English Defence League postpones Blackpool march (UK)

The English Defence League has agreed to rearrange a planned march in Blackpool following a request from police.

Lancashire Police had been concerned the march would clash with Blackpool's Premier League match against Bolton Wanderers on 14 May.

An EDL spokesman said: "The EDL are only to happy to facilitate this request with the local police."

However the match might be rearranged if Bolton make the FA Cup Final.

An EDL march through Blackburn earlier in the month cost police £500,000, the Lancashire Police Authority said.

A Lancashire Police spokesman said the force would not be releasing any details about the meeting until next week.
