I have seen various football posts/threads on this forum, but nothing dedicated to Millwall. That suprises me somewhat, considering East Dulwich is in south London and we are in the play-off final on saturday. Got my tickets and can't wait to go and support my team(again!) Surely there must be others who have spent 5 hours queueing for tickets, and would like to share this experience etc. Please add all related comments to this thread: WE ARE MILLWALL, SUPER MILLWALL, WE ARE MILLWALL, FROM THE DEN

My son will be going, as will three of his school friends and he's bought a very large flag.


We're not really a Millwall family but I agree it is an exciting event and they are local!

Having been to Millwall twice I can say that it's one of the best stadiums I have been to in terms of atmosphere and noise generated. The stands are really close to the pitch and away supporters get a great view (unlike Brentford and Charlton).


However.......fans are sooooooo chavvy!! I know all clubs have a chav element but Millwall seems to have a lot more than most!


My views have been influenced somewhat by the 5-0 reverse over my two visits this season (I am a little bitter) and I'm not judging A Moon in any way!!!!

Oi PGC! We have scones in Yorkshire too! And a proper Barnsley Chop is serious food, unlike that pie and mash thing with the green snot running all over it!


Would rather have Millwall than Swindon in the Championship, but would try to be out of the country for the Millwall v Leeds fixture...

Don't you think that's a bit negative? If everyone thought that, we wouldn't have any fans left, let alone be able to sell 40,000 wembley tickets

Just like to say that I am not a 'chav', just a passionate supporter, which is something millwall fans possess more than most other fans, pure passion for their team.

Well as a City fan I went to the Den two or three times and every time I saw trouble. So I tried the New Den and we were held in the ground for an hour afterward while there was a bit of a riot outside, then got an escort to South Bermondsey treading through broken bottles and bricks. No police waiting at London Bridge though, cheers lads.


So as I say, I've tried. Ironically I quite like the club and understand it works hard on community relations etc but experience has put me off. I'll try again at some point.

Luckily (maybe), the two times I have been we have lost and therefore the home fans have gone away happy.


The second time we did get held back for an hour whilst the crowd dispersed and when we got out we had some 8 year old tell us 'it's a good job we won else you would have been beaten up by now'.


Even though I felt safe in the stadium, some poor steward who took a few punches from the natives probably did not feel the same!


Nothing wrong with passion - but this seems to become aggression quite quickly.


Good luck in the Play Offs - I personally think you will hammer Swindon, especially if your midfield is on form again. Danny Schofield, on his day, can skip past any player with the ball seemingly stuck to his foot!


I imagine you will have some passionate exchanges with Cardiff and Leeds next season. So that will be nice!

Is it safe for a black or asian person to attend a Millwall game?


Are we likely to get racist abuse thrown at us or is it all cleaned up these days?


**I'm assuming that the black or asian person would be supporting Millwall and not cheering for the away side...that's obviously asking for trouble!

All away fans get held for a while after a match until the crowd has dispersed. But the same thing has happened to me when I've travelled away with Millwall. The police don't want to take any chances so keep the fans segregated. I've been a supporter for years & never been involved in any trouble. Certain other teams supporters (no names!) are coming to the den looking for trouble & are only interested in antagonizing our fans, who retaliate, then get a bad name.

It is nice to know that there are forum members who don't actually support Millwall but still want them to win on saturday. Really hope we will have something to celebrate.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By Sue · Posted

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      By theweekend · Posted

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
