Forced into action: Riot Police control Millwall supporters Tigers chairman Paul Duffen said: 'There is no place for this kind of mindless hooliganism in football.

'Hull City Football Club will be seeking full financial compensation from Millwall for all the damage and will be making the strongest representations to the football authorities regarding this incident.' This morning, a statement on Hull's official website read: 'Hull City AFC utterly condemns the violence and criminal damage caused by Millwall supporters at the Kingston Communications Stadium during yesterday's FA Cup fourth round tie. 'A full statement will be issued on conclusion of police and stadium investigations, but it is already clear that a significant contingent of the travelling Millwall supporters arrived at the match with the single intention of causing maximum disruption. 'Over 50 seats were destroyed together with toilet facilities and concession shutters, all in the North Stand occupied by visiting supporters.'   More...
