Does anyone know what the policing will be like for the Millwall game this Saturday? I would like to go along but can not risk taking my eight year son and subjecting him to seeing any aggro from the Millwall lot .

 

I remember years ago when I lived near London and went to a QPR vs Millwall game. Millwall sh-t the life out of me as they went about ripping up seats and fighting with tame QPR supporters. Policing with horses and dogs did not stop them.

We are both category C support, so there will be OB all over the show. If you come up from teh chapel end and stay away from their support, you'll be fine anyway.

I'm actually starting to get quite annoyed at people going on about playing Millwall being so much more dangerous than any other team. When i was at St Mary's yesterday one man asked for a seat in the northam but not near the away fans. Bloody ridiculous.

It's not the 1980s. Despite what the tabloids/Daily Mail may have you think it's just like any other football game. Unless you go looking for trouble you're not going to find it.

Exactly.

 

Taking soon to be Mrs. Clapham Saint to her first game. Her parents cr aped themselves when I told them we were playing Millwall. They honestly expect their fans to turn up with baseball bats. :rolleyes:

A - C. A being well behaved, such as Norwich type clubs, C being your Millwall's, Stoke's, Cardiff's, and us.

Cricket bats in honour of it being an ashes summer.

In the years I have supported Saints, the proportion of dickheads in our fan base has increased. Not sure if that is me becoming an old codger, or whether it is reality.

 

What I do know is that on here there is sometimes defense of the indefensible (smashing up a old boy's greenhouse in WBA, smashing up a pub in Bristol etc. etc.).

 

So we've been categorised 'C', for c***s, because that's what some of fans are.

Have to agree, with have a large amount of c***s these days, the number of which seems to have grown particularly fast over the past two or three seasons. Therefore the category C is arguably justified.

Nevertheless, in response to the original post, there is very very little chance of anyone who is not looking for trouble to run into any, whether we are playing Milwall or anyone else.

We did have a large number of idiots in the 70's, can particularly remember trouble at Bristol Rovers in 1977 ( FA Cup match ) , Charity Shield v Liverpool and most home games at the Milton Rd end with a pre match punch up being commonplace. Don't remember anywhere near as many problems throughout the 80's, 90's and the 00's to date though maybe that's just the perception I have formed. Either way we clearly don't need these morons.

I'm taking my duaghter to her first game against Milwall and we're going to the Northam.

We're not looking for trouble, but I'm not going to hide away just in case a Milwall fan looks at me.

Same mate, gotta love a bitta Maga!!

 

What hotel did you stay at? It's good there I thought, not as tacky as I thought it'd be!

 

Magaluf is ****. If you're going to go away don't be a tight bastard. PAy the money and go to Beefa.

 

Having the choice of going to Magaluf with my mates or Ibiza on my own, I know I'd rather pick the first option. Besides, I had a well good time so what does it matter.

 

 

 

And back on topic, I doubt on Saturday there will be massive problems, not with the massive police presence there will be. Take your son Bridge, just avoid the Northam for this one perhaps.

Violence at football hasn't increased but the PERCEPTION of it has thanks purely to the OTT policing by the coppers.

 

And the person (and fans like him) who started this thread.

Stayed at the TRH Palmanova, pretty good hotel...Maga was good but i marginally preferred Malia, would never pay Ibiza money myself 60 euros to get into a club and then 10 euros for a bottle of beer/alcopop....f**k that for a laugh...

 

Usually the OB have things in order and are well prepared so i don't expect any problems for fans who don't go looking for it...

Fair play never been to Malia, might have to be next year's destination as I have heard good things about it. I stayed at Sol Antillas, it was 4* and right on Magaluf beach. Laaarvely.

I went to Millwall in 2003 FA Cup 4th Round Replay and wasn't any more worried or intimidated than any other ground i have been to.

 

Millwall aren't the fans they have the rep for any more as all of the ones causing trouble have now been banned.

 

Millwall went to an FA Cup Final in 2004 and i don't recall any trouble on the day of any real note?

 

I'm not worried at all on Saturday, why even think about trouble? Lets just enjoy the new era at St Marys :)

I think you'll find that Category C refers to a group of supporters within a club's following, rather than the whole club. The hooligan element of a club's supporters are known as Category C.

I stand corrected then.

I went to that final and I was not aware of any trouble anywhere.

Will probably be the safest game you will attend all season.

 

Millwall are very well policed and there will probably be more OB than 'Wall fans.

 

My brother is senior old bill and generally i/c or 2 i/c Policing at Millwall. May be coming with them on Saturday....

Fancy posting an incitement to riot (or whatever they're calling it nowadays) on a fully traceable web forum. What sort of plum would do that?
