Holloway upset with police over treatment of Millwall fans

Millwall boss Ian Holloway says their fans deserve greater respect after defeat at Championship rivals Leeds United.

Only 200 Millwall fans made the trip to West Yorkshire, who had to report to the service station on the M1 motorway, as they collected their match tickets on the way to the ground.

"Can't they police a Saturday match? We should be shown the utmost respect like everybody else," said Holloway.

"If I thought they (our fans) were a risk I wouldn't be saying all this. I am proud of them."

Holloway feels offended by the police force, with his side remaining in the relegation zone after a 1-0 loss.

"I don't understand. Are we so much worse? We are only treated like that by West Yorkshire Police. Why should they treat us any differently from everybody else?

"After all, the game has moved on and so has supporters' behaviour, so what is the issue?"
