The fixture on Saturday 19 September marked the first competitive meeting between the two sides since 2012 and the 100th competitive meeting between the clubs, adding another chapter to one of London football’s most historic rivalries.

With so much history between the two clubs, there was a huge sense of anticipation throughout the build-up to the match.

The Den was packed, the atmosphere was intense and both sets of supporters brought plenty of noise and passion to what was a highly anticipated return. The fixture ultimately produced an entertaining 2-2 draw, with Millwall taking a two-goal lead before West Ham fought back in the second half.

From the early stages of the day through to the final whistle and beyond, our staff worked across the stadium to help create a safe, welcoming and well-managed environment for supporters, players, staff and visitors.

With a large team spread across so many different areas, communication, coordination and teamwork were essential. Each role contributed to the wider operation, with our staff working alongside the wider Millwall matchday team throughout the day.

A Huge Team Effort

The successful delivery of a fixture of this scale doesn’t happen by accident. It relies on planning, preparation and hundreds of people working together, and we’re incredibly proud of the contribution made by our team.

James Wise, Managing Director at Wise Security, said: “I’m really proud of the team and the hard work that went into the day. The preparation and planning from everyone involved was excellent and played a huge part in delivering a great matchday operation.”
