Millwall maul not brawl on a torrid day for Bristol City

[Gordon McIvor Wilson]

Stunning start for the Millwall resurgence in the championship, tough on Bristol, tough on the causes of Bristol. Great start to the south London club's return to the Big Time, backed by our old friends MATCHBET who are running markets on the games as well as printing their snappy logo on the back of the Millwall shirts. Blimey, what a combo, great initiative all round and there are betting KIOSKS in the stadium for Millwall home games.

Pretty photos of the game at Bristol at http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/football-league-blog/2010/aug/07/millwall-bristol-city where you can readily see the style and panache of the Matchbet logo (and the odd footie person underneath).

"What a sparkling opener", was the overall verdict from the crowd.
