Millwall game their flag day?

[Yellarbellyblade]

Heard rumours that the game at ours is their flag day, anyone else heard anything?

 

[Rodley]

nothing happens, it’s exactly the same as any other club except more SYPD.

Not true. They all bring a prosthetic leg to photograph in various locations around the city.

Millwall fan I work with says it'll be a big turnout, didn't mention 'flag day' just said they will likely sell out; so not looking forward to the train journeys that day.

 

[SwissBlade]

Ooohh I might chuck a few cheeky kidney punches about at this one

 

[Ricky]

Oh I am fucking terrified. We all know Millwall football fans are the hardest men in the world.

I thought they'd already had their little day out at Birmingham or Cardiff but if they've chose us again that's the third time in recent years isn't it?

 

[Pedro Verde]

Yeh mate Ive heard a word on the street but been told to keep schtum abaart it

 

[wizadry]

If they want another good hiding then let them have it, our coppers haven’t dealt an hammering out for atleast a week.

I'm trying to work out how 'FLAG' translates into 'dickless feral scrotes club together in numbers beyond their counting ability in order to drag their knuckles en-masse through town, occasionally stretching their simian arms out wide and furrowing their heavily protruding brows into aggressive scowls, while the civilised world picks up an astronomical policing bill which could be eliminated in an instant by forcing these creatures to sign in* at a police station 30 minutes after kick-off'

Went to Millwall for the first time in December. Couldn't believe how backwards and stuck behind modern times they were....right from the goal song to the pair of pricks popping up in different gangways with a fucking Ulster flag. Weird as fuck it was.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Flag Day? What good cause are they collecting for then?

 

[blade too long]

must have a dodgeball team as well as a football team

Thats fuck all
Should have gone in the 70s

[Trafford]

More like Groundhog Day - we hear this every year, as I suspect do most other clubs that they visit. I seriously doubt that the concept even exists, it's a myth concocted by opposing fans

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

I look forward trying to explain to my 6 year old why those people are so angry and what they're Cross with as we walk past them after turning left out of the Family Stand.

I'll probably mumble something about spilling something on their Stone Island jumper which cost them the equivalent of a weeks wage or losing their daft looking checked cap...

 

[Brian Blessed]

Thought they only did this at little towns / clubs where the locals aren't going to fight back.

Blades fans took a bleedin' liberty at their ground.

Went to Wembley with a Bradford mate for their playoff. He got tickets about thirty feet from their fans. What an afternoon of pure joy thanks to them. It was not dissimilar to spending an afternoon at Chester Zoo monkey enclosure just without the amusement factor.

For all I dislike Wednesday and Leeds fans, Millwall are a whole different level of fuckwittery in my opinion.

 

[beatific blade]

Leeds made Millwall fans collect their tickets from the police station this season

 

[Bayingblade]

Flag day? Does that mean they’ll be collecting for the Sally Army?

You heard correctly.

 

[FriethBlade]

Lad at work confirmed it, didnt know he was a Millwall fan until i saw him going for a run in a Millwall top. I told him I was a Blade and without me asking he said we play you lot soon and it's our flag day.

He then explained what 'it' is. They have a massive flag that has got the names of all their lads who have passed away on it. Its brought out once a year and apparently it's getting quite full !

How sentimental.
And I always thought it was when their top boys turned out in force to launch cowardly attacks on people trying to watch football matches to prove how hard they are.

Silly me.

Yes but will he still be counted in the attendance?

Some of you are getting angry over something we've not even done!

All 'Flag day' is, as far as I've seen, is an excuse for all the old hooligans to meet up for a day on the piss. It's already happened this season, at St Andrews. And far from there being lots of aggro, the old hooligans from both Millwall & Birmingham City had drinks together and simply reminisced.

Serious hooliganism simply doesn't happen anymore - due to cctv, smart phones and lengthy prison sentences. Well, certainly not en masse or anywhere near the actual stadiums or train stations. Anything you see in those places is simply anti social behaviour.

It's odd that such a small % of football fans generate so much interest / frothing at the mouth. Take us... Millwall are widely considered to be the 'worse' hooligan club in the country. Yet, at most we've got about 300 serious hooligans, compared to 24,000 members of the official supporters club.

In 2018 I don't know why people still care so much about the topic. If you are a normal football fan you are very unlikely to run into a hooligan or be attacked by one. It's not the 80s anymore. You are more likely to simply see anti social behaviour - but that's a different matter. Yeah, there are some idiots that go to football, but these days they are pretty harmless.

Ive followed Millwall since 1986; the last time I felt in danger at a football match was way back in 2009 when we played West Ham away in a League Cup match on a Tuesday night.

The most aggro I've seen at Millwall games is places like West Ham (every time), Birmingham City (1995), Stoke City (1998), Cardiff City (1999) and Everton (2006).

Rotherham fans go on about what happened a few seasons ago - but not one single punch was thrown in anger. Again, it was more anti-social behaviour. They threw coins, some our idiots moved towards them. That is all that happened.

I've always found trips to 'little' towns like Yeovil, Stevenage, Northampton etc. to very uneventful.

Have you ever been to Port Vale. I can’t see the local clayheads and the Millwall fans mixing too well.

I’ve done several trips now down to the New Den, and I think it is one of the grounds you are likely to get aggro at if you don’t travel by coach as there is a spot where both fans converge at South Bermondsey.

Might not be to the liking of a Millwall fan but I don’t mind Millwall at all, I see them as a true blue collar club who have stayed true to their roots and local community, and when i see the work they do within the local community whilst often goes unnoticed, they are undoubtedly a club that looks after own. I just think that they can get scapegoated by the press a little bit.
