Millwall Holdings plc

Millwall FC is an English professional football club based in Bermondsey, Southwark, South London, operated by Millwall Holdings plc. Also known as ‘The Lions’ (and previously ‘The Dockers’), Millwall FC was founded in 1885 as the Millwall Rovers. Millwall’s home stadium is The New Den, which seats around 20000 fans. Millwall is associated with a stereotype of football hooliganism after various highly publicised events involving their ‘firm’, the Bushwackers. However, there is currently a membership scheme in place that has significantly reduced the hooligan element at Millwall football matches. Millwall have been Second, Third and Fourth Division champions, has won the Football League Group Cup and the FA Youth Cup.
