“Please note, this is purely a precautionary measure that has been taken on the advice of club medical staff.”
Full refunds for those who have already booked stadium tours are now available, although the club warn that the ticket office is currently inundated with requests for tickets for the FA Cup quarter-final against Arsenal and advise fans to wait until next week onwards before requesting refunds.
