Six more fans arrested over Millwall trouble

POLICE have interviewed six more people as part of the ongoing investigation into disorder following the Rotherham United and Millwall FC match last season.

A 48-year-old man from Blackpool was interviewed on Monday and five people from London, a man aged 30, two men aged 24 and two 17-year-old boys, were interviewed yesterday.

Trouble erupted when Rotherham United hosted Millwall FC at the New York Stadium on February 28 and scored the winner with five minutes left.

Several stewards were attacked, leading to extra officers being deployed to restore order.

As fans left the ground, there was further disorder.

A number of stewards and police officers suffered minor injuries during the incident.

Six other people remain on bail in connection with the disorder. Officers are still trying to identify nine men they would like to speak to and have reissued CCTV images.

Anyone with information about those pictured, or who has information about the incident, should call 101 asking for South Yorkshire Police quoting incident number 290 of February 28.

Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
