Toblerone

I shall post no more.

Not at all, its genuine disruption for people wanting to travel to a game. If the same thing happened with the Gas lags for an away game, its pretty fair however the 'cycle race' or Christmas shopping is just poor, like someone posted Plymouth took a 1000 to Crewe... a 500+ mile round trip... 

But we are far better than them and the disruption is known about in advance so can be planned for by those who want to go.

Christmas is, of course, a huge surprise and in Sagsville they can only do internet shopping while a match is on.

I'm not going next week. We always lose when I go to Birmingham and I can't stand the place anyway.

Each block has 20 rows of 25 seats, which is 500 . . . 

The picture was taken almost 15 minutes before kick off. 

They has about 1,000 there. So what?!  

The centre blocks hold 320 (16x20) the top tier of the stand is 2100, the lower tier is 1900. Millwall's published figures.

The two blocks were 75% full. So about 500.

By your logic, that stand would hold about 7500. It holds 4000. The whole ground only holds 21000.

Millwall's own fans put your "support" at sub-500. The picture tends to confirm that.

Millwall FC have not published away support according to my Millwall supporting friend (and his friends....), and rarely do.

SODOFF FC have not said how many tickets they sold have they, only retweeted some random figure (which is almost certainly POTD).

Still, important not to let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Plus, you capitulated to what my mate refers to as a "cr@p Millwall side".

No it isn't. 5th in the league and they supposedly have one of the best away followings ever... 

Let's also not forget the train service between Gloucester and Brum is disrupted totally so that will affect our following a bit

Sorry, that's bordering on the cycle race or Christmas shopping excuses.

The 1,000 doesn't just come from the away contingent behind the goal . . .

Oh dear, those nasty facts again. My Millwall supporting  mate just supplied some information.

Away supporters only get tickets for the (pictured) North End. Sold Out FC only had tickets for the upper tier and sold about a quarter of them.

He's pretty sure that the North End is not POTD.

If any away fans buy POTD tickets in other parts of the ground they are 'relocated' to the North End as long it's not full.

I showed him this thread and he laughed like a drain. He reckons 500 is generous and they were quiet as mice.

And there it is... a post from Strange Gas

':laugh: - like the final sentence!

How can over 1,000 be poor?  130 miles.  On a saturday when most people are already Xmas shopping.  And when we're having 2 games a week almost every week. '

Didn't they boycott Pompey? No reason for the super club who are riding high taking at least double that...

And it was clearly 500, that sag bullcrap inflation factor again I guess.

Millwall said it was 1,018. Maybe they lied.

I think you'll find Millwall say they sold 1018 POTD, but don't let facts (or a picture) contradict more sag fabrications.

Hello.

We had a shocker today. But playing with 10 men it's never easy to avoid defeat. 

It's so long since we had a genuine hammering that I'm in group therapy. But it's coffee break time, so I have just popped in. Popping out now.

Bad day. These things happen.

Still shit though.

Fixed that for you

So is 502, and I know which is closer to the truth.

Sorry to resort to facts but the North Stand at the New Den holds just shy of 4000 split 2100  / 1900 between top and bottom. The bays the SODOFFs have occupied hold 320 each so there are no more than 500 there. 

If there had been 1,000 then Millwall would have opened the whole of the top tier.

But they didn't.

Nasty team, spent whole game whining and moaning.

i just asked him how few fans they had there

He said he didn't realise there was an away crowd!

Those blocks hold 300 each. They are about three-quarters full, so 500 max

I am sure the commentator keeps referring to Jones, but I wouldn't know one from another to be honest.

Can't say I give a flying (any more than you do), sags lost 9-0 on the telly is all that really matters. By the workings of saglogic I guess it doesn't count as it was before 1982.........

55 minutes ago, Port Said Red said:

I still think Glyn jones was man of the match, if it wasn't for him it could have been 18 - 0!! 

I thought it was Martin Thomas in goal that day.

Can't remember the opponents but the pre-2015 sag incarnation got thumped 5-0 on MOTD prompting the "what's the time?" "Five past Kite" gag.

Yep, a prowed record. It`s why I dread drawing one of the buggers, it`s bound to happen sooner or later. When you think how often we`ve played non league sides it is a pretty good achievement never to have lost to one.

Before Salisbury City imploded it was my biggest dread - "Bristol City will play... Salisbury City". I just knew it would end in tears. My mate on the terraces at Salisbury told me that he had a similar worry, but Crystal Palace in his case.

....and their gloriously funny defeats to Hitchin, Chesham etc!

And a plucky effort by the minnows in defeat against Bath

There was a glorious defeat to non-league Kettering on MOTD when the original sags were in the league that is worth a rerun or two too.

This.

If they don't show what a farce they've made the competition the organisers will never learn.

A number of teams did the same last night and in the previous rounds of matches. Excellent way to highlight the cr@pness of this year's competition.

You are feeling generous towards then then?

They are insulting Portsmouth with their presence tonight aren't they? Luckily there is a proper game on in Salisbury tonight.

And what was good was that some Pompey fans boycotted their own game (fair enough given the state of that cup and the opposition) but pitched up at a non-league game to shout for Winchester and so put some money into the game. 

Any sags out shouting for non league clubs as part of the boycott? Or was it too cold to go out on a school night?

I see they have taken 65 to Portsmouth tonight, they cant have counted the 40000 locked outside

More Winchester fans at Salisbury tonight than that.

I saw Roos play for AFC Wimbledon a couple of times last season and he looked pretty good - in fact most AFC supporters were sorry to see him go.  Could it be that he is not happy being at a tatty club with unpleasant fans, a shit-hole of a ground and peculiar team-mates?  Surely not.

It makes sense now why their game at Crawley was an early kick off, they must have sought special permission from The FA so they could watch our game on the telly. The FA, knowing that they are totally obsessed with us, duly obliged.

Yes, I suppose the 14 who attended would have got back to bristol in time to watch us.

"They are still an average Championship team" - yep, something you've NEVER achieved you morons.

So, they took less than the capacity of our stadium to Wembley for the biggest match in their history.

#tinpot

But they sold forty times that number of tickets plus most of the "neutrals" were supporting the most famous and popular   team in history weren't they?
