bungle Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 Just got train tickets for £12.50 return. Bargain. Another quality day out at London Bridge.
Saint Samuel Posted 8 December, 2009 Posted 8 December, 2009 How did you get train tickets so cheap? I'm really looking forward to this one, will be my next away game. How many will we take up? Safety in numbers might be best.
saints_is_the_south Posted 9 December, 2009 Posted 9 December, 2009 Can't wait for this one, bring it on!

Draino76 Posted 9 December, 2009 Posted 9 December, 2009 By then I shall be in my new place in Aldgate East/Whitechapel. I shall walk to the game.
This Charming Man Posted 9 December, 2009 Posted 9 December, 2009 After Orient, I expect these tickets to sell out in a couple of days and people offering £100 for a pair... then again, maybe not.
Um Bongo Posted 9 December, 2009 Posted 9 December, 2009 Saint Samuel said: Safety in numbers might be best. Lol. It's probably the safest away game you can go to these days.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 9 December, 2009 Posted 9 December, 2009 There will be so many police there anyway, and I don't think Millwall consider us as West Ham mk.II to be honest...
Neil Posted 9 December, 2009 Posted 9 December, 2009 I don't think that Millwall really need many police for most of their games, Leeds excepted! There's no real reason for any Saints fans not to attend on the grounds of safety (perceived hooligan threat), no more than any other away game.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 9 December, 2009 Posted 9 December, 2009 Aren't Millwall fans more inclined to chase 8-year-old kids through a park, than try and start a mass brawl with a load of boozed up adults anyway?

You going to risk it? there are certain pubs down the Old Kent Road, where you would risk a severe beating if you went in with Saints colours on
RedAndWhite91 Posted 9 December, 2009 Posted 9 December, 2009 Quote You going to risk it? there are certain pubs down the Old Kent Road, where you would risk a severe beating if you went in with Saints colours on Don't usually wear colours anyway. I'm not going to be looking for trouble, so it's more than likely I'm not going to get into trouble. I was just referring to this old story: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/4539786._Hide_in_a_bush__police_tell_scared_boy/ He was twelve, not eight. My mistake.

scott_saints Posted 9 December, 2009 Posted 9 December, 2009 We're Southampton. For this reason, there wont be any trouble (....that is newsworthy, anyway).
Andy_Porter Posted 9 December, 2009 Posted 9 December, 2009 There was a fair bit of trouble against Milwall in August. Doubt anything will kick off unless you're looking for trouble but still best to be carefull.
Griffo Posted 9 December, 2009 Posted 9 December, 2009 It'd probably be best to not wear colours, but apart from that Millwall isn't as bad as some of you may think. There's just about 100 pikeys in the top tier to your left that spend the game being mouthy.
Saints foreva Posted 9 December, 2009 Posted 9 December, 2009 How many tickets are we likely to get for this? 2,000ish?

Since we've been out of the Premiership we're getting a worse and worse reputation. I'd bet there will be a fair bit of trouble at Millwall when we go tbh..

I'd bet there will be a fair bit of trouble at Millwall when we go tbh.. I doubt there will be much trouble, as Millwall and the local police are well versed at controlling the fans at the New Den. The fans are kept very much separate inside and outside of the ground. The away coaches are brought in by police convoy and unload in a secure area. There is a separate platform for away fans coming in by train that leads directly to the away end. Only idiots really looking for trouble before the game will find any. If they turn up by coach or train they will have to leave the secure area first. After the game the away fans are kept in for what seems like 2 hours, once you are released by the police there are tumbleweeds rolling down the street! When I went, I didn't see any trouble at all depsite a few fans giving it large inside the stadium.

bungle Posted 10 December, 2009 Author Posted 10 December, 2009 Quote Which pub(s) you planning on going to in London Bridge? Market Porter? The new Wheatsheaf was good before the Charlton game. We usually manage about 6, including Market Porter, the George and some al fresco drinking at The Grapes.

This Charming Man Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 I'm probably going to give this one a miss. From some of the books I've read in the past, it's a very nasty place to go and I don't fancy being set upon by some local ruffians.

Saint Samuel Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 I've been told by my Millwall mate (he's not a complete nutter!) that the police protection for away fans is pretty tight, apparently they wait at Bermondsey station and escort groups of fans to the New Den, a bit like when Millwall fans were escorted by police to St Marys in August. I know plenty of football fans that are intimidated by Millwall away and wouldn't go, the whole West Ham/Millwall league cup incident hasn't helped, but I don't think its a problem, just wouldn't fancy getting lost in that particular area of London on my own wearing Saints colours!
Griffo Posted 11 December, 2009 Posted 11 December, 2009 It's simple. You go looking for trouble and you will find it. Don't go looking for trouble and you won't.

JRM Posted 21 December, 2009 Posted 21 December, 2009 surprised no ticket news for this one yet, will only be 3 weeks away on saturday. Hopefully we'll get the full 4000 upper and lower tiers.
Thedelldays Posted 21 December, 2009 Posted 21 December, 2009 I have been to the new den the away fans have their own walkway route from the station to the ground..

Is that the George Inn at Southwark near London Bridge? Haven't been there for years but used to be a great old pub steeped in history

I thought this was so their fans in the upper tiers either side can't chuck stuff down. Likewise though I'm quite surprised there's no news on this one yet, want to get my ticket confirmed, look forward to the usual Saints takeover of the Hole in the Wall!

No, they do open the lower tier, just don't think its often as most teams don't need the bigger allocation and I think they try to limit away allocations for teams like Leeds etc who would otherwise fill it.

They closed the lower tier after the West Ham game (in the Championship) because it was a main clash point for fans.
RonManager Posted 29 December, 2009 Posted 29 December, 2009 We have 2000 tickets http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10280~1918176,00.html

Trains are back to normal then as well with the tunnel open, so the 9.30 from Central up to Waterloo for 10.49 must admit i laughed reading that, the ticket news says there are 5 wheelchair tickets available, then the travel news says the first wheelchair accessible coach is running with room for 6 so one of them is going to miss out!!
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 29 December, 2009 Posted 29 December, 2009 Excellent, unreserved!! Should be a good atmosphere! As it is Millwal there won't be too many 'travel club' types as they will too afraid of 'violence' no doubt.

Well spotted, however the club did promise to address the fan at the radio Solent forum who raised the isssue of wheelchair users accessing standard layout coaches. This is imho another example of the club delivering what we the fans are asking for. It is Millwall who should be embarassed by this, as it would appear that Saints have a higher capacity coach than they do within their whole away section for wheelchair users! Astounding in this day and age. Maybe deserves a thread on it's own? Well done saints and I would advise anyone reading this who knows any wheelchair users who might want to attend to get in early, once it becomes common knowledghe that the wheelchair accessible travel club is up and running I would predict it to be very popular, not least due to the fact that the 'enabler' who could just as well be a friend or family member can travel at the concessionary rate too. As I said already, well done Saints I am surprised this has not been heralded more publicly actually, perhaps the Echo would like to do a piece on it?
saints_is_the_south Posted 29 December, 2009 Posted 29 December, 2009 Note that the OS states an initial 2000 tickets so if we can sell these quickly hopefully we can get the bottom tier too.
Saint Samuel Posted 29 December, 2009 Posted 29 December, 2009 Glad to hear its unreserved seating, will be picking mine up tomorrow
