MILLWALL FC will be back close to the scene of Tuesday's riots when they take on Orient at Brisbane Road soon.
The Lions return to east London in under a month.
Today, the club appeared relaxed at the prospect of playing just 15 minutes away from where riots and violence erupted earlier this week.
A source at Millwall FC said the game against Orient is not considered a potential flash point.
So far, police have targeted West Ham fans as they investigate the events on Tuesday which shamed football and West Ham Utd.
But just over three months ago, the game between Orient and Millwall at the New Den was scarred by hooliganism and police action.
At full time, Millwall fans invaded their own pitch to abuse O's fans in the away end.
In scenes with echoes of what happened at Upton Park this week, police horses and stewards were needed to force away Millwall fans for the safety of O's supporters.
The safety of fans at Brisbane Road on September 26 must now surely be high on the agenda of both clubs and the authorities.
More to follow.
