I remember going to the Den in early 80's to see Charlton in a "friendly" and standing in home end by F Troop with there surgical masks. When i lived in New Cross I drove as you could park in the car park behind the away end in old Den. For this season's Away fixture i'll go via train and do the long wait and be kettled down the tunnel onto the station platform rather than walk out of the ground into New Cross. I saw Millwall back in the day up to no good attacking fans at London Bridge, I don't antiscapte trouble on Sept 14th but will be driving to avoid Charlton station and Floyd rd
There'll not be any trouble on the 14th mate, it'll all be very relaxed.
Yes its what i said ! ok I spelt antiscapte wrong ! I just don't want to get the train back with obnoxious Millwall fans
On the 14th you'll almost certainly not be on a train with any horrible spanners, I promise you that.
Most spanners will leave the ground after about 60 minutes when they go 4 nil down.
With any luck they won’t be allowed to leave early as hopefully they’ll be kept behind after the game for 45 mins - 1 hour as we’ve had to previously at there place.
There was plenty of talk about how expensive our matchday ticket prices were this season, but I don’t think many expected we’d see over 22,000 at each of our home games so far.
And could have been a lot more with reasonable prices. Glad to see block H means tickets can still be bought for £30 adults but these are selling at one or two per day.
Just two days on from when that ‘over 20k sold’ message was put out but looking at seat availability I’d surprised if there are more than 5k left. That’s obviously a really rough guesstimate by me because I didn’t actually count the red seats showing (or the shaded ones 😉) of course but we probably have at least passed the ‘over 21k sold’ mark. If so, I would have thought some more, even daily, updates to try and create a bit of urgency to buy tickets is worth trying for this match. I definitely think 24-25k will be achieved, unless we can push towards 23k+ by this weekend, in which case 25+ will be seen for the match as waiverers decide to join the party and jump in.

I hope I'm wrong but I don't think that will happen. I expect the Police will want to clear the 3,000 Millwall fans away from the area before letting out the thick end of 20,000 of us.

They did that to us a few years ago - let Millwall out first, and we were only allowed to leave in direction of Woolwich, no access to Charlton Station.

It was not. I've never been more annoyed after a game... I was so pissed off I wrote a strongly worded letter for the first time ever to Mick E! I remember trying to help an elderly fan trying to walk up Charlton lane struggling for breath. Absolute joke.
Club if you are reading.... DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!! Or I will get my pen out again.

I could understand it if the policy was consistent to get the away fans out the ground if this also included us being allowed to leave The Den first but I don’t understand why policy would always be to clear the Millwall fans out first regardless of who the home team is just make a policy home or away fans out first and make it consistent both grounds.

Agree. Was one of the worst things the club has ever done to it's "customers". Presumably it was the Old Bill's idea, but there was no real explanation, justification or apology. It just happened and we had to lump it. Absolute disgrace.

We must be the only club in the country to do it. Never heard of it before or after.
Brings me back to the game pre Covid where they done us in the last minute at their place. We got kept in the pen in the pissing rain after to find the Millwall fans staying on the platform and not boarding the trains to purposely hold us up being released. C**ts.

I remember seeing Golfie very unhappy and venting his spleen to the police manning the exit to the back path. I also remember the PA saying to our fans not to bother trying to open the chained up gate at the side because we wouldn't be able to open it. Two minutes later it was open!
i agree - millwall should be held back, not us - only happened the once - should never happen again
No set of fans should be held back. The OB will no doubt deploy additional resource for this match that will be badly needed uptown. They will want everyone to clear the stadium and fuck off asap so they can redeploy to tackle the ‘fascist’ and ‘anti-fascist’ protest marches. Having both sets of fans come out at the same time to merge getting to the station will be more easier to kettle and manage.

You honestly believe Millwall fans didn’t board trains, just to hold Charlton fans up? While holding themselves up in the process?? Come on mate.
Truth is it can take 3 or 4 trains to clear the home fans at south Bermondsey after a big game so it was probably just the last of the fans waiting to get on the train so they could get home like everyone else.

i'm not bothered whether they do or not but it probably does make sense to hold the away team back because there will definitely be skirmishes if they don't - too much passion in this game for there not to be even if we probably do all know loads of them and vice versa - the home team should never be held back

I don’t believe, I saw it with my own eyes….fans not boarding trains and turning round pulling wanker signs at the Charlton fans. They knew exactly what they were doing. But you wouldn’t know that mate because you drive to most games like you said previously 🤫

I’m sorry, I don’t believe that mate. Not saying you’re a liar, but definitely mistaken. they probably wasnt boarding the train because it was full. Why would they delay getting home themselves to delay Charlton fans getting home? And they’ve made a group decision to do that? Come on 🤣
and yeah, I do drive to MOST games, as I said, most games. Not all games. And the reason I drive mostly is because getting home on the train can be a nightmare. I’ve stood at south Bermondsey for over an hour after a big home game waiting to get on the train. Or maybe it was because Millwall were deliberately not boarding the train because they wanted to hold the away fans up? 🤦♂️🤣

That was an absolutely unbelieveable decision. As if we need extra humiliation after we play that lot.
Who knows, it could well have been seen as a 'success' and they'll do it again on the 13th. They seriously had better not - they wouldn't do it with any other club. It's utter bollox!

I have actually made contingencies for the likelihood of us being held back and blocked from access to Floyd Road. I have no faith they will do it differently this time. Maybe they see us as a soft-touch.

I reckon you have a rogue trainspotting element in your support!
It must be so hard not being able to just be yourself, jotting down engine numbers... peer pressure? I say peer bullying! And then having to cover your "tracks" with a few Nescafe signs.
