stroud Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hi all I’m going to the game tomorrow with my 12 year old son and I understand that the over train line to Bermondsey is not running tomorrow so it looks like I’m having to walk to the ground from either South Bermondsey or New cross station. Obviously slightly concern walking from South Bermondsey to the ground with my son but I’ve just found a great looking pub by New Cross Station and it looks around 35 minutes walk away to the ground just wondered if people have drank around New Cross and is it pretty safe around there? Cheers all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PooPants Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Which pub is it? You’ll be fine in the rose And the fat walrus but I’d avoid the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bcfc2009 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Where did you hear about the Overground to South Bermondsey not running? Looked on TFL website but couldn't find any mention of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers all Hi @stroud trains are running every 12 minutes tomorrow from London Bridge to South Bermondsey and the walkway into the away end at the Den. This is tried and tested and very safe, albeit am sure all trains will be lively. If you really do decide to come to the wilds of New Cross south of the Den I live here and you are welcome to PM me. Will be a few of us and walking to the ground as I have done for a few years. Takes a while to get back out after mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroud Posted February 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Cheers ole I may pm you tomorrow if we head that way BcFc2009 sorry I thought I had read that on this forum tonight that the overground trains weren’t running, can’t remember who posted it through but I’ll double check the trains in the morning. If I was on my own wouldn’t bother me so much but I don’t fancy wandering around Bermondsey with little un, mind you he’s been with me a few times now and never had bother before don’t know why but millwall is one of those grounds that makes me edgy.

SinéadB Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 It's not that bad these days. But with a kid, just get the train to and from London Bridge. You'll have no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ole is spot on and without wanting to jinx our visit later you won't even see a Millwall supporter on this commute we are kept in a completely different area to the home support Fair play to Ole for his offer, but am not surprised as he has always been a top bloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The complete segregation bit. Went last season from London Bridge to South Bermondsey and Millwall fans were on the train and at both stations there and back. That said it was all good natured. Bit of singing but nothing more than that. We had won though. If we lose today and if Lansdown, Ashton and Johnson are on the platform I could see it getting ugly . I’ve been “working” on the ex-wife for weeks. She relented and has allowed the 15 year old to join me. I wouldn’t take him if I thought there was any risk. Enjoy the game. 3 points and we’re back on track..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't honestly know that When I have been there before we always got segregated before and after London Bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 What I have found at South Bermondsey train station,is the Police allow the away fans to get away first. Keeping the Millwall fans back,so maybe the Millwall fans know they can't get on the London Bridge bound trains and head to new cross gate station instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm coming from Welling and usually head up to London Bridge for a drink and then come back on myself. @stroud as @Olé says easiest route is from London Bridge to South Bermondsey and then down the walkway to the away end. Weather is crap up here at the mo so you don't want to be walking very long in this weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to a couple of coppers who told me that the Met were so pre-occupied with that they didn't have resource for Millwall vs City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Red Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Lee and Ole have both got great plans. The joy of supporting City is not all of life goes to plan, we should know that by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be waiting for them to unlock the gates after the game (usually held for 10 minutes for majority of home fans to disperse) and then walking back down Cold Blow lane.
