Millwall fans at it already

[Houston_Blade]

Was the Billy penalty miss and the McGoldrick conversion the set of circumstances that brought about McG missing against the pigs? Would have been the cherry on the icing last season that.

 

[AWetFlannel]

What a game that was, quality away day all round.

I'll be heading down again and expect at least a couple of thousand will do the same.

Other side of That London (QPR West, ‘wall East), about 10 miles.

Yeah, it's about 11, so while it's unlikely you'll trip over Wednesday, the train stations might be a different matter!

 

[Blade56]

Yaaaaaawwwwwnnnnnnnn, well at least it’s a run out for our youngsters.

 

[BerksBlade]

Lets smash them mugs up & fill the den right up for it. Knock another Premiershit club out & cause upsets.

They serve Bovril in mugs at the Den? Classy.

Alas, yes.

 

[Hartley Hare]

After that Miwaaaw nutter punched a knife wielding terrorist a while back, I really don’t mind them anymore.

I thought that was me uncle Roy, when I saw the report. Roy Larner.

Turns out it was someone with the same name! - I should have known really, still it made as laugh in the family.

[Ainsley Harriott]

So will it be us or the pigs who play the Sunday?

Reactions:Millwall tel

Any draw for them is a shit draw, because at least half of the fixture will involve them!

Surely a good draw for them is anyone at home if Many U/ Man City/Arsenal/Spurs/Chelsea away?

Who else were they hoping for? AC Milan at the San Siro?

Millwall football ground is in South London, but Millwall is in East London. An early example of WimbledonMilton Keynesism along with Arsenal.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Not sure if this has ever been pointed out on any football forum ever but Millwall aren’t and never have been a “cockney” team whatever criteria* is used. The only two league sides are West Ham and, Truer cockernees being nearer to the church of St Mary de la Bow I believe, Leyton Orient.


*Other than “lager top” (shandy) drinkers which covers all of them Lahdeners. Gertcha!

Bermondsey is SE London. As is New Cross.

 

[Tezza1889]

Meh’ llwall

We’re are as excited as they are, the B team will play and we will focus on stopping up, call me cynical...

Back for this one
Be going out out wiv me wall mates
Um diddle diddle um diddle aye, me owd chinas
They got gaffs in Streatham

 

[Sheff de party]

To be fair it’s only on the Isle of Dogs isn’t it? I live in SE London technically but I’m about level with Millwall, just across the water. A big difference to MK Dons!

 

[Sheff de party]

So up for this one. Love it as an away day and very hopefully of a ticket. The facts it’s 20 mins walk from my house is also a factor, but last year one of my mates got so drunk he fell over on an escalator and broke a rib.

Another 4-5 Prem teams can’t make the next round already, even before any upsets. We really should be putting our best team out for the FA Cup now. We’re not getting relegated from this position.

 

[NuddysGloves]

3 straight London away games...We will fill Arsenal and Palace...prob lucky to take 500 to Millwall. They will offer us 3,500 too or could do due to the Cup regulations (15% is it)

Sounds like a great opportunity for all those who complain about loyalty points and being unable to get tickets for Tottenham/Man City/Liverpool/Arsenal to go see an away game then, we should sell out

 

[Dkc]

Not even sure Millwall will field a full strength side given their league position. Should be a good day out provided the kick off time isn't too daft. Can't see us and pigs being allowed to play on the same day, sharing trains to and from St Pancras

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Are clubs still supposed to give a 25% allocation in the cup? Seems like that has generally been eroded.
That said, dirties had 8k at Arsenal, which isn't 25% but is more than a normal allocation.
I guess safety etc reduces the allowances.
I wonder what 'wall will give us?

St Mary le Bow is on Cheapside (near the Bank of England) and in the old days you could hear the bells for a radius of around 5-6m. That would include Millwall.

In the old days....... you could probably hear them across most of London. In the mid nineteenth century.

Millwall haven't played in the Isle of Dogs since 1910.

Play a full strength team or near as damn it, get the club to take the competition seriously for once, make it cheap enough for a ticket with 3 London away trips on the bounce, don’t make it a daft kick off time or on a Sunday and I’ll go. Until this happens then they can bollocks, I’ll take it as seriously as the club and the competition organisers do.

My point was more that there are always people saying they can't get tickets to the glamorous away ties due to a lack of loyalty points so surely these people will take their opportunity to go to millwall away where the demand won't be so great.

Worth pointing out that the people that aren't in the higher bands of loyalty points won't have had 3 London away trips on the bounce....

But the new Den is nearer St Mary’s. Obviously you have to consider how far the bells could be heard at the time the definition of a ‘cockney’ was first postulated, otherwise it’s meaningless. Millwall, are a cockney club. Cockney doesn’t mean ‘east ender’ exclusively. The east end isn’t the only area within the sound of the Bow bells.

In fact, when the definition was first used, it covered the entire boundaries of the City of London. So all Londoners were cockneys. Similarly, in modern times, immigrants (particularly the Irish) used the term to describe anyone from a ‘traditional’ London heritage.

No disrespect mate but a cup game here or there is hardly going to cut into the top brackets of loyalty points, the system will only mean those at the top stay at the top, this is how you make fans lose interest and end up losing them full stop.

All the top clubs use a ballot system to keep all fans interested, if we want to keep our fanbase or even better look to make it bigger then it needs changing. Sorry for going off on a tangent.

I can’t remember us ever having 3 away trips to London on the bounce by the way, that’s one for the stattos our there.

The rainy seasons started hasn't it?

 

[BladeFisher]

Bermondsey is SE London. As is New Cross.

But it is not East London. That's the whole point. It was once but they moved south of the Thames around 110 odd years ago.

Charlton is also in South East London (as was Woolwich Arsenal) hence my comment.

They were in the Isle of Dogs till 1910. Given that to Londoners the North London/South London thing can be a bit of an issue - River Thames and all that - I would argue it is a big difference. As I heard a Spurs fan saying about Arsenal the other week........ grunt grunt they're not Nawwf Lundun they're Saarf Lundun, Woolich! (sic)
