Millwall Away

[Chico Hamilton III]

I’ve sat in the home end at Millwall for a game against us. Went in the Barry Kitchener stand with my daughter ( who was wearing a Villa shirt). It might have only been Millwall Lionesses v Aston Villa ladies but it got a bit awkward when we jumped up and cheered our equaliser. Not quite on the same scale as the cup match there the other season though.

I used to play football for the Price of Wales in Kennington (a real Millwall pub) and they tolerated me as a Villa fan because I played for the pub team, but come game day, I avoided the guys I drank with and played football with, as they would have seen me as fair game. Some of these guys were really frightening.

Is it right that you can get the Ferry to Surrey Quays? That's not far from the ground.

Just realised the day after is a bank holiday, good excuse for a nice piss up around that London, if I ever get out of the stadium...

Do Millwall ever open the bottom tier of the away end?  It always looks unused/empty on TV.

Only away team I've ever seen occupy it were West Ham a few times and even then the front 4-5 rows were sectioned off and a mass of police behind the goal so you probably wouldn't be able to see much anyway.

I don't think lower tier was given for the cup game a few years back.

West Ham didn't get the lower tier on their last visit to the Den in 2011.

Leicester did in the cup last year and they came on the pitch and went over to Leicester fans

Assuming they all invade the pitch at the end... do you think we will be allowed out straight away? Or will they make us wait until they've fucked off the pitch AND left the area?

We'll be kept in.

We were kept in after the cup game a few years back.

We'll be kept in.

For 30-60 minutes I reckon, just like the cup game 5 years ago.

I was in their end behind the goal in 1988 (all ticket game, living in London, had to rely on a football teammate to get me a ticket) when we played at the old Den. A very sizeable minority of their fans were vocally racist to the point where it felt like the majority. It is the opposite of a good day out.

At least it won’t be snowing this time. Hopefully.

We could need to win to get in the play offs but there is no way I am sitting in the home end there - they are fruit and nut believe me

One of the worst away days that. Penrith to Millwall, dire game, locked in for an hour then back to the north west through the snow. Had to get the missus out of bed at 3am to drive the car while I dug the snow out to get the car back onto the estate and up the drive. Chronic.
