Millwall Lionesses are on the verge of administration - and have called on football fans to help save their club.
A JustGiving page has raised over £7,000 in an attempt to keep them afloat.
A statement read: “Millwall Lionesses regret to inform supporters, and the wider football community, that due to significant financial discrepancies, the club finds itself in a position whereby it may soon be forced to go into administration.
“During recent weeks, and particularly so following the resignation of its chairperson and sole director on March 28, the club exhausted all external funding channels, including Millwall Football Club, who have provided assistance in excess of budgeted sums and whose support allowed for March wages to be paid to players and staff.
“Moving forward, if the club is unable to secure a substantial influx of money, for example through additional sponsorship, then the Lionesses will regrettably be unable to complete the current campaign.
“Having enjoyed a hugely successful season up to this point, with the club still unbeaten in the league, this is of course a worst case scenario and all associated with Millwall Lionesses are working extremely hard to secure its short and long-term future.”
The club hosts Aston Villa Ladies at St Paul’s Sports Ground this evening - volunteers will be a holding a bucket collection to help with the crucial fundraising.
