Millwall Football Club
Millwall Football Club is pushing for Premier League promotion with a current league standing of 3rd in the Championship, 83 pts, 24W-11D-11L from 46 games, and a recent form of LDWDW.
What's driving their success?
The club's community connections, including the Millwall Romans, an LGBTQ-inclusive team, contribute to their upward curve. The Romans, one of only four LGBTQ football sides in the U.K. with a 'big brother' link-up with a professional club, have a strong following and a relaxed atmosphere that appeals to players and fans alike.
The impact of the Millwall Romans
Paul Loding, the Romans' player-chair, credits the team with helping him repair his passion for the game after years of keeping his sexuality a secret. The team's open training sessions, supported by the Millwall Community Trust, attract up to 35 players and provide a safe space for LGBTQ individuals to play and socialize.
Looking ahead
With 12 points behind leaders Coventry, Millwall FC still has a shot at making the playoffs and achieving Premier League promotion. Their success would be a significant milestone for the club and a testament to the power of community support and inclusivity.
