Millwall v Aston Villa? It's not one of the greats...
Be interesting taking a couple of thousand down there!Think we may need a replay to get through this one, they're in good form in the championship.

Millwall away - not too bad!
Away fans are located at one end of the ground in the North Stand (usually in the upper tier only). Around 4,000 away fans can be accommodated in this end. Like the general improvement in football, a trip to Millwall is not as threatening as it once was. However, it is hardly a relaxing day out and I found the Den to be quite intimidating. The large police presence at the match I attended did nothing to dampen this feeling. I would advise that you exercise caution around the ground and not to wear club colours. The most popular method of travel for away fans to the Den, is by official club coach, or by train from London Bridge. The Police are well drilled in dealing with the coaches and supporters arriving by train. Once inside the ground you will generally find the stewards helpful & friendly.

Not looking forward to this at all.I wouldn't worry.I've been to the New Den and its just full of chavs who think they're hard becuase they're supporting Milwall.You get "bubbled" by the police if you are on the coach or train and with 4,000 Villa down there it will be alright.

Never been to a game at the New Den with Villa.
