Dopo essere stati fatti oggetto di cori oltraggiosi in occasione dell’ ultima vittoriosa trasferta del Chelsea sul campo del West Ham, Lampard e Terry potrebbero tornare presto a calcare l’ erba di “Upton Park” per una gara amichevole dedicata a Tony Carr, responsabile del settore giovanile degli “Hammers”. Il centrocampista lasciò il club per approdare a Londra nel 2001 e da allora è regolarmente contestato dai propri ex tifosi. Terry, pur non avendo mai firmato un contratto con il West Ham, ebbe modo, comunque, di apprezzare e conoscere Carr in giovane età. Intanto, le forze dell’ ordine appaiono davvero preoccupate dell’ ipotesi che Millwall e Leeds debbano sfidarsi in una incandescente doppia sfida valida per i ” play-off” della “League One”, decisivi per la promozione in “Championship”. Gli investigatori della “West Yorkshire Police” ammettono che è altamente probabile che venga decisa la chiusura dei settori ospiti per entrambe le possibili sfide incrociate. Gli agenti rimarcano come si siano verificati incidenti in tutte le ultime quattro sfide tra le compagini, ivi compresa l’ ultima in casa dei “bianchi” nella quale, causa il maltempo ed il giorno feriale, il contingente di londinesi in trasferta era abbastanza ridotto rispetto al solito. Nonostante questa circostanza che avrebbe dovuto limitare il rischio di tafferugli, si verificarono dodici arresti all’ interno e nelle vicinanze di “Ellen Road”. Le forze dell’ ordine ammettono che non sarebbero in grado di garantire la sicurezza ai tifosi di entrambe le fazioni e citano un precedente relativo ad una gara dei play off del 2002 tra i “Lions” ed il Birmingham, al cui termine diverse auto furono incendiate ed una cinquantina di agenti dovette fare ricorso alle cure mediche per le ferite riportate.

“Chelsea‘s Frank Lampard will risk more abuse from West Ham United fans after agreeing to play for his former club in a testimonial match for the club’s academy director, Tony Carr.He has agreed in principle to play along with the Chelsea captain, John Terry, despite both players being abused by Hammers fans when Chelsea beat West Ham 1–0 at Upton Park on Saturday.Carr, the east London club’s academy director, nurtured them both as teenagers. Lampard left West Ham in 2001 while Terry trained at Upton Park as a teenager but never signed for the club, going to Chelsea when he was 14 instead.Lampard has been regularly abused by West Ham fans whenever he returns with Chelsea and Carr said: “Frank and John have both agreed in principle to play. It speaks volumes about Frank that he is prepared to do that for me after everything that has been going on.”Terry accused West Ham fans of going too far with their abuse at Upton Park after Hammers fans taunted Terry with chants about his family, while Lampard was abused for having left for Chelsea eight years ago.Terry, asked if fans go too far, said: “I think they do, personally. I can take it, Lamps can take it. It’s a little bit more than that but I’m not going to give them a chance to say I’m whingeing. When you get that stick you just want to prove them wrong and shut them up. I think we did that.”
LEEDS- MILLWALL : DIVIETO DI TRASFERTA PER ENTRAMBE LE POSSIBILI SFIDE “PLAY-OFF” ?
“West Yorkshire Police have confirmed that after lengthy negotiations with The Metropolitan Police that should Leeds and Millwall meet in the Play off semi finals then away fans will be banned from both grounds.
The fixture has seen trouble at all four games over the past two seasons, The Metropolitan Police do not want to see similar incidents to those that marred Millwall’s defeat in their last venture in the Play offs against Birmingham City in 2002.
Fans rioted around The Den after Millwall went out 2-1 on aggregate, over 50 Police were injured and cars were burned out and there was also widespread property damage.
The last encounter between the two sides was played on a Monday evening and was live on Sky, Millwall took only a very small away contingent but there was still a dozen arrests made around the ground.
West Yorkshire Police spokesman Isaac Hunt said “We couldn’t ensure the safety of both sets of fans, with both grounds likely to sell out for the tie the banning of away fans at both grounds was seen as the most sensible option”.
The two clubs at the moment look likely to meet in the Play Offs after this weekends results, Millwall are currently fourth and Leeds fifth in the table with only two games remaining.”
