I occasionally look at other forums and while I don't have much time for Millwall, this sounds familiar. Some of the same complaints, some of them go further as is their way but basically giving away fans too prominent a position.

The two occasions I went it was top tier only, has that changed?

https://millwallonline.com/forum/threads/away-fans-at-the-den.55241/

Yep we were in the lower tier, right next to their lot in the adjoining stand in August.   Made the stoppage time  winner even more enjoyable!!

And that is what the Lansdown’s want.

We are simply a cosy club. We will not shake off that tag until under new ownership. 

Beat me to it.   It’s exactly what they want.  Same with LJ…….those that challenge fall by the way side.   But we all know those stories already…... really hope Manning betrays his nice person demeanour behind closed doors, as and when it’s needed.

Left footed, scored the winning goal in a World Cup with his right foot! RIP

I’m surprised barely anyone that I’ve seen - here, on the news outlets, social media etc - is mentioning he scored the free kick against us in the semi as well (with the Parker ‘assist’).  I remember him a lot more for that sad moment as a young nipper than I do the final! 

Fantastic player and so young.  RIP Andreas.

Sacked after just 12 games. Absolutely ridiculous. 

Seems very harsh on the outside and incredibly muddled thinking by the Board both in getting rid of Mowbray in the first place (apparently because he wanted to add some experience to their youthful squad and the board refused) and then appointing Beale as a result,  but I guess if he isn’t working out and players and fans aren’t enjoying working with him then you could say it’s better to cut ties now as opposed to carrying on with something that isn’t working and doesn’t appear will in the short to medium term.   A bit of a mess atm though and apparently their fans want Allardyce or Keane neither of whom I would suggest would be any better! Should’ve stuck with Mowbray (assuming his health gets better) in the first place.

Different level but Sheffield United look even worse than us!

Brighton 2-0 and cruising

Yep.   Watching us atm is pretty dull at times but this is different level shiteness!

As I think only one other person has referred to in this thread so far,why bring on an untried teenager when you have Twine on the bench? Very strange decision Liam

Absolutely.  The only reason can be is that Twine isn’t ready.  And that then begs the question why was he on the bench in the first place.

Because they wanted to, it is pretty irrelevant as the club can’t do anything about it…. Except of course actually telling fans in a timely manner that it would be a 12:30 kick off 

It’s not irrelevant.

That's irrelevant really. The club has really messed up.

It’s not ‘irrelevant’ to the point I was making.

Not sure the police did much wrong here, they requested the kick off change months ago, it was the club that held off announcing it in the hope that it would be picked for TV, and then delayed the announcement for 11 days after it wasn't picked!

So why have the police asked it to be moved in the first place then?

Looks that way. It was just utterly dishonest to ever pretend it was a 3pm kick-off. 

But the away game was 3pm with no issues at all save for the issues the police caused by lying about trains being available and then kettling us in.  Police and club are a joke here.

PS - it’s half-term!

For others in the household but not for me unfortunately!

Seconded. Williams too IMO.

Quick browse of the Championship As It Happened says it all.

Very much so.  Absolutely outstanding once again - as good as he was against Forest.  And that was very very good.

Same again for "3-0 down".

Thought that was excellent and was spontaneous yet sustained at times. Excellent.

Was beautiful!

Have had a few celebratory jars after the game as a hangover is always ok when it’s worth it on a school night.   What an absolutely superb performance.  Incredible. Knew it was there from the FA cup games but tonight it came to fruition.     More more more of the same please.  Up the ******* City.  Onwards! 
 

PS please can we give James a new deal.

Actually - the away fixture was .

Yep.  This is what pisses me off.   No issues as well apart from those caused by Heddlu at the station!

As above, all the admin are in agreement that it will stay as it is

But why? For what purpose? You’re making work for yourselves? Last time I asked I got told ‘thats just the way it is’. This isn’t just a public forum - people pay to use it - and so just a ‘tough tits’ attitude to it really doesn’t sit well. I’d love to know why it was done please? 

6 minutes ago, Davefevs said:

Yep, rather see a thread on Gillies v Leeds stay on main page, whilst a thread on Klopp or an England fixture can move off after 24/48 hrs.

I’d rather have easy access to both and allow people to pick and choose but if it has to be one or the other then this is a City forum and it makes sense to have City items on the main page.  I just don’t get the need for a change in the first place.

None of it really matters though, does it? Not really?

(Thanks to @phantom and the admin team, though. I used to do it and it’s a somewhat thankless task.)

Get the point but it’s all relative isn’t it? To me ex players and managers matter a lot more than some of the random items that remain on the main page.  Seems plenty agree as well. 

1 minute ago, phantom said:

For goodness sake it's not a personal decision by me, it was stated why it wasn't changed and a suggestion was agreed on

As much as you and others try and turn this into trying to make me be solely responsible the other admin discussed it, and a solution was agreed

There's nothing else to say on the matter as it is resolved

Who decided? And why? It seems like you are making work for yourselves where it really isn’t needed and it’s to the detriment of the forum? 

It needs to be re merged - it just seems really pointless and petty to not do so now.

Most braindead chant going, that. Sounds like an old washing machine chugging along.

I was in a pub on the Gloucester Road yesterday with my daughter to watch the Man City match and grab a pint and some food. A couple of screens were showing the West Brom game however and when Weimann came off practically the whole pub erupted with a very loud ‘Sheed head’. My daughter asked me what their weird noise said and when I told her later on she was like ‘what the -  how sad are they’. She thought they were even sadder once I told her about Martin, Hunt and Jamie Mac

Our stadium looks good. However the acoustic sound that 23K plus in attendance is average. There was more sound and atmosphere at Ashton Gate when we had the old east end , Grand stand, Enclosure, the original Dolman stand. 
unfortunately a state of the art stadium like we have now does bring with it the passion that City fans had many years ago.

It’s nothing to do with the stadium.  Coventry fans very amply proving that atm against Millwall.  Hell of a racket being made in their modern stadium with everyone joining in.  People don’t sing at our place  That’s the beginning and the end of it.  People try in the south stand. I’m sure people try in the Dolman.  People try in the S82 corner. But City fans don’t join in at home.  No amount of moving seats or re acousting the stadium or moving away fans is going to change it.  It’s a real shame but that’s the reality.

They happened under him too.  Unfortunately some of those posters who had it in for Nige wouldn’t have created any positive posts re other aspects of the game like I did.

Let’s be better than them though Dave.  Those who know what you mean know but it’s not going to wash with the anti Pearson crew!   I didn’t watch today, but I did watch us go toe to toe with Forest on Wednesday and be the better team and ultimately come away with **** all.  To go away to Boro and get a win is superb however it happened. So let’s enjoy it!  (I know you are btw)

A superb win under any circumstances.  Absolutely fantastic.   Well in City.

What were to happen if a city fan chucked a flare and it hit an elderly person … people in here would be saying why werent the fans properly searched before the game 

Interesting point - they obviously weren’t searching their own fans as when they won the shootout someone in their end lobbed a red flare towards the pitch and it hit one of the stewards (bald, slightly older chap) straight on the swede. He seemed to laugh it off from what I saw.  World War 3 would’ve broken out if that happened at AG!
