THE GROUND
The Den
Zampa Road
London
SE16 3LN
Millwall moved from The Den to what originally called The New Den, now just The Den, in 1993.
The new ground is just a short walk from their old home, in Cold Blow Lane, and has a capacity of 20,146, albeit the original plans were for a bigger ground.
The stadium has four separate stands and The North Stand is for away supporters.
The usual away allocation is for the upper tier only but up to 4,000 visiting supporters can be accommodated.
THE TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS
It is approximately 13 miles from Griffin Park to The Den by road, travelling through the centre of town.
The A2 Old Kent Road, passes very close to the stadium and Zampa Road is a turning off the A2208, Ilderton Road.
Some of the quickest routes to meet the A2 include via the South Circular, the A3, through Clapham, or along The Embankment and via Vauxhall.
There is no car parking at the stadium and supporters are advised to travel by public transport.
Those who do drive will have to park on nearby roads.
The nearest station is South Bermondsey, which has a walkway leading straight in to the stadium.
South Bermondsey is served by Southern trains from London Bridge.
Surrey Quays station is slightly further away and can be reached on London Overground services from Clapham Junction.
The Supporters’ Association will be running coaches to every game this season – details of times and prices will be announced in due course.
THE FIXTURES
Brentford will travel to The Den on Saturday November 8.
The Bees then host The Lions on Saturday Match 21.
THE RECENT HISTORY
Millwall are about to start their fifth consecutive season in The Championship but will be looking for a better year than last term when they came perilously close to relegation.
Under the leadership of Kenny Jackett Millwall got themselves in to the second tier and established at that level.
The Lions have yo-yoed between the second and third tiers for much of the last 20 years.
After relegation from the top tier in 1990 they had six years in the second followed by five years in the third and then five in the second.
They ended four years in League One by winning the Play-Off Final in 2010, a year after losing at the same final hurdle.
Jackett oversaw three years in The Championship before leaving last summer.
Steve Lomas took over but Millwall had a poor start to the season.
He left just after Christmas and, after a short time, Ian Holloway came in.
Millwall, however, still found themselves bottom with eight games to go and in the relegation zone with six to play.
But four wins and four draws from their last eight took them to 19th at the end of the season.
THE MANAGER
Ian Holloway was appointed Millwall boss in January and oversaw a late escape from relegation.
Holloway is one of the best known managers in the English game, as much for his post-match interviews as his success on the pitch.
He played almost 600 Football League games in a career that included a spell at Brentford and moved in to management as player boss at Bristol Rovers.
He spent six years at Queens Park Rangers, taking them up from the third tier after failing to avoid relegation in the year he took over, and also managed Plymouth Argyle and Leicester City.
After being relegated with Leicester he had a year out before taking over at Blackpool and leading them to the Premier League in his first season.
Blackpool were relegated at the first time of asking and Holloway couldn’t get them back up but did win promotion again with Crystal Palace in 2013.
He left Palace last October after a poor start to life in the top flight and arrived at Millwall a few weeks later.
THE TOP SCORER
Steve Morison scored eight goals for Millwall last season, all of them in The Championship.
The 30-year-old striker spent the season on loan from Leeds United and played 41 Championship games.
Morison made his name at Millwall after signing from Stevenage Borough in 2009, scoring 23 goals as The Lions were promoted in his first season.
He scored 17 more the following year before leaving The Den for Norwich City.
Morison, who started out at Northampton Town and also played for Bishop’s Stortford, joined Leeds in January 2013 and will be part of the squad at Elland Road this season.
Martin Woolford also scored eight for The Lions last season, six of them in The Championship.
The winger arrived at The Den in January 2013, signing from Bristol City.
The 28-year-old came through non-league football before signing for Scunthorpe United and played against Millwall in the 2009 League One Play-Off Final, scoring the winning goal.
THE KEY MEN
Millwall will go in to the new season without top scorer Morison but still with the services of many of the players that performed in The Championship last term.
Those that have left include striker Andy Keogh – who only scored one Championship goal in 2013/14 – and Liam Feeney, who spent the end of the season on loan at Blackburn Rovers.
Also departing is midfield player Shane Lowry, who played 21 Championship games last season.
Striker Jermaine Easter signed a new contract as did goalkeeper David Forde, who played 40 league games last season, and midfield player Lee Martin, who played 26 times.
Defenders Mark Beevers and Alan Dunne, who played 28 and 29 games respectively, will be part of the Millwall squad, along with Scott Malone, who played 33 games at left back.
Long-serving Paul Robinson, now 32, is also an option at the back, as is Shaun Williams, who signed from Milton Keynes Dons in January.
In midfield Millwall can call on Nicky Bailey, who played 28 games last season and Nadjim Abdou but Owen Garvan has returned to Crystal Palace after a loan spell and Liam Trotter made his move to Bolton Wanderers permanent, linking up with Feeney.
Carlos Edwards, who ended the season on loan from Ipswich Town, has joined The Lions as has striker Lee Gregory, from Halifax Town and defender Byron Webster has signed from Yeovil Town.
Without Morison and DJ Campbell, who left at the end of the season when his loan spell concluded, Millwall may be looking for more attacking options ahead of the new season.
