F.A Cup 4th Round - Millwall away

[silhillvilla]

The train from LB to SB is overground so you won't find it on the underground map

[freethinker]

Do people think we will sell out the 2,000 tickets?  I really fancy this one but don't have a season ticket.

[Lambert and Payne]

I'd say we'll take about 15 - 1800

If they're putting on a special train for away supporters what about those of us who are London-based?
Must we brave the streets of rage?

[J]

Just to be clear, is there a special train that the police put on that isn't listed on the national rail website?

I want to go but don't want to risk missing the 22.28 from South Bermondsey if we get kept in afterwards.

I imagine there will be specials to whisk away fans away.
Remember the police are very well drilled down there.
I suspect there will be little trouble now it's moved to a Friday night.

This seems like a good guide...

There are not many pubs located near to the stadium and those should be avoided by away supporters.  If travelling by train then it is probably best to grab a beer around London Bridge before moving onto the ground. I would advise keeping any colours covered, even when drinking in the London Bridge area. There are bars at the back of the stands at the stadium, that serve alcohol as well as some decent food such as chicken and chips.

Chris Lynskey a visiting Scunthorpe United fan recommends; 'The Shipwright Arms on Tooley
Street, near London Bridge. Come out of London Bridge tube station, turn right and its only 200yds
down the road on your right hand side. A lovely little pub which also serves food. We left the pub at 2.15pm to go and catch the train to the stadium and made it comfortably for kick off'.

I wouldn't recommend "The Globe" pub to anyone, not sure if its London Bridge but its a pub I've heard mentioned by a few Villa fans

It is probably best to go by rail, as South Bermondsey Railway Station is only a few minutes walk from the ground. There is a direct walkway specifically built for away fans which takes you directly to the away end and back to the station afterwards. This has made the Police's job of keeping rival supporters apart so much more manageable. If your team brings a sizeable following, then an 'away fan' football special may be laid on from London Bridge. In these instances the police are well drilled in getting away fans into the ground from the special train and safely away afterwards. Although don't be surprised if you are held in the stadium for sometime after the final whistle, before being allowed back up the walkway to the station.
There are also two London Underground stations in the area, Surrey Quays & New Cross Gate, which are both on the East London Line. They are about 15-20 minutes walk away from the ground

It's outside Baker Street tube. Nowhere near Millwall

There's a Globe close to Borough Market, but it's nothing special.

The Market Porter in Borough Market is good. THere are a few pubs around there and it is pretty touristy and so safe (you would think).

Will be absolutely rammed on a Friday evening though. I'd recommend The Mudlark - just down the steps from London Bridge (the West side of the actual bridge, not the station).

There's the Swan at the Globe (as in Globe Theatre) ? Priciest pub in Christendom, but very pleasant.

The Barrow Boy and Banker on London Bridge itself isn't too bad....it is large and easy for the station.
