A Leeds v Millwall match would be problematic enough for the coppers but a Leeds v Millwall play off final would be a showcase for every nutter from London to come out and support Millwall for the day. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few new Leeds fans for the day either. It would be bedlam. Worse potential for trouble than any match for 20 years in my opinion. Ooh what fun !
