Flyer Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 Other than bubble trips, Millwall is the safest away game in the country these days. it wasnt when QPR went there, away fans were not allowed onto the station so were kept behind right next to where the home fans come out. Missiles started raining down on both sides and the gate separating us was seconds from being torn down by the away fans. The filth just stood there and watch it happen and the fans couldnt move away. They could have stopped all this by holding fans halfway up the path to the station but i think the encourage trouble so they can keep their overtime. I did think the "one david cameron" chant aimed at them was funny as it was announced that day their OT was being cut. Wear a hat, it will stop coins from cutting you open when it kicks off.

Huffton Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 Sorry for the misjudgement. It's just that it can be hard to match mong fans on here with mong fans you actually see at games. Last time at millwall away, there was a group of said mongs in full body paint, wigs, hats etc. Shameful. F**k me, people were actually out enjoying themselves? Whats the world coming to? I blame the daily mail, shocking. FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHITEE1987 Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Is that Browns ? we got a couple of 17/18 year old lads with us, do you reckon they will get in ok are there any doorman mate. Went there for the WHU game and there were no doormen. Just walked straight in. The bar staff may have an issue but there are plenty more places of this genre if you keep walking. Just for the record dont bother with the private dances. This place aint got nuttin on FYEO!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben05 Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Looks like this one will make General Sale. Need to be quick tho as it looks unlikely to use a second tier as it didnt sell out quick to STH. Anyone know how many that top tier holds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal pub prices for beer with a good selection, free to get in and private dances a tenner if you want one,though I agree fyeo is a bit classier.

JRM Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Why have we not sold this out yet? Our support is weird at times to put it politely. we had about the same number of tickets for Brighton that sold out in 6 hours! these have been on sale for a week now would have thought season ticket holders would have snapped them up for a spring day up in London, visit HMS Belfast and the London Dungeon at London Bridge pre-match.

Prince Jazzbo Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Why have we not sold this out yet? Our support is weird at times to put it politely. Especially, when around the same time last season we played Orient away. I was out of the country, and I had countless people ringing and texting me asking if they could use my customer number to get a ticket. It was the same the season before, about 3000 to Orient and about 1500 to Millwall, and its much easier to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Understandable though.

Jack Posted 5 March, 2012 Share Posted 5 March, 2012 Why? It's their choice whether to go or not. Of course they do. It's just that millwall being 'scary' is very wide of the mark and a soft excuse. Over the last few years, there has been a LOT more trouble with Palace than there has been with Millwall, and I bet we sell out 4k at Palace. Millwall is just another London away game now, a great day out. In my opinion, people need to be less soft if they think Millwall is scary.

To be honest, I'll probably avoid London Bridge until after the game. With such a big away following, the known pubs round that area will be packed. Charing Cross might be a better bet.

JRM Posted 6 March, 2012 Share Posted 6 March, 2012 This is excellent news, the initial allocation was the upper tier, so these 1000 must be lower, it might be all we get if they keep the front couple of rows empty and the blocks at each end as segregation, Millwall aren’t used to having away fans that close to them at The Den. Still just over 3000 should be a top turnout and atmosphere. The away fans train back to London Bridge after the game will be packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
