FA spokesperson:
"The FA have recognised the brilliant work that Millwall have achieved through their membership scheme and that the difference in the number of tickets does not reflect on Millwall".
He said in fact it was because of the police request that the 'neutral' areas of the ground be allocated to specific clubs.
"The logistical problems in segregating the Millennium Stadium then led to the difference in numbers of tickets available to each club. The paramount fact in making the decision on segregation was to ensure the safety and security of the FA Cup final."
