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

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!!!!

It is, suprisingly (given stereotypes), the safest I have ever felt at an away game. Absolutely no chance for the fans to mix.


They have made an effort to become a family club by introducing a farm just outside the stadium. Although they have only managed to get to horses and dogs so far.

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!

Well...


Things have changed "fractionater" but it is still The Millwall, rough, ready & vocal


This article was written in 2002


I know they do work hard down there at the "Den" to move forward in a healthy & progressive way in all areas



Good luck to them though on Saturday




W**F

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.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
