Lions get a further 800 tickets

Millwall Football Club have been given a further 800 tickets for next week's Carling Cup tie against West Ham united after the club complained about the pitiful allocation given last week.

However the total allocation is still short of the 3,000 tickets The Lions were looking for and the club fears a large number of fans will try to obtain tickets for the home end.

"Whilst I'm pleased that we have managed to obtain more tickets," said MD Andy Ambler. "I remain dissatisfied that we have not been granted the 3,000 we feel we need to satisfy demand.

"An allocation of 3,000 would be well within our entitlement according to the regulations of the competition and I will be making our views clear to the relevant football authorities."
