reddogkev Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Seems like a long time since Millwall have been discussed on here. So with them playing Bradford today, do we still hate them and do we want them in the same league as us? Now, I haven't heard anything too unsavoury from their lot for a while... are they still a feisty mob, or have they cleaned up their act???

Pezo Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I didnt realse untill about midday yesterday that they were playing and I have ended up in Bradford with nothing to do between 11:00 and 16:00 so popped over and got a ticket (bargain at £15). I will be supporting (ish) Bradford - the hassle and cost of playing Millwall for the police and club is something I would rather avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 The last time they came to AG it was a night game, wasn`t all ticket and they brought about 50. I took my brother in law with me who`s Millwall to the core and he was amazed at how few were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that he doesn't want the hassle of the police prescence and the crowd trouble when they played us. Nothing about watching them as a neutral. I think he made that fairly clear.

LondonBristolian Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I don't hate Millwall. And I think they're much better than they were. West Ham-Millwall games are always going to be fraught affairs but I enjoyed my last trip to the New Den to watch City (especially as we won) and would rather they went up out of all the teams in the play-offs, just because it's easy for me to get there!

The misses has training and it was so much cheeper for me to drive and stay over night (£100) than for her to catch the train (£170) that i did the supportive BF bit and drove.

Betty Swallocks Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I prefer games against the likes of Millwall than say Colchester or MK Dons. All or nothing are Millwall, if they ain't interested they'll bring a couple of hundred at best, if it's one of their days out they'll take thousands if they could.

sglosbcfc Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I enjoy games that have an extra edge about them I.e. Rovers, Swindon, Cardiff, Plymouth, Wolves and I'd certainly place Millwall in that category. Anyone who thinks they no longer have trouble makers would be in for a nasty surprise should we have them first game of the season at the new Ashton Gate on a sunny August Saturday afternoon. It may be that we would need to rebuild the ground again after that fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the most bizarre experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfred Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 It's to cliche to not like Millwall, without any valid reason these days. Name the last time you heard of any trouble amongst their fans? I know a few of their fans as well and they are among the funniest and driest people I've ever met. I like Millwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I don't like any London clubs*. "Oh we hate Cockneys and we hate Cockneys, we hate Cockneys and we hate Cockneys, we hate Cockneys and we hate Cockneys. We are the Cockney ....... haters." Right now I'm on a train in Sussex full of ****** Palace fans. Gits one and all. * personal reasons make a difference - AFC Wimbledon are exempt.

We've had similar amongst our own support in the Atyeo this season and straight of the top of my head I can think of Saints, Wolves and Sheff U away where our fans have fought amongst themselves. Unlike Millwall, our reputation doesn't proceed us so much and it didn't get widely reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCRED Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Going back to the mid 80s and there were some right old ding dongs between us & Millwall. I went to the Old Den back in 85 I think and our Knowle West friends took a coach load from the Venture Inn and let's just say it kicked off big time i was in the away end and have never experienced a day like that in all my life, it was excitement mixed with fear especially as the coaches travelled down the old Kent road and got pelted by glasses from their pubs. whether there is still a bit of dislike or opportunity for a ruck remains to be seen but always brings back some memories for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poland_exile Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I missed the 80s, so my first experience of Millwall was 91 - both of us were chasing a play-off spot with only a handful of games to go. The game could have gone either way such were the chances that fell, unfortunately they had Teddy Sheringham and we didn't. We lost 4-1 and the atmosphere behind the goal was pure hate. I remember afterward in the park there must have been well in excess of over a thousand city waiting for them. I'm led to believe city took a battering though before the game at the Spring Gardens or something? Have several more Millwall memories from the 90s, including the time City went into their west stand after the match with most of millwall on the pitch. I'm not a hooligan, but always enjoyed having high tension encounters where you could feel something in the air in the hours leading up to kick-off. It does lend the occasion an edge you don't often get, and I'm all for that. I'd love to see them go up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/1222962.stm remember this from 2001, totally kicked off after the game, fans were on the pitch, some ripping out seats in the east end and launching into williams and some trying to throw them over the roof of the east end (note sure why) Millwall players led by Sean Dyche completely smashed up the away dressing room horrible club, sure they will have a nice time up muller road at the cabbage patch next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 After the Fulham away game a couple of months ago we got chatting to a couple of stewards. We warned them about the Gas, Fulham looked like they were going to be relegated at the time. One of them genuinely didn't know there were two Bristol teams which made us laugh. Anyway we asked about teams they had the most trouble with Millwall and Luton they said, Millwall even fight with themselves. And by the way, they were prewarned that we like our flares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
