If you went, you wouldn't have seen any bother.

They have a shite away following and prefer to spend their Saturdays in London looking for Tottenham, West Ham and who has travelled down, so I doubt we will see much at Villa Park beyond a significant police presence and swathes of empty seats in the away end.

Plenty of teams have shit away supports but will travel in number for the odd, special occasion. They'll fill their allocation at Villa Park, easily.

Carefully​, I'd say. You don't want to get stung.

South Shields vs Cleethorpes, FA Vase final at Wembley. In 1994 the South Shields manager played in a final at Wembley. Graham Fenton.

South Shields should have been knocked out ages ago, cheating bastards.

Come on Cleethorpes.

Although the circumstances were a tad convenient they have been cleared of any wrongdoing. I'm Facebook friends with a former colleague who follows them and they have literally won every game since that incident as far as I can tell so think they'll win today as well.

Well we've survived their previous visits.
Survived and only just after the first game of the 1988 season and I was only a kid. i've never before or since saw 2,000 away fans almost all of them between the ages of 20-55, males, nasty looking, non replica kit wearing nutters and anyone was fair game for a beating. Thank God that train turned up at Aston Station before they got near!

While South Shields weren't punished it has to be remembered that they didn't follow their usual procedure for when their generator failed. They may not have switched it off on purpose but they didn't try very hard to get it back running again. Despite that I hope they they twat Cleethorpes. After beating us in the semi their chairman came on a Bromsgrove fan page and acted like the most graceless gloating cock possible. Besides, South Shields have Fenton and a claret and blue home shirt.

Dislike of Millwall heightened by their kit this season giving them a stripey filth look.

Attendance was 53,320. A bit low considering both sets of supporters claimed to have sold their allocation. On R5Live and Talk Shite this morning they were estimating the gate would be around 70K.

Don't know where both sets claimed to have sold out came from, Bradford have never claimed that and the last number I saw was 23500 sold.  A number of supporters had stated they would not attend due to the Millwall actions against Bradford fans in the play off at the Den last year and subsequent actions against  Barnsley fans in the final.  I wonder what action will be taken in respect of the pitch invasion and threatening postures against Bradford players and management especially bearing in mind the sanctions against Villa for the pitch invasion for the Baggies game?
