I was always told to treat a woman like a 99 ice cream. Don't you mean a 69 ice cream? I have never had a 69 , i wouldn't mind trying one of them.

Oh Christ, everyone's shitting bricks again. We heard all this bollocks when Birmingham had 3,000+ here the other week & fuck all happened then either. They'll get rounded up coming out the station, we wunna see 'em 'till they're in the ground, we'll then get a few "You facking cants" aimed in our direction before they toddle off back home. It's not the gimps that'll come up by train you need to bother about, as you say they'll get put in the Terrace and bussed up to the ground. Check out Youtube to see the shenanigans with a couple of mini busses at Huddersfield. The Harvester/ Holiday Inn car park might get a bit lively come 5pm Saturday. It's always the mini buses / coaches you need be wary of. Too easy get tracked on a train. Wrapped up when you get there, go in the Terrace etc.

Go have a good look through there forum, it's absolute comedy gold... The bloke who made the weird whippet comment that got copied onto here posts throughout the week telling people what he's having for his lunch in between calling anyone other than Millwall fans cunts, nonces or shit eaters... Started a thread asking which politician people would gas if they could pick only one. Makes some of the weird shit posted on here seem normal. I remember some Stoke hooligan once say of Millwall, “They’re not hooligans, they’re animals”

The Old Kent Road on way to the Den used to be intimidating. They really did not give a shit about numbers. They just went for it. Good times with many laughs, but always glad to get back to train at Euston. Hi Few of us walked down it years ago, got in the ground late, think we lost 3-2, big fight on new cross? Station after the game.

South Bermondsey sounds like a hoot. South Berm is alright as it goes, the football ain't all that this season. Started off quite positive where M'Boro and Leeds were happy to get a point, Derby & Villa (with Bruce) were comfortable wins, after that we've lost our way a bit, a lot of long ball that comes straight back with us eventually conceding. The manager then changes it tactically and we look almost a decent championship side, get back into the game only to concede late on. I live in hope for Saturday but not holding my breath, should be a good day out just before Christmas with lots already on holiday. I was with a client months ago when millwall were at home to cardiff on a friday night. we were stuck in traffic all the way from the ancient forresters, past the stanley, that cafe on the corner, and then greggs before kick off. I'd never seen so much grey trackie action. I like a bit of edge, but lets hope this saturday isn't a bit too much.

They'll turn up to try and get a 'result', as we've featured quite a lot in the press recently, for all of the wrong reasons. Hope I'm wrong but can see it being carnage on Saturday. It will be a big turn out from our lot of nutters, so is likely to be very messy. Stoke will be very busy if they try their luck in town.

Generally 900-1,500 will travel, more when it’s a decent fixture and local plod or the home club don’t restrict us, Stoke is a decent fixture. The club will only run 1-3 official coaches - most go by train, car, mini bus or even private coaches, these last two can work quite well as the OB don’t often know of our whereabouts. Not that anyone is up to no good, it’s just that we don’t like being told what to do or where to drink.
Most of our support is between 30 and 60, although more women & kids are coming along and that 60 is getting higher as the seasons pass.
Out of the 1,500 you will be lucky to see more than 20 Millwall football shirts unless it’s the youngsters, we don’t wear colours.
The Met Police travel with us every game
No one will sit, no one will ever look at their ticket for their correct seat - you go where you want
We will go mental when (if) we score
We rarely sing more than 3 songs - one of which consists of only 1 syllable
We are well used to being called knuckle draggers, Neanderthals, morons, scum, some will act up to the stereotype
We are from South East London - not East, not West not North.
Football supporters get treated poorly by the police, for Millwall, due to past reputation and local wannabe youngsters acting up so to boast to their mates we get a fair bit of attention. Some police forces adopt special tactics for us, at best this is confrontational, we are used to being told to fuck off back to London you cockney cunts, we are used to being pushed around. If the policing is relaxed, it will be boisterous but peaceful, if the policing is as above we will react.
None of the above is a complaint, it’s just how it is.

I've had many a cracking away day at Millwall, the Millwall fans I've met over the years (including the HR Director of my company) have all been nothing but decent. There's no difference between Millwall fans and Stoke fans, mainly decent working class people, with a minority (albeit a decent sized one) of old school lads plus some young wannabes, the type that make me cringe every time I go to an away game these days. I hope you have a good day on the piss, and I hope you're beaten naturally. But more importantly if there is trouble, I hope its between the people who are interested and away from the ground where some of us will have our kids with us......

Genuine question, why do you reckon Millwall have always had their deserved reputation for being, shall we say, a bit lively? There have been instances of crowd trouble at Millwall going back years, well before it became widespread in the 60's and 70's. Wasn't there an instance of the old Den being closed due to crowd trouble in 1920's? What is it about SE London that makes them so uppity when it comes to football? Most clubs have had their moments at some time or other but with Millwall it seems to have been the norm from day one almost.

Just hope Millwall keep out of Stoke like virtually every other club does. It will be well policed though, especially after our terrible behaviour against Vale.

Generally safe and very London. Yes similarities with both clubs in respect of it's working class roots and perhaps over the years not being fashionable in the football sense. Us being in London has always meant there being a lot of competition and our geographical location has given us a bunker mentality, transport links to South East London were always poor, giving fortress SE London. This almost reinforced during the 60's with gangland stuff, Krays East London, Richardson's our manor, it's us and them. Our 'no one like us we don't care' didn't really came from football more a political thing tied in with the docks and our area, easily taken up and applied to the club.

