Why Kent? It seems a fairly random thing unless a place in Kent has offered to fund a brand new stadium...

I can't say Millwall is a club I have any time for, but I do feel for their fans if they relocate.

me neither to be honest, but they're talking about a ground 70 miles away, which is a tragedy for local good fans ...

Ridiculous and a great shame if it happens but couldn't happen to a bigger bunch of cunts.
