We have got together to put a raft of measures in place to make sure we try to rid this club of any of these tags, and anyone who wants to commit racism or any form of hate theyre just not welcome at Millwall, he said.We have shut the top section of block 17, 18 and 19, weve put extra stewarding in that area which will stay until the end of the season at least and police spotters will be up there to make sure the area is controlled.We are not being the fun police.3

Video footage was posted on social media of a section of Millwall fans chanting: “I would rather be a P*** than a Scouse.”

We are making sure people dont go over the line and that its an environment where people can enjoy the game, celebrate football and do it properly.Its important to us to try and rid this image.Myself and my staff, weve all been affected by this. It felt awful and it was a terrible situation.Weve been hurt by it and thats made us extra empowered to go and change whats happening and try and improve this for everyone.We dont want this, were hurt by it and its not what Millwall want as a football club.
