saints_is_the_south Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Just seen this on one of their forums http://www.millwall.vitalfootball.co.uk/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=34387&posts=2 We have been given this pub by Millwall's police liaison officer Pub for Southampton Away Millwall supporters have been allocated the Old Fat Cat Pub (166, Above Bar St, Southampton, Hampshire, SO14 7DU) for pre-match drinks. The pub will open from around 10am. The OFC must be brave!
Saint_Jonny Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 I know where I (wont) be going on saturday then!! Im 'ARD
stevegrant Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Surprised they haven't been given the Square, that's usually the pub of choice for the OB
saints_is_the_south Posted 5 August, 2009 Author Posted 5 August, 2009 Wonder if police will stop home fans going in Yates due to them being so close, likewise the square? We're starting at the giddy bridge in London Rd for a fry up so will have an interesting walk past the OFC down into town after we've finished there!
Block 18 Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Could be my lucky day if they kick off and wreck the toilets, I know the manager, and do most of his plumbing work:o

I say move to the Alfred or stay up the top end of town!
saints_is_the_south Posted 5 August, 2009 Author Posted 5 August, 2009 I say move to the Alfred or stay up the top end of town! If Yates are letting home fans in then we can still go there, need somewhere to sit down & watch the cricket!

Dog Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 OK thats the shirters and scarfers' pub sorted then. Now what about the real loons, they'll be in Yates', the Eagle and every other pub in town, in their little groups of 4's.

Junior Mullet Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Are Milwall genuinely likely to bring a mob? Honest question - Im not sure where the truth lies in all the hype and reputation. Leeds are the worst behaved I've ever seen visit SMS.
RoundHill-Saint Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Milwall always take a mob, there a unch of dirty ****s
Totton Red Posted 5 August, 2009 Posted 5 August, 2009 Are Milwall genuinely likely to bring a mob? Honest question - Im not sure where the truth lies in all the hype and reputation. Leeds are the worst behaved I've ever seen visit SMS. Big day on Saturday for the london bruisers!!

Leeds are the worst behaved I've ever seen visit SMS. they won't probably bring a "mob" just a few younger lads trying to live up to millwall's past reputation
Saint_clark Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 they won't probably bring a "mob" just a few younger lads trying to live up to millwall's past reputation Exactly, all the real Millwall nutters are too old now.
Dog Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 1st game of the season. Coastal town. Big team. Big ground. In the summer. Just down the road. Carlsberg don't do football perfect away days, but Miiiiillwaaaaaaall do!!!!! They will be itching at the thought of it....
Red Stripe Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 The pubs around Basingstoke could get lairy - Rangers & Millwall!
Sour Mash Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 The pubs around Basingstoke could get lairy - Rangers & Millwall! What has Basingstoke got to do with anything?
Nexstar Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 Pompey v Rangers same day! Are they playing in Basingstoke then...?
Post-it note Posted 6 August, 2009 Posted 6 August, 2009 The pubs around Basingstoke could get lairy - Rangers & Millwall! Pompey v Rangers same day! What has Basingstoke got to do with anything? Whats basingstoke got to do with it?
Saints Warrior Posted 7 August, 2009 Posted 7 August, 2009 It does appear an odd decision as they could be marched to SMS and then just drink in there then marched back. Hope the police wont be as stupid and let any without tickets into the Itchen for free as they did in the FA Cup game. Perhaps Millwall are classified as a safe family club now!
J Bizzle Posted 7 August, 2009 Posted 7 August, 2009 who's coming to storm it and give them a right good head kicking then?
Thedelldays Posted 7 August, 2009 Posted 7 August, 2009 Exactly, all the real Millwall nutters are too old now. have you been to the Den..? i have and it was not nice...even though the ground itself id fairly new.. the whole experience was like going back in a time warp...
RedAndWhite91 Posted 7 August, 2009 Posted 7 August, 2009 have you been to the Den..? i have and it was not nice...even though the ground itself id fairly new.. the whole experience was like going back in a time warp... Can't wait til Millwall away!
hamster Posted 7 August, 2009 Posted 7 August, 2009 I have a family of Millwall stopping at mine tomorow. I will however insist on travelling to and from the stadium seperately from them. I know what they are like and what they are capable of when riled. I once had to tell the Dad to be quiet at a New Years Eve party as he was singing racist Millwall songs, he took exception and crushed a beer can with his bare hand. Of course I apologised and fetched him a cold beer beer to replace the one that he had crushed. Walking back to the garden from the fridge I shook the ****er up more than I have ever shaken anything in my whole long life. What happened next I will not share with you, suffice to say, we did not kiss when the clock struck midnight. We now have an 'understanding'.
diggers Posted 7 August, 2009 Posted 7 August, 2009 Does the dog still travel or is he dead? I seem tot remember that he died in a car smash ironically on his way to the Dell years ago
Badger Posted 8 August, 2009 Posted 8 August, 2009 I seem tot remember that he died in a car smash ironically on his way to the Dell years ago I remember that incident in the mid-late 70's.I think the supporters killed all lived in Basingstoke. (Which might go full circle in reference to the above questions about what has Basingstoke got to do with it.)
Brittanysaint Posted 8 August, 2009 Posted 8 August, 2009 I remember that incident in the mid-late 70's.I think the supporters killed all lived in Basingstoke. (Which might go full circle in reference to the above questions about what has Basingstoke got to do with it.) All the lads killed then were from Basingstoke area and used to hang out in the Buckskin Pub...I worked with 3 of them, I went to a couple of games with them too .. took on the Holt End one evening, total nutters....to be honest ..as an 18yr old I only went with them coz I had a car and they told me I was going....you didn't argue ? Don't forget the day of the crash they had already been in Basingstoke town centre pubs knocking the ****e out of the local Chelsea fans. I'll never forget them ...they were some real tough blokes.
red&white56 Posted 8 August, 2009 Posted 8 August, 2009 There were plenty in the Chapel Arms before the game and I didn't see any issues.
John McAndrew Posted 8 August, 2009 Posted 8 August, 2009 well running battles in town afterwards....from jd sports,in the parks,outside yates/flairs and round towards the civic....i estimate 200+ in total in all the incidents
hypochondriac Posted 8 August, 2009 Posted 8 August, 2009 Yep fair bit of trouble outside yates' after the game. Some bloke tried to hit someone with a wine bottle and the bouncers pwned him.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 8 August, 2009 Posted 8 August, 2009 (edited) The rumour doing the pubs in town after the match is that a Saints fan was stabbed by some clown from Millwall in Yates' before the match...according to the landlord at 'The duke of Wellington' Edited 8 August, 2009 by Thorpe-le-Saint
saint_bert Posted 8 August, 2009 Posted 8 August, 2009 They didn't let home fans in yates before the game
The Saturday Boy Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 Just seen this on one of their forums http://www.millwall.vitalfootball.co.uk/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=34387&posts=2 The OFC must be brave! I spoke to a member of staff in the Old Fat Cat last week and apart from midweek cup games, the OFC will be the designated away pub all season.
saint_bert Posted 10 August, 2009 Posted 10 August, 2009 I spoke to a member of staff in the Old Fat Cat last week and apart from midweek cup games, the OFC will be the designated away pub all season. I suggest they open their doors then
westburysaints Posted 12 August, 2009 Posted 12 August, 2009 Couldnt find a pub after the game, went to Wetherspoons at the bottom of town for 1, then thought we would head back to the station and stop off on the way but every pub from Yates to the station was closed!
