As an aside, Millwall averaged 1,400 away fans on their return to the Championship. Albeit after only two years away. That represented 12% of the average home support at the time. Which is a good ratio (again, especially as all-ticket & members only). If Charlton have a similar ratio this coming season, that’ll be a c1,900 to 2,000 average away following.Woodwork said:
To be fair, Millwall’s away support last season represented just over 7% ratio of the average number of home fans at The Den. That’s a good ratio. Not amazing, but not awful either. It’s about the average across the EFL. Especially when you factor in the fact that all Millwall away games are all ticket & members only, the northern nature of the division last season, & that Millwall have played nine consecutive seasons of Championship football.

I would, but Millwall fans aren’t that interested in stats. Charlton fans are. The amount of times I have seen it get lairy in pubs as Charlton & Palace fans shout insults at each other about attendances. Someone’s ribena & cheese & onion crisps went flying once.
Do one because Charlton fans aren't interested in Millwall stats either.
The post that confirmed it for me was when he started comparing performance from the turn of the century. Classic Millwall fan logic to apply selective date filters when looking at history. Think everyone's just bored of him now.2 -

I'm pretty sure you have to go back a few years for the last time Leeds failed to sell out an away game.ElfsborgAddick said:MillwallFan said:
They’ve got little supporters clubs all over the country. You see all sorts of Leeds flags, south coast whites, Romford whites, Derbyshire whites, loads of them. Glory hunters left over from their 70’s heydays or second generation glory huntersElfsborgAddick said:CombeMartin said:There's a lot of Leeds fans down here. Last year I was on a train to Leeds from Kings X on a Sunday. I was getting off at Doncaster for an exhibition, but it was packed with Leeds fans because they were at home.
More often than not when we have been playing at Elland Road, there has been more Leeds on the train from London than Charlton.
Whilst I don't particularly like going to Leeds and am still scarred from '87, I have to say that they have one of the best away followings in the country. When they have nothing to play for they still take thousands, fair play tbf.
No matter what division they're in, the day/time of kick off, how well or how badly they're doing, PL, championship, league one, they sell out everywhere they go.
Sunderland's support is really good too, especially given the distances they have to travel. But of course they are both huge clubs with massive support and belong in the Premier league.

We get it - your upset that the stats don’t read well for millwall so u r now trying to convince us that stats are for saddo’s - why bother? honestly take a look at yourself - if u were slightly humorous it might be worth it but your just embarrassing and probably gonna cause a problem for the other 2 who post on here, if u aren’t themWoodwork said:

Is it true that you cant buy a ticket for a Millwall away game without having a season ticket or being a member? Do they have to pay for membership or just be on the club's database? Seems fanciful to me tbh. Just curious, not having a dig at our resident Lions.0

14% of our Wembley demand to sell out Blackburn away. Easily done.
I realise you are joking, but I have been there when we have taken 200.
Barnsley away we tend not to do too well. Port Vale last season seemed quite empty.
Just hoping the excitement of the championship encourages more people to go.0 -

Yes it’s true. Was bought in after the play off riot in 2001 and has never been rescinded. And yes you have to pay for the membership. I’m a season ticket holder so not totally sure but I think the memberships are £35 now for the season. Even kids have to be members, or ‘junior lions’ as their membership scheme is called.YTS1978 said:Is it true that you cant buy a ticket for a Millwall away game without having a season ticket or being a member?

Mid 70s - less than a coach load down at the Dell in the game before they beat Man Utd in the cup final. The “ Agro Daddy” tried to keep spirits up by telling us more would be coming on the train… they didn’t. About the same period we often met with Spurs at Euston and their numbers were no better than ours but Chelsea used to fill the whole concourse.redbuttle said:

Just hoping the excitement of the championship encourages more people to go.Obviously you had certain clubs who took big numbers everywhere back in the day, the likes of Leeds, Man U, Chelsea. But they weren’t the norm. most clubs would only take big numbers away if it was a local game, or there was a lot riding on a certain game. (And bare in mind this was the days before we had play offs and a lot of these games were dead rubbers with a third of the season remaining.)I mean we took 400 up to Leeds for a midweek game this season, a few weeks after playing there in the cup (and taking over 2000 there for that). In the past, for a club of our size, that would’ve been seen as a fairly decent turn out, taking in to consideration the circumstances. But we got pelters for it at the time 🤷🏻0 -
I only went to one out of the four midweek home matches. Even as a season ticket holder for Charlton it’s hard to convince myself to go and be back home after midnight, when I can watch it on TV.Definitely think the new Sky deal will dramatically reduce home/away numbers for the midweek matches IMO for almost every club. Hard to justify sorting accommodation/travel and missing time of work for a midweek match when can just watch it on TV instead.0

Very few fans travelled by car nearly always coach or train . Think our supporters club man usually had about 120 tickets. my first long away cost £5 return to Carlisle on the train. To put it into perspective that was about the same cost as a southern region weekly Bexley - London season ticket and was 1/4 of my weekly wage2

I love the logic that you can prevent antisocial behaviour by ensuring that everyone in the crowd is definitely a Millwall supporter.5

I think they do it because Millwall have a minority that will travel for certain games and cause trouble. Every club has this to different degrees, but Millwall definitely have a larger minority than most and a history and reputation to prove it.MillwallFan said:
