Millwall

Millwall Football Club have long been associated with The Den, though the less observant football fan might not realise that the one they play their games in now is different from the one they played at for 83 years. That is, perhaps, because the new ground is also called The Den, though for a time it was known as The New Den as well as Senegal Fields and The New London Stadium. At one point it seemed as though Millwall would never find a permanent home. Between 1885, when the club was formed, and 1910, when they moved into the original Den, the club played at no less than four different grounds. Their first home was little more than a waste ground, whilst their second was an area of land behind The Lord Nelson Pub, which became known as The Lord Nelson Ground. The Athletics Ground was up next and was the first purpose-built stadium that they’d played in. They had to move out of that when the Millwall Dock Company wanted to use the space as a timber yard.
