I cant think of a better way to spend Boxing Day than watching the Wolves! It was the poorest performance from us this season and Millwall fully deserved the win. My first trip to a competitive match this season saw me making the journey to Bermondsey to see Millwall play Nottingham Forest in the Championship. Canning Town is only a 7-minute Docklands Light railway journey away, with regular Jubilee Line connections to London Bridge. Id argue that they knew Middlesbrough would be there and then they f----- off. As with the pub there didn't appear to be any threat of trouble. There we took the underground circle line to Moorgate, and then the Northern Line to London Bridge.

We left London Bridge for South Bermondsey at around 1.45pm as it is only one stop down the line, As you may know away fans have their own walkway from South Bermondsey Station, directly to the away end, so finding the ground was no problem. The match was a league game so held some importance. We almost, almost nicked it at the death though. We went back to London Bridge and here there was just a few police and we were able to get our train to Gatwick to fly home. The away fans are put in the top tier of the away end which I don't really like but I understand why they do it. The match tickets were very reasonably priced at 26. 7. There are quite a large number of home fans up for 'banter' As for the game itself we lost 1-0, a score line that quite honestly flattered us. As a visiting Bolton Wanderers supporter the trip to the new Den was eagerly awaited as I had missed the previous seasons fixture. The Muckers No problems with excessive queues for the toilets. The game was awful ( we loss ) however drinks and food was expensive paying 5 for some lager I never heard of really grinded my gear.

The Millwall stadium, the Den, is just four miles away from Charltons home ground and, as such, meetings between the two take on an added level of intensity particularly in the terraces. In the end, I got home at just gone 1am instead of 12 as expected. The stewarding I found surprisingly relaxed and no issue at all while as for the pie price you have to pay London prices. As I always say to my wife size isn't everything! We both really enjoyed our day at The Den. WebOvercrowding on the terrace holding the Millwall fans forced police to open security gates to allow supporters onto the pitch side to avoid a crush in the oversold terrace. Considering our train from London Bridge to South Bermondsey was ten minutes late, myself and about 300 other Ipswich fans missed the opening five minutes. I recognise that my experience might have differed had I been there as a Forest fan and not a neutral, but the most important thing was that at no point did I feel intimidated or threatened both within the Millwall ground or around the Millwall fans, which would seem to bear out the good work the club has done to quell the hostility around it. The home fans are extremely loud, and so is the PA system. myself, mymrs, my mate & hismrsmade the trip by car. The train took about 4 minutes to get to London Bridge where we got off. But on the other hand you have with Millwall a reputation tarnished by a history of hooliganism and a hostile welcoming to away fans, But I decided I had to go someday so why not now? The only real option for away fans is by train. Why you were looking forward to going to the ground (or not as the case may be): We weren't planning on going to this game at all. Until Chris told them, Well you better watch it because were f------ Millwall. To test how f------ Millwall he really was, the drinkers began interrogating Chris on his knowledge of the team. The area under the stand were these are situated is very dark and mainly made of concrete but as soon as I took my seat in the North Stand (upper tier) I was really impressed with the view as well as the turn out from the rest of the Wimbledon fans. I must admit I didnt do much hanging around before going into the ground, but I didnt feel I had the time to as I had to collect my ticket from the box office first which actually didnt take long at all and buy a programme for 3, the Millwall version of which is a very smart and well-designed small glossy magazine.

This simple looking stand has the same characteristics as both ends with windshields to either side in the upper tier and with the upper tier slightly overhanging the lower tier. Something to do with the Millwall fans's fearsome reputation perhaps! A great day out. Seating was adequate and there is a good view. It was quite distracting/amusing when trains appeared behind the corner flags maybe just me! With that in mind I wasnt overly worried about going to The Den although I did have the advantage of not going as an away fan, I guess. For obvious reasons, away fans are advised to keep drinking around the ground to a minimum.
