Following this afternoon's trouble at Hull City where sections of the Millwall support were said to have thrown coins, bottles and seats at Hull supporters, it is expected that there will be a heavy police presence on Tuesday evening around Edgar Street for the League One game.
A Millwall Club statement this evening acknowledges the problem at Hull:
Millwall Football Club strongly condemn the behaviour of certain individuals who detracted from what should have been an enjoyable and memorable occasion for both Millwall and Hull City supporters at the KC Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
We understand that South Humberside Police will be conducting a full post-match enquiry. We will provide our fullest co-operation with any investigation in order that those individuals can be identified and brought to justice.
The BBC reported that a number of people were arrested during the crowd trouble.
There were reports of ripped-out seats used as missiles in Hull's KC Stadium, and police in riot gear tackled the trouble in areas used by Millwall fans.
After the match, which Hull won 2-0, mounted police patrolled the edge of the pitch and thousands of Millwall supporters were delayed from leaving.
The Daily Mail also covered the trouble.
A group of around 150 travelling Millwall hooligans broke through the lines of stewards as the game kicked off, though they stopped short of wading into rival supporters at that stage.
When police and stewards formed a human wall, it appeared that the tensions between rival sets of supporters might subside.
Instead, Millwall fans charged into the police line and threw missiles into the Hull section in one corner of the ground. Those objects were returned by a hard core of Hull supporters as the violence threatened to spiral out of control
Around 2,500 Millwall supporters were said to be at the game. However they may struggle to bring more than 300 or so on Tuesday.
