Millwall nuts hope to gain vote winners to support their campaign against Lewisham Council so that the club can remain at The Den.
In a new attempt to keep their 24-year-old ground, the Association of Millwall Supporters have raised the necessary funds to enter a candidate to stand for election in one of the nearby seats in south London. If successful, the supporters' group will be looking to put a candidate into next year's local council elections as well.
Lewisham Council have already filed for a Compulsory Purchase Order to force Millwallto sell back their lease on the land, so developers can build luxury flats.
So, after June 8, we could heading for a Millwall utopia ladies and gentleman. No one likes them – so they'd fit right in.
