Millwall's new plea to UEFA

Millwall are to send shocking new allegations to UEFA about the way their fans were treated during their trip to Hungary.

Four of their supporters were stabbed with two suffering serious injuries as their UEFA Cup tie against Ferencvaros last week was over-shadowed by pre-match violence.

Millwall have complained about racial abuse, fans throwing missiles and problems with safety and security at the game, which were due to be dealt with by European football's governing body today.

But further damning claims against the Hungarian club have since come to light and will be passed on to UEFA.

They include allegations that stewards:

One fan said his video camera was taken from him and stamped on with police present when he tried to film the intimidating process of entering the ground.

Millwall have received more than 20 written complaints from angry fans about the way they were treated by Ferencvaros' security staff in Budapest.

A club spokesman said: "We will forward the information to UEFA and they must do whatever they see fit. But we want to try to ensure that supporters from other clubs are not subjected to the indignations and approach our fans suffered."

The chances of conditions for away supporters improving at Ferencvaros may depend on the decisions of UEFA's 11-man disciplinary committee.

They opened an investigation last week and will today consider the claims made by Millwall and the problems reported by their delegates at the game, which Dennis Wise's side lost 3-1.

The widespread racist chanting against Millwall ' s Mark McCammon and Paul Ifill during the game is likely to bring a fine and UEFA could force Ferencvaros to play games behind closed doors.

Piara Powar, director of anti-racism group Kick It Out, said: "We have been in contact with UEFA and are confident that, based on the evidence available to all, they will issue sanctions."

UEFA are expected to decide on any punishment today but will not announce their decisions until next week, after both clubs have been informed in writing.

Ferencvaros would have three days to appeal, after receiving notification of any punishment, and by that time all the Millwall fans injured in Budapest should be back.

Gary Cable, one of the fans stabbed trying to get to the game, is already home and his friend, Paul O'Kane, has had surgery on knife wounds and is expected back by the weekend.
