Neil Harris about United and others

[SUFC Handsworth]

There is always 1 team almost every year that forces it's way in as the form team. Millwall are this years gatecrashers and are capable of getting good results from their remaining games.
I don't like anything about them but you have to give credit to a great end of season run. Lets hope we can do them Saturday.

Millwall haven't secured a spot in the play offs yet, and are due a defeat, if they lose to us with that run in they could have a serious stumble. Somebody else might yet have a late spurt to the end of the season!!!

All away fans are in the bottom tier this season.
The bottom tier has 2,990 seats but the safety committee have sectioned off the front 2 rows and sections near the corner flags.
So normally we give away fans 2,200 to 2,350 tickets but the Safety committee has only allowed us to give Millwall 1.539 tickets, which Millwall sold out a few days ago. They’ve requested the full 2,200+ but this has been refused and they have now appealed to the EFL, not sure when the EFL will make a decision but it needs to be soon. Sounds to me as though the SYP just want as few Millwall fans as possible, which is a shame.

Also on Saturday part of the top tier of the BLUT is being netted off and not made available for home fans.
Also home fans in that top tier won’t be allowed to leave through the normal turnstyles onto Bramall Lane.
Instead they will be forced to walk over to the corner stand and leave through the south stand exit.

It will be fun for the stewards on Saturday which everway the score goes,if they are downstairs.......................i predict a riot.

Fair play to Harris, as much as I (and most) dislike Millwall you can't deny they're doing incredibly well. If he manages to get them into the playoffs he has to be manager of the year.

That being said, his comment about the 2 home games been "sell outs" did get me thinking. And a quick trip to their website shows they're not even close to selling out either...

Aye? Why do you as a Sheffield United fan have a Millwall Ticket Site log-in?? Because that's the only way you can see that information. There's only two blocks that haven't sold-out for both games when I looked yesterday.

I don't have a login & you don't need one to see ticket sales.

Same as the United website, if you go to buy online tickets you can see a stadium plan of what seats/blocks are still available. There are plenty still up for grabs.

EFL decision

We’ve given Millwall an extra 100 tickets and they’re having a beam back to deter ticketless travellers.
So their allocation increases from 1,539 to 1,639 in a self contained stand holding 2,990.

Suspect the empty seats will be the front 5 rows, making it harder to invade the pitch.

Sadly for Harris and the team, their achievements will always be overshadowed by the behaviour and reputation of the fans.

Cant imagine Scudamore and the gang are relishing the idea of Millwall in the PL either. Theres literally no upside.

They've put up with small, unfashionable clubs with low crowds before; Wigan; Barnsley; Bolton, etc. But none of them brought the hassle and baggage with them. Imagine the damage to the “worldwide, global brand” when images of their knuckle draggers kicking off at Old Trafford, Anfield etc every week are beamed around the world. They cant even
market them with the “plucky underdog” card, because absolutely nobody holds any good will towards them. I could see the PL docking points for failing to control fans just to get rid of them.

If it pisses Scudamore off then I'd be more than happy to see Milwall go up (if it can't be us, that'd piss him off just as much)

 

[The Crab]

Pah! 6 Billion!!!!

Could a got Steve Austin for 6 million back in the day....

Wilders budget has been more..................

Good point well made!

 

[The Crab]

Good point well made!

I'm living proof that even a stopped clock is right twice a day

 

[grafikhaus]

Thought it were Wolves who spent 6 billion!

Wolves have spent less than Middlesbrough, Villa and Hull.

As I've posted elsewhere...



Fair play to The 'wall - spent even less than us! £0.8m? Could've had twelve-and-a-half Jordan Rhodes for that (but who'd take the penalties?)

Me too.
I hope we stuff em Saturday and go on to romp the playoffs.

But if it can't be us I want Millwall to do it.
