan to tour England next week.

"At the moment, we are assuming it's off but we are doing the best to get the match on," he told a BBC radio programme.
