BBC News said:
Humberside Police have warned they are planning to make further arrests after studying video surveillance of the crowd trouble.

A force spokesman said an operation to counter the violence had worked well, as officers and stewards prevented the two sets of supporters coming together in the ground.

He said about 500 known troublemakers were among the Millwall fans.
I have to ask - if they're such well-known troublemakers, how did they (i) get tickets, (ii) get into the ground?

They didn't do that great a job of keeping fans apart from what I saw.

Just when you thought this sort of thing was dying out ... I know Millwall have put a lot of effort into getting rid of the louts, but it just won't go away, will it?

This was from Leeds - Millwall last year, but tbh this was always going to be a "interesting day". No matter what the Police/clubs do there will always be an element within football who are up for a fight

Even Right Said Fred were getting in on it

Love how the guy in the blue and white t-shirt is just sitting there as if nothing is going on!

Just because they are known trouble makers doesn't mean they have proof and can refuse them entry.

The police did an excellent job, hopefuly if Millwall are punished it will kick them up the ass to get rid of the trouble makers.
