Millwall fans in the family way.

Millwall fans attending the Boleyn Ground for the with West Ham game have been given the upper tier of the Trevor Brooking stand on Police advice.

The Met Police - in conjunction with West Ham United and the Safety Advisory Board - have decreed that away fans be given the upper tier - usually reserved for family seating - for the match on Saturday, 4th February.

Those supporters who have season tickets in the Trevor Brooking Stand upper tier will be moved to alternative locations, to be confirmed.

However West Ham United have confirmed that the Boleyn Ground will have a reduced capacity for the day - suggesting some areas of the lower tier of the Trevor Brooking Stand, directly underneath the away fans may be closed.

Tickets for the game go on sale to Academy members from 10th January. General sale tickets - should there be any - will be sold to supporters with a previous purchase history only.

The last time West Ham met Millwall in Upton Park back in 2009 a number of minor skirmishes between opposing fans broke out around the ground - due in part to the Metropolitan Police's inability to provide sufficient numbers on the night.

A number of West Ham supporters were also pictured running onto the field of play to celebrate Junior Stanislas' late equaliser - a situation that led to the media falsely accusing West Ham supporters of conducting running battles with Millwall fans on the pitch.

Police figures released later confirmed there had been only a combined TEN ARRESTS from both sets of fans on the night.






Oh and I have done the same article on the Hammers board, for some reason I could not do a two board article.
