COLD BLOW LANE (away) 1967 to 1975 Did anyone (dare to) travel?

[gregavfc69/70]

I'd be fascinated to learn if anyone ever travelled away to Millwall during this period.....'67 to '75.
Matches were....14/10/67 W 2-1
                        4/4/69  W 1-0
                        6/9/69  D 2-2
                        23/4/73  D 1-1
                        1/9/73  D 1-1
                        1/4/75  W 3-1
A very good record, it has to be said. That final result was one of nine wins out of ten as Ron got us promoted but by then Millwall had a ferocious reputation,...so did many travel that night?
And on 1/9/73 ( I was sitting at home), I definitely recall shortly before the 3pm kick-off that the BBC Radio Birmingham (as it was then) match reporter clearly stating that ''hundreds of Villa fans were holed up at New Cross Station''.
Maybe he was also there around 2pm and he was able to break free of an assumed police cordon on the pretext that he was a media correspondent. God! It sounded pretty fearsome, pretty hair-raising to say the least.

There’s a chapter in the Villa Hoolies book called “Millwall, when it was Millwall” which recounts in some detail that day in 73 I think.

I didn't go to the 1967 game which was notorious for their fans attacking referee Norman Burtenshaw who was stretchered off the pitch unconscious.
I was at the April 1969 game with my older brother standing up. I would have been just shy of 12 and it would have been the day before his 17th birthday. When I cheered the Villa goal some bloke gave my brother a bit of a kicking. Something he still reminds me about.
The 1975 night game I was in the relative safety of the seats and we were on a great run of results all the way back to division one. I do recall a couple of Villa lads coming through shitting themselves, i think they had been standing up and somehow escaped into the seats.
Don't really have much recollection of outside the ground. 1969 game we would have gone on the supporters coach and 1975 would have driven down in my Dads car. You never wore colours.
