Blackburn Rovers pre-season friendly with NEC Nijmegen scheduled for this afternoon has been cancelled.
The decision, taken by the police and the local authorities in Nijmegen, follows the advanced threat of violence between the two sets of supporters.
Both clubs wish to express their disappointment that such a decision has been necessary.
