Forced into action: Riot Police control Millwall supporters At the end of the match, which ended as a 2-0 victory for the home side, police horses patrolled the touchline as thousands of Millwall fans were kept behind by the police. Some of those in the 18,639 strong crowd said the atmosphere was tense from the start when Hull paraded their new£5million signing Jimmy Bullard on the pitch. The former Fulham player was met by a chorus of boos from the Millwall fans. Humberside Police confirmed 12 fans had been arrested and were still in custody in the city. A spokesman said he believed the operation to counter the violence had worked well as officers and stewards prevented the two set off supporters coming together in the ground. He thought 30 or 40 seats had been ripped out during the match. Millwall manager Kenny Jackett said: 'There were one or two rushes and then towards the end of the game you see the police horses come out. I don't think it was off-putting for us.'   More...
