Around 100 travellers bowl up two days before England's World Cup semi-final

Around 100 travellers have bowled up next to Edgbaston Cricket Ground - just 48 HOURS before England's World Cup semi-final match against Australia.

More than 30 caravans towed by a fleet of luxury cars and 4x4s descended on Calthorpe Park, in Birmingham, last week with more arriving on Monday.

One councillor has accused town hall chiefs of failing to protect the park from travellers because it is in a predominantly "Asian area".
