Red Dave Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 According to the Millwall website, their north stand holds 2300 with the lower tier also holding a further 1500. It also says additional seats can be made available if necesssary.I am amongst many who are still hoping to travel but missed out on a ticket. D'oh.Does anyone have any idea whether more are likely to be released to us? I'm not sure how many we originally had. I note one post says around 2000 or so.RD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the OS has said we have sold out 2150 tickets. With NO more to be allocated or sold on the day WHATSOEVER. Travel to Millwall by all means. But don't expect to watch the game unless you want to pay at least double for a ticket. Or sign your own death certificate by going in the home end.

paulie Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Why would they want to restrict there revenue by not giving us more tickets? It doesn't make sense.they hve given us the top tier in the north stand ,they are not allowed to give us the bottom tier which holds a further 2000, it would b carnage.

brady bunch Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 millwall is basically ran by the police nowadays100% correct, like many clubs they have to run their plans for seating away fans past the local police. Because of the easy access to the pitch and opposing fans the local police would simply laugh Millwall out of the station if the even asked the question (which they won't, cos they know what the answer will be). Its a real shame because we could probably sell another 1000 tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB Cooper Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Why would they want to restrict there revenue by not giving us more tickets? It doesn't make sense.Because everytime they open the bottom tier, there is trouble.As someone said above, Millwall is run by the old bill. Since they built the walkway into the away end, it is now the safest ground in the country if you don't come looking for trouble as the Millwall fans just physically cannot get at the away fans. I prodict everyone on here saying 'it wasnt intimidating at all', 'Millwall aint what they used to be' etc etc, after the game.Yet they still go seriously over the top, especially for games like this.

The Casual Connoisseur Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 If we win tomorrow then I can guarantee that City fans will travel in numbers without tickets to Millwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB Cooper Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 db how high are the walls on the walkway?It is fenced from the station, elevated inbetween waste land (that no one can get on) and small warehouses, over a small bridge and straight into the away endMillwall fans cant get near it at all except at the station where the walkway meets the normal part. This is where problems have occured before as the OB ridiculously take away fans up the walkway, then hold them right next to home fans also using the station. Doubt they'll do that with you though.

They've put their foot down and said no. Its frustrating but theres nothing we can do about it. If you don't have a ticket, you wont get into the ground. As simple as.Millwall hoolies must be reading this and rubbing their hands in anticipation...thousands of City travelling without tickets for the game....

It will far easier to police a restricted area such as the bottom tier than it will be the back streets of Bermondsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthGlosRed Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Isn't it pay on the day for home fans anyway? , so OB won't want to risk loads of City trying to get in other parts of the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
