Harry Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 I appreciate that a lot of their ‘non-violent’ fans are hoping for a peaceful day and respects for their owner. However, they have a large number of fans who will still be looking for trouble. In fact, I’ve heard from some Millwall fans that they think today is all their Christmasses come at once, with ‘Bristol’ fans not being allowed to use “cowards way”. Could get quite interesting. Post-match certainly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also suspect one block or one higher and lower of segregation in the circs could be an interesting one to police and steward..hopefully I'm wrong but it's a bit cavalier isn't it. Told a couple of friends who support other clubs and they were..surprised. I hope it all passes off respectfully and smoothly. On a little side note, ha puts some of our restrictions with the Atyeo a few years back into perspective a bit doesn't it. Granted this is a one off for special reasons I'm sure.

I think both you and @Harry are right weirdly! If it wasn’t for the Chairman memorial aspect I think this would definitely be high risk, but with some mutual respect this may calm it all down. That said, it won’t take much encouragement from either side for things to kick off. Millwall view on it seems just as mixed actually from reading their forum. On the pitch I think it will be fairly even, would take a draw now TBH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post-match certainly. I'm very surprised City agreed to splitting the stand - if they were consulted, which they surely must have been. Millwall fans were constantly trying to get at us from a side stand last time I was there, and that was with us in the top tier, so hard to imagine it'll be much different today. Their stewards took very little action to stop them btw, their fans seemed to be able to do what they liked with minimal intervention. Their owner dying is of course very sad, and right that due respect should be shown (but why not against Reading in the week?) but it shouldn't lead to actions being taken that may heighten the risk of trouble or undermine security and safety for the away fans. With the train strike as well, it looks like the perfect opportunity for those looking for trouble, and we know there are plenty of those at Millwall. I'd like to feel that somehow today will go without incident and those going will be on here later saying everything was fine. I'd be pleasantly surprised if that's the case, unfortunately.

It’s not the segregation inside the ground which is of concern. It’s the streets outside afterwards which I gather will carry the most danger. Lots of ‘naughty’ Millwall have been rubbing their hands with glee at this rare opportunity. Sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the segregation line is policed and stewarded correctly then yes. Otherwise maybe not 100 pct. Outside a bigger risk I agree, dunno if the rail strikes will also heighten this. We have some supporters of our own too who could be an issue too in theory, all clubs do. Not all one way. I'm stating the obvious of course.

Yep, but that's because it's Bristol City and not the likes of Reading or Norwich for example. The same applies to in the ground and that's why I'm also concerned about the segregation. There's a reason that stand is always away fans only - the number of Millwall fans always looking for trouble. City and Millwall have a long history that the officials of both clubs, and those responsible for ground safety, should be well aware of. Splitting the away end didn't have to happen, would they have contemplated doing it if Chelsea or West Ham were today's visitors? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only away fans only but to many clubs Top tier of that stand only! Norwich get the Bottom tier at times, unsure who else but it's noteworthy when a club do.

No probs, I discovered this way back when I used to commute fairly often. Also another fun fact for commuters, when you claim you can get it paid to your own bank account - so even if you travelled for work and they paid for it, you can still claim the money for yourself. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
