DATE FOR MILWALL

[coltefc]

2,200 allocation confirmed.

Absolute disgrace that mate, about time we grew some balls and demanded our full allocation.

 

[mightymoyes]

Low allocation that. Poor.

Yes around 500 less than it should be

 

[coltefc]

5.30PM SAT ON BBC

Most likely only get the upper

There goes getting the train out the window, last direct train to Lime st is 20.11

 

[N90]

2,200 for safety purposes but they let the game k.o at 5.30 after the lads have been on the ale all day. Baffled.

 

[mightyblues78]

but get shipped in and out on coaches in a police escort they aren't soft

It sounds like Everton did but there seems to be nothing clubs can do when the Police and the SAG collaborate. The same has happened to us at Anfield, and another good example is Arsenal in the Cup who are allowed to pick and choose when a 9,000 allocation is "unsafe". If Arsenal are playing Spurs, the RS, ourselves, they don't want a big vocal backing to help so they/the SAG play the safety card. But if they get a smaller club like Coventry they will give them the full 9,000 as they know they're still likely to cruise to victory.

With Millwall, it sounds like it happens to the other well supported clubs in the Championship too - Villa, Leeds.

True mate, plus I think the BBC want a shock hence why it's on live, any advantage to Millwall eh.

 

[N90]

Milwall capacity 20,146 so weve got just over 10% the club need to start throwing some weight about with our allocations

 

[evertonandchelmsford]

Nothing wrong with the allocation. Yes lower than cup rules but it's the same for every other team that goes away to Millwall. It has to be very well segregated.

Obviously the contradiction with the reasoning for the reduction and still allowing a late kick off. Would imagine they'll try to enforce a prohibition on any trains coming from the north west on the day!

Also, the Beeb will be issuing commemorative 50/50 scarves (half Millwall, half RS) to all their presenters/pundits for the occasion.

I wouldn't be surprised if the coaches are forced to meet before hand as well, so they run under escort. The late start time won't help with the ale however!

 

[maccavennie]

Imagine having a stadium where you've basically got to use a whole lower tier as some kind of safety barrier from the home fans.

Gang of scruffy beauts

 

[Lord Buckethead]

you'd have to be really lonely to be looking for a date for the Millwall on here.

The club have tried. Police refused. Can't do much more.

 

[adi dassler]

That's true, however a lot of old Millwall heads will come out of the woodwork for this.
Can see a lot of our younger support, the type who give it large because there away from the parents for the day, getting themselves in trouble if they go drinking in local pubs or getting the tube pissed

Don't think they'll get the chance mate. Those on the train will be met with a large police presence and escorted to the ground and the coaches will be rounded up and escorted in en masse straight to the ground.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of verbals and gesticulating, but very little actual bother unless people stay in London the night of the game
