In the midst of football's trou- bled times few pundits would look to Millwall as a club lead- ing the game into a new era. For years they have been branded a thuggish and un- attractive team whose con- tribution to the league most could do without. But the wind of change is blowing through Cold Blue Lane transforming football's one time 'den of iniquity' into a haven of equality. The reason for this sudden turnar- ound in the affairs of the club lies in the person of Regi Burr a West-end financial consul- tant. He stepped in when the club teetered on the brink of extinction. With the help of Lewisham Borough Council a survival package has been pre- pared to lead Millwall into what could be a new era for football. The plan is to make Millwall into a club for the community sewing all aspects of. what is, a problem inner city area. The agreement means that the club is obliged to make its amenities avail- able to local teams and offer special concessions to chil- dren, OAPs, unemployed and community groups.
