Queens Park Rangers vs. West Bromwich Albion start delayed

Today's Premier League encounter between Queens Park Rangers and West Bromwich Albion has been delayed by 15 minutes.

The delay is due to the coach taking the West Brom players to Loftus Road being caught in traffic for around 45 minutes, which meant that they did not arrive at the ground until 2.05pm.

Manager Steve Clarke consulted with the match referee from the bus on the phone and reached an agreement for the encounter not to start a 3pm - giving his side extra time to prepare.

A lot of the traffic has been credited to shoppers at the nearby Westfield Shopping Centre.
