we believe there is a bigger picture here

Millwall’s FA Cup fourth round match against Aston Villa was set down for Saturday 26 January.  It was moved to Friday 25 January at 7:45pm.  The reason for the switch was that a march protesting cuts to the local Lewisham Hospital was to take place on the Saturday.  Now normally clubs get a bit peeved about fixture changes but not only were Millwall OK with the switch, they took an active role in promoting the march and encouraging their supporters to take part in the demonstration.

“Whilst changing the date of our Cup tie is an inconvenience to us, we believe there is a bigger picture here.
Millwall Football Club, our players, staff and many thousands of fans have, over the years, had reason to be grateful for the resources, facilities and care we have received from our local hospital.
We are not persuaded by the arguments put forward in favour of closing the A&E department, childrens ward, intensive care and maternity services at Lewisham.
Consequently, we have given permission for hospital staff and supporters to hand out leaflets and collect signatures for the petition at tomorrow's match, in an attempt to persuade the Secretary of State Jeremy Hunt to reverse the decision.
Our players will also be warming up before the game against Burnley in special t-shirts in support of the hospital and we would also encourage supporters who feel strongly about this issue to attend the demonstration next Saturday."
