A midday kick-off to keep temptation and tempers low, with Leeds’s large travelling support slow to fill the top tier of the Den’s North Stand. As is customary, those in the corner of the Dockers Stand spent much of their Sunday lunchtime at 45 degrees to the play, instead regaling their visitors with chants often less than friendly. Leeds fans, in turn, heartily reciprocated.
But as Millwall were kept at bay by an organised defensive display from Leeds, the ire began to turn on the home team – even if the sourest bile was kept for the referee, Chris Kavanagh.
