Extraordinary General Meeting - Statement

The past four years at Millwall have seen unparalleled turmoil in our club's history.

The decline from the FA Cup Final, UEFA Cup and competing at Championship level in 2004, to fighting relegation to the fourth division of English football this season has been painful for all Lions fans to endure.

Since the arrival of John Berylson as club chairman in 2007 however, there has been a prospect of real progress on and off of the pitch. To put it bluntly, his finance has kept our club alive - and for that we believe that all Millwall supporters should be grateful. Furthermore we believe that our club will make real progress with his backing.

The prospect of the upcoming EGM is destabilising and disruptive. We oppose any motion that seeks to constrain the board's ability to properly manage the company's business.

To this effect, we call upon all Millwall shareholders - whether large or small - to give their backing to the current board at this EGM.

We intend to do all that we can to unite Millwall fans and to campaign to reach the silent majority of our 43,000 small shareholders. It is possible that they will hold the future of our club in their hands.

Bob Asprey - Chair of the Millwall Supporters Club
Peter Garston - Fan Director at Millwall FC
Nick Hart - Chair of The Lions Trust.

GFL v JB

Graham Ferguson Lacey is again causing an unwelcome stir at Millwall FC, without even saying anything in public.

Lacey is currently the largest shareholder of Millwall PLC, but his actions suggest that he has no interest in the wellbeing of Millwall Football Club, only in the potential profits to be earned from property development in the locality of the Den. With or without a football club at its heart.

It is unhelpful that he has never stated his intentions, but does appear intent on doing battle with the board of Millwall PLC and chairman John Berylson in particular.

Obviously this is an unwelcome distraction from the business of the fight against relegation, which is where all the clubs energy and resources should be deployed.

John Berylson has again demonstrated his commitment to Millwall Football Club with another loan of £3m. The fans are fully behind him in the fights against relegation and against Graham Ferguson Lacey.

Fan on the Board Election

The deadline for nominations for the upcoming Fan on the Board election has now passed. Millwall Supporters Club has received two applications, one from Peter Garston, the existing FOTB, plus one other.

After further consideration of the likely impact on his family and work, the new candidate has decided that he cannot commit, at the moment, the time needed to do the job successfully. Consequently he has withdrawn his nomination.

With no other nominations, Peter is elected for a further three years as set out in the FOTB Terms of Reference.

Congratulations to Peter, and Millwall Supporters Club looks forward to continuing to work together with him to represent the views of our supporters and ensure that the unprecedented influence of the fans at Millwall FC can be developed further.

MSC Chairman Bob Asprey said "Peter Garston has been widely praised by the fans for the way he has gone about the role of Fan on the Board, and what he has achieved on our behalf. He has also earned the respect of his fellow board members at Millwall FC. While it is disappointing not to have an election to provide a FOTB with the majority backing of the fans, I am sure that most supporters are happy to see Peter continuing his good work."

Regeneration Suggestions

For some time now, the club have been working towards plans to regenerate the area surrounding the club. Being a financially sensitive issue, they haven't been discussed with MSC or individual supporters.

We feel it is important that as an official supporter group that we consult with our members to see what you would like to see included in the regeneration plans and to take your ideas to the club.
