I know that Millwall FC has had a bad reputation in the past, but I was curious about how safe a ground it is to go watch a game?


I'm not a millwall supporter or anything, but anyone who travels to London bridge will pass the stadium, and its pretty close by....so just got me thinking?


Is it a hot bed of BNP supporters, and being asian would I face a torrent of racist abuse?

:))Its diabolical.


The moment they see a Non-White face they will hurl bricks and insults at you.


The insults are the worst.


They will ask you who the Millwall Reserve Goalkeeper is and if you do not answer correctly you will get an additional beating for supporting the Away side.


If Millwall are playing Bradford or Luton or Leicester they will just assume that you are not local and you will get another hiding within an inch of your life......other than that its all fine M8




NOW back in the real World, you will be FINE ...I've supported Millwall since 1961, 48 long hard seasons ago and I'm no longer even in the NF or BNP!!(that was a joke btw)....I've been to thousands of games and I can assure you that you will encounter no problems unless, like almost any other ground, you support the other side vocally, while sitting in the middle of the "Home" Millwall End!!


Millwall are doingtheir utmost to welcome all people so I can ASSURE you that you will not encounter any problems, my friend...


If you want to know anything more, then please ask me...

do yourself a favour and walk to the game, its all nice and well hopping off at sth bermondsey stn, but a quick nip through peckham brings you to the ground pretty quickly and you pick up the atmosphere and anticipation on the way, plus the odd pint. we,re flying high at the moment and while automatic promotion is unlikely, the play-off is more or less guaranteed, get your ass down there the more the merrier.

On the three occasions I went there (old den)...er, twice it wasn't especially.....but I'm West Ham ;-)


I've heard the same asked about West Ham who have a similar reputation for some BNP idiots and I've never seen any hassle for Black Supporter (a fair amount) or Asian Supporters (sadly, given the area less) but I am white so I think it's far harder for me to notice to be honest

Well you were in the middle of The Cold Blow Lane singing "Bubbles" with a Crow-Bar in your hand, which probably didn't aid "Entente Cordial"..B)

Been a couple of times with the Saints (might even be going again next season if we go down and Millwall miss out on promotion (this is if we still exist)

Never encountered any problems. If you are in the away part you tend to be shut in until the home fans have dispersed anyway. Never had a problem walking to of from the ground even in colours.


The club have done a lot to rid themselves of the past problems.

I've been several times but always as an away fan. Being a Gillingham fan I've never recieved anything but hostility, contemps and the odd mouthful of spit. Great fun.


To be fair though, it's not that bad. My missus came to the Den for an away game the day our daughter was due.

There's a game on Saturday isn't there?

When you wrote, "I'm not a millwall supporter or anything,", what else did you mean when you said "or anything".

You're not a Southampton supporter either?

You're not a piece of carpet?

You're not a llama?

Sorry, too much coffeeeeeee

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
