United Supporters Offered Rome Refund

Again from the Times:

'Manchester United will allow supporters to pull out of going to the match away to AS Roma next month after a fan was killed during another weekend of football violence in Italy. United face Roma at the Olympic Stadium on December 12, eight months after the club's fans clashed with Italian police during their Champions League quarter-final, first-leg tie. United officials have agreed plans for a ticket amnesty. Supporters will be given a refund if they opt out of the trip and return their tickets before December 1. About 1,800 tickets have been sold.'

A United spokesman was quoted in the Guardian as saying, "We're aware of the situation and will look to monitor events over the coming weeks. We will also take advice from the Foreign Office, Uefa and Italian authorities."
