Millwall ready for Telford battle

Tim Cahill insists Millwall are ready to get their hands dirty to make sure they do not slip up against Telford in an FA Cup fourth round tie which has twice been postponed by torrential rain.

The Nationwide Conference club have spent £15,000 (€22,000) on a heated balloon to protect the Bucks Head Stadium pitch, which has had 40 tons of sand emptied onto it in a bid to beat bad weather in the region.