He is a journo in Ireland now, fell out big time with Jack Charlton when he was managing them. In fact Charlton wouldn’t do any press conferences if Eamon was in the room. I met him once as a player, we were on our way to Doncaster, the team used the same train as the support, Dunphy the fiery little Irishman grabbed my mate by the throat and accused him of nicking his fags and lighter. How times have changed. Crowd trouble and Millwall have always gone hand in hand, the reasons why are fairly complex. As I said in a previous post South East London has up until recently almost been a forgotten part of the capital, Millwall geographically is the closest ground to the City, yet developers have filled their boots from the 70’s onwards with the West, North and East. I have always thought that poor transport links is part of this, meaning no underground, over ground trains which are not nearly extensive as the tube or there are busses on the increasingly clogged roads. Add to this the way the local authority truly fucked up housing by wiping out vast areas of streets and building Sky blocks that fell apart after 25 years. This modern day or post war. This doesn’t really address the distinctive mentality of this corner of London that has always had an edge and been prepared to ‘ave it with one and all. I’m not really talking modern day here, although without the authoritative and intrusive cameras many would definitely step up and still do. Bristol came last season into Bermz, early in their minibuses to drink in our pubs, it didn't end well for them. As a consequence our game at their place a few weeks back got moved to 1:30 on a Sunday, the advanced party on the Saturday night in Brizzle had a bit of fun. So to an extent the uppity as you put it still exists. There is an almost unique culture and identity that falls within a few boroughs of our manor, this identity is passed on through families despite many moving away. When you consider there are four clubs with a 5 mile radius, unassuming Charlton wombling Wimbledon, suburban Palace and then us. How can we be so different? I get everyone wants to be special or different and to a point every club is, probably not quite like us though, don’t want to get carried away here as this is a Stoke forum and there is not enough room to analyse the culture and subculture of the following of my club. Although I could quite easily expand all of this...zzzzzzzz This isn't meant to be a punchy post, I'm sure all will be fine on Saturday other than our lot on the pitch surrendering and you helping yourself to all the points.

When you consider there are four clubs with a 5 mile radius, unassuming Charlton wombling Wimbledon, suburban Palace and then us. How can we be so different? I get everyone wants to be special or different and to a point every club is, probably not quite like us though, don’t want to get carried away here as this is a Stoke forum and there is not enough room to analyse the culture and subculture of the following of my club. Although I could quite easily expand all of this...zzzzzzzz This isn't meant to be a punchy post, I'm sure all will be fine on Saturday other than our lot on the pitch surrendering and you helping yourself to all the points. Appreciate the considered response. Some interesting points there, ones which I'd not previously thought of. I've followed Stoke for coming up for 50 years now, home and away. I was a young lad in the 70's when hooliganism was at it's height. I saw it up close and personal on many occasions following Stoke away. Apart from the likes of Crawley, Stevenage and such late arrivals to the EFL I've seen Stoke at all the established grounds in all four divisions. I'd say Millwall had an almost unique atmosphere. There's always an air of menace about the place like no other ground, particularly at Cold Blow Lane. No matter how hard you tried to mingle or blend in and avoid any sort of nonsense you always felt like you stuck out like a sore thumb. Almost guaranteed you'd get sussed at some point. The only other place I'd say was similar in the 70's & 80's was probably trips to Liverpool or Everton in that you'd more than likely get sussed out. The difference being at Millwall you'd get a good slapping, with the bin dipping car thieves there was a chance you'd get slashed. (Didn't Millwall come unstuck at Everton in the early 70's in a FA cup game?) Anyway we're older and wiser now (hopefully) and the worst excesses of the 70's are just distant memories thankfully. Enjoy the game but not the result Saturday.

Is that lad who tackled those Islamic nutters and got put in hospital coming on Saturday (Roy?). If he is he should walk around the pitch at half time and get a round of applause He's a racist degenerate. First I’d heard. Where’s your proof? You saying what he did tackling armed terrorists wasn’t brave?

Harry Cripps and Co was my generation, a great time back then, and yes Eamon Dunphy’s book was probably ahead of its time. He is a journo in Ireland now, fell out big time with Jack Charlton when he was managing them. In fact Charlton wouldn’t do any press conferences if Eamon was in the room. I met him once as a player, we were on our way to Doncaster, the team used the same train as the support, Dunphy the fiery little Irishman grabbed my mate by the throat and accused him of nicking his fags and lighter. How times have changed. Crowd trouble and Millwall have always gone hand in hand, the reasons why are fairly complex. As I said in a previous post South East London has up until recently almost been a forgotten part of the capital, Millwall geographically is the closest ground to the City, yet developers have filled their boots from the 70’s onwards with the West, North and East. I have always thought that poor transport links is part of this, meaning no underground, over ground trains which are not nearly extensive as the tube or there are busses on the increasingly clogged roads. Add to this the way the local authority truly fucked up housing by wiping out vast areas of streets and building Sky blocks that fell apart after 25 years. This modern day or post war. This doesn’t really address the distinctive mentality of this corner of London that has always had an edge and been prepared to ‘ave it with one and all. I’m not really talking modern day here, although without the authoritative and intrusive cameras many would definitely step up and still do. Bristol came last season into Bermz, early in their minibuses to drink in our pubs, it didn't end well for them. As a consequence our game at their place a few weeks back got moved to 1:30 on a Sunday, the advanced party on the Saturday night in Brizzle had a bit of fun.

Sorry but I feel uncomfortable with all this chest swelling bragging.
Feels like pre war justification for being a member of the Hitler Youth. Brain washed animals are just brain washed animals. If you want to defend your manor, stay there and let ordinary people get on with living a decent life free from THUGS.
Tin hat on.
