Negotiated with the club the re-establisment of a substantial benefit for MSC members, giving the fans the opportunity to buy matchday tickets at a lower price than last season by offering a £2 discount when buying tickets in advance of Matchday

Establishment of a written agreement between the MSC and MFC which will result in real future benefits to all supporters including improved customer service

MSC presence at both the Bermondsey Carnival and Lewisham people day, along with the Millwall Community Scheme to promote membership and recruit new members.

In partnership with the Lions Trust and the Junior Lions launched an advertising campaign for the "Lions Directory" - a business directory aimed at Millwall Fans

Participating in negotiations for the re-establishment of the Lions Radio Show on South FM (previously Time FM) 107.3FM

Consulted fans asking for views on the catering kiosk within the ground. The club then used this feedback during negotiations with the new kiosk operator

The MSC football team have managed to make friends both on and off the pitch which has helped to give other clubs fans a better impression of Millwall supporters.

Following a query by a fan at a Fans' Forum, we arranged for substitutions made during games at The Den to be displayed on the big screen as well as being announced by the PA - which is sometimes missed.
