Millwall will kick-off their game with Leeds United on Saturday, October 27 at 3pm as originally planned after fears that the match would be moved to a midday kick-off in order to avoid any trouble between both sets of fans.

But after discussions with the police the game has been allowed to proceed as planned, with The Lions getting 1,500 tickets for the game. And unlike the last time the two clubs met at Elland Road, away fans will be allowed to travel to the ground independently of any official club travel.

No tickets will be available to Millwall fans on the day of the game.

"It is now absolutely imperative that both sets of fans ensure that the day passes off without incident," said Millwall chief operating officer Andy Ambler. "So that in future restrictions on travel or changes to kick-off times are not even considered."
