Tottenham are due to hold talks with the Football Association this week regarding Millwall’s ticket allocation for next month’s FA Cup quarter-final at White Hart Lane.

Spurs will discuss the matter with both the FA and their local Safety Advisory Group, which comprises representatives from fire brigade, council, police and the club itself.

FA Cup rules allow for an allocation of up to 15 per cent of a stadium for away supporters. With White Hart Lane currently operating at a reduced capacity of about 31,500, it would amount to a maximum of about 4,700 tickets for Millwall fans. That number would have to be approved by the Safety Advisory Group, however — and it is believed the allocation is likely to be closer to the 3,000 mark.

All four quarter-finals, taking place between March 11-12, are to be televised, with the BBC having first choice of which games to show. Given the sensitive nature of this tie, it appears highly possible that the match will be allocated an early kick-off slot.

Tottenham are aware of the complaints made by Leicester to the FA after their 1-0 defeat at The Den in the fifth round.

A Leicester spokesman said: “Following receipt of numerous complaints relating to the constant abuse, provocation and intimidation of our players, staff and supporters from our arrival at the stadium, throughout the match and in its immediate aftermath, we have registered our dissatisfaction with the FA. We are awaiting their response.”

Millwall expressed disappointment that Leicester did not raise the issue on the day of the match. “We have been made aware of these allegations and are extremely disappointed that Leicester City, as is the professional protocol in such instances, did not raise them on the day of the game itself,” a spokesman for the League One club said.

The forthcoming quarter-final has revived uncomfortable memories of the last time these teams met, for the testimonial of former Millwall player Keith Stevens. There was violence before and after the fixture at The Den, while there were also reports of a group of Spurs fans attacking a pub in the area.

It was said that 30 police officers and three police horses were injured during the day, with one man taken to hospital with knife wounds.
