As I said, this thread should be renamed back to Relegation watch now.

Yeah, nearly as comical as all the boycotting Charlton fans that have started jumping through all the justification hoops to start attending again now that a play-off spot is on the cards.
Anyone would think that football fans are a fickle bunch.
Funnily enough yesterday I got heckled by (what Im guessing was) a Millwall fan. Was wandering down the road in my CAFC jacket minding me own business, when a slightly gruff looking chap blurted "Plymuff!" at me just as he passed me. I was pretty bemused for a few seconds as my first thought was "blimey youre far from home...", only to twig that the accent he had would suggest he wasnt actually a "plymuff" fan, but most likely a millwall fan, there are few floating around in Woolwich where I live.
Another example of how much they dont care about us, yet they seem to pay enough attention to the league below them and the intricacies of play off race in it.

It's no different to the disproportionate number of Charlton fans that tuned in to watch us on Saturday.

I'm sure the irony isn't lost on you, though
Tbf, boycotting takes proper commitment. It's something I couldn't do, but fully respect those who do. Falling off the wagon during playoff fight is more than understandable. It's nothing to do with being fickle as I'm sure you know ;-)
There were those on this forum supporting you in your fight to keep your ground, so having a dig a those here fighting for our club seems a bit petty @MillwallFan (albeit written in jest maybe?)
I have my own personal reasons why I loath The Spanner’s and will till the day I die.....so I’m absolutely delighted in their failure to attain a play-off spot. Fuck ‘em!

Of course I know. I just wasn't going to sit back and have an accusation levelled at us when a comparable thing was happening at your place
I'm completely with you on @MillwallFan being petty. There was no need for it

I may be one of the few Charlton fans on here who was 'brought up' as a Millwall fan.
I have fond memories of The Den in the 60's. I remember one match that Millwall won 2-1. The first goal was scored just before half time, the winner just before full time. JS missed both goals, and when I asked him why he slipped away just before the whistle he told me he had to make the tea. I feel it's possible it was a different sort of liquid refreshment he was after.
The boardroom was totally unlike the rest of the ground. Wood paneled, with a table laden with food in the centre of the room, and an old school wooden board on the wall showing the half time scores. It got noisy and smokey, but as a seven or eight year old it was quite exciting to be allowed to be there, and I got to meet football figures from that era including Tommy Docherty. At the time there was no obvious rivalry with Charlton, who were always a league (or two) above.
Oh, I also remember there was a toilet just off the boardroom, and it was like a tin pan, with no flush. I'm sure I was told there was a problem with the plumbing because the ground was built between the railway tracks, so there was no mains water drainage or something?
My recollection of matches at The Den is not quite so rose tinted and I attended quite a few back in the early sixties when my uncle (a Charlton fan) used to take me to both The Valley and The Den.
Always found the place to have an overtly aggressive feel with middle aged men the culprits just as much as the obvious teen groups. My first real experience of every sentence starting and ending in the word fuck. Before anyone says it’s an urban myth. Yes I did see grown middle aged men brawling with each other. Not every week of course but often enough. Also remember the posters at all the exits warning of ground closures should there be any trouble. It was a dreadful place and full of dreadful people. As far as I can tell it still is.
Glad the playoffs are now not going to happen for Millwall. Just like every other season I hope next season sees them relegated.

Detest everything about the scummy club.
Can't beat a wild exaggeration to completely nullify your argument
So much hate emanating from someone that portrays themselves as being a caring person. It's become somewhat of a trend now
Not all good news of course for us, but it's actually been a pretty successful season for South London/NW Kent, with Hodgson's turnaround job, Millwall overachieving, Wimbledon staying up (and seeing MKD go down) Welling and Bromley doing pretty well in the league (and Bromley getting to Wembley), and Ebsfleet and Dartford in the playoffs for promotion.

Grrrrrr to you, too.
'Full' would suggest that everyone fell into that category. It's patently obvious that, although an exaggeration, it's still an untruth.
Frothing at the mouth wont change the fact that you're wrong.
My neighbour is from bermondsey originally (a bermugee as i call them), he has a season ticket and admits that, in his own words 'the ground is full of very embarrassing people' and when Leeds or someone turns up, that only increases with grown men standing there giving it all the throat cutting and hold me back nonsense for 90 minutes. He takes his son (the only reason he still goes) and gets genuinely embarrassed.

All clubs need a rival for a local derby so I don't get all this hate for Millwall. Would rather be in the same league as them than not.

I don't hate Millwall (have little choice as all my in-laws are Millwall fans and my missus is from Deptford) - it's just banter.
Now if we're talking about the stripey c........?

The millwall of the thread title has to have a reason behind it.
If we went on the millwall forum and saw a thread near the top that said "charlton watch"
The feedback would be
"What a joke...they're obsessed!"
