This event also started a revolution in Swedish football by using coaches from UK en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halmstads_BK

    I’m a Rovers fan and I’ve always thought it would be pretty cool if I was able to get a Blackburn Olympic shirt made with their logo and colours on it but I’m not sure what the best course of action would be for that. I’ve found the logo but I’m not entirely sure of what the shade of blue would be. You said light blue, is like maybe slightly darker than Man Cities sky blue?

    Villa fan here, i went to the old Den twice in the 70's, i remember this guy saying when we get to the ground, everyone stick together. We did not have to wait to get to the ground, there was around 2,000 Millwall lunatics waiting outside the station for us, well the police came along and managed to removed them, and escorted us to the ground. This was first visit to Millwall i was only 17, when we got in the ground, i thought ,i wish i would have stayed at home, it was absolutely frightening, it did not matter where you was in the ground there was Millwall lunatics everywhere. I kept thinking what are we going to do after the game, how are we going to get to the train station, but we managed to get there with a police escort, with Millwall fans running along side ,giving us the i going to cut you up sign. I even went there the next year, i thought am i going crazy, but it was a bit better this time ,because we could not even get out off the station, because of the thousands of Millwall nutters outside to welcome us. But when i look back now, i think i am glad i went, it is something i will never forget. I have never been to the new Den, but it looks a bit lame, to the Old Den, i see you still get the old nutters in there 50' and 60.s , at the games, i wonder how many off them were,on the cold blown lane end in the 70's.

    I think the problem is the stadium is owned by Firoz Kassam. He sold the club but kept ownership of the ground. He leases the stadium to the club each year and the current lease expires in 2026. I think in the past the club has wanted to redevelop or build a 4th stand but he has blocked it.
