Blackpool's record of events is correct - we were in that pub before the game and i walked past it after on my way to a party in a hotel on the way to waterloo - my wife has worked in the natwest at borough market for over 20 years now, including a lot of saturdays and could tell you a different story about your 'element' avoiding the area
Total rubbish. I have a family member who passes through the borough for every single home game (bar midweek games) and he says there’s never any of our ‘hooligan element’ (or whatever you want to call it) around there. For the reasons mentioned above. Apparently London Bridge and the Borough has more CCTV than any other part of London. I don’t know how true that is but it’s certainly well watched as it’s very touristy around there now. Why would our thugs go and cause trouble there knowing they’re going to be filmed and subsequently arrested? Which is exactly what happened to those Charlton fans on the Bunch of Grapes which sort of proves my point. It is the area away fans are advised to go to if they want a pre match pint. So sorry mate, I’ll say it again, total rubbish.
You can never say never. I'd suggest what you are saying is total rubbish.
Do you know the area? Do you ever pass through the area on a match day? Im sure you do but if you don’t then I would highly recommend it. It’s great for a pre or post match pint and a bit of street food from the market. All the away day guides recommend it for games at Millwall. Go there before the game at ours later in the season, you’ll see what I’m on about. You’ll see Millwall fans passing through, but I highly doubt you’ll see any thugs roaming around looking for a row. As I said before, I drive most of the time but on the few occasions I train it (probably 3 or 4 times a season) I always get out at London Bridge for a bite and a drink at the borough. Never a seen our ‘element’ there. Not in the last ten years or so at least anyway.
My warm spanner chum, please don't be offended but you're getting on the defensive now.
Of course I'm familiar with the area but drinking there is out of my price range, the Woolwich boozers work for me.
With all due respect, your family member saying there's NEVER any of your geezers there has to be cobblers.

I’d say it’s close to never. For the reasons mentioned. The thing these people fear the most is getting arrested. Gone are the days when you get a fine and a slap on the wrist. It’s serious jail time these days. London Bridge and the Borough are far too risky on that front. Cameras everywhere.
Anyway, enough of that old bollocks. Just a week now. Buzzing for it. Love a local derby 😁

I think the context is that for non football people or those not following the specific match all groups of loud supporters can look intimidating.
I think the relative difference between hardcore hooligans and loud / bit drunk supporters is lost on many.
Supporters don’t see themselves as others see them.

So the video the other year where your lot clashed with Pompey at London Bridge, which was an arranged meet, was a myth was it? Or was that not your hooligan element? Maybe it was your ornament collecting element.
I’m not in the know or anything, nor would I wish to be, but I’m pretty sure that if two groups of hooligans are going to pre arrange a big punch up they’re not going to do it in a mainline station (or surrounding areas) where every inch of the place is covered by cctv.
🤣 🤣 🤣 you literally respond to every single mention of Millwall and their ‘hooligan element’ with an air of authority and arrogance ffs.

So Charlton fans giving their own experiences and he ‘doesn’t believe them’ is right ?
A week to go and probably heading for 26k on the day I suspect with more blocks likely to sell out in the next couple of days and once they go the others will come close
Probably a lot slower than others on here but I’ve only just noticed 8 of London’s teams are at home on Saturday, with 3 more playing away in London. The 5 PL games and ours will probably sell out or be close to it. Ours will possibly be the 4th highest attendance of the day in London given the list includes Palace (only got 24k for their last PL home game), Brentford, Wimbledon and Orient.

I think on Borough Market he's made his case pretty well, and without any arrogance (speaking as an "outsider" who hasn't tried the area on a match-day, apart from after the 2019 Wembley play-off, when the only footie fans around were happy groups of Charlton)

This is correct.
If you've seen a lifetime of experiencing/seeing if not participating in proper violence, supporting Millwall, then some supporters being loud and obnoxious wouldn't register the same as to a non football following gentle female.
I have to say when Charlton arrive back in London on the train and many start singing loudly, it's just fun to us, but not to the people standing on the platform thinking what the hell is happening/going to happen.

Maybe you are right mate, I suppose there are no cameras at Waterloo….i mean why would there be? Not many people use that station.

His valid point is that it was not prearranged in front of CCTV. They coincidentally arrived at Waterloo at the same time.
A few points for you all. Most “firm” or connected wouldn’t be seen dead making a noise or drawing attention to themselves. They wouldn’t go in the usual public places or anywhere there’s a camera and play up. If there is a meet it’s off plot 9 times out of ten.
Although if the right people bump into the right people all of that is out of the window.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter because I think all sets of football fans that are interested in fighting will all be on the same side next Saturday what with the march being the same day!
Made the decision this evening to come down for the game, bringing the wife along for her first experience of the valley (her only other games were Oldham away and Leeds away), although she wasn't keen on sitting in block A of the curbs stand
Il bring it right back…it will be interesting to see how many Wall fans are in our end if they score. I think it’s really disappointing that genuine Charlton fans have potentially got/given Millwall mates tickets!

@Weegie Addick@castrust would you proactively ask the club about the policing arrangements for after the game? Head them off at the pass before the final pre-match meeting of all the "relevant authorities"?
We did this after a member’s query a little while back. Thanks for prompting us to share more widely.
Here is the full response from club SLO:
“I have spoken to the relevant people at the club who want to assure you that we will not be holding back home fans like what happened in 2017. This was done for a serious matter, but we will not be doing this again. The club are working closely with the police who are working externally during the event.
Despite ownership changes, rest assured that all club staff are aware of the issues this fixture has caused in the past. The staff that work for the club full-time, and on matchdays, are all well-versed in how best to approach and work this game.
I hope that this helps solve any concerns. Ultimately, any out of the ordinary decisions that are made around the day, will only come from external recommendations of the police, but we are all working hard to ensure that the Millwall game is enjoyable and safe for all fans.”
Is it me or is the grammar in that club response quite poor - ‘like what happened’, ‘police who are working externally’ and ‘solve any concerns’
Yes of course I’m being deliberately but hopefully humorously pedantic.
Maybe they also authored the ‘20,000 Millwall tickets sold’ !!!😉😆
Anyway it’s good news.
Agree. The response from the club is poorly worded. "This was done for a serious matter" - WTF does that even mean?
Harsh.
It's not the wording I would have used. 'like what happened' could perhaps have been 'as happened' - 'police who are working externally' is fine, assuming it relates to policing outside the ground rather than in the stadium - and 'solve any concerns' could perhaps have been 'resolve any concerns' or 'allay any fears'. 'This was done for a serious matter' may well be something to do with intelligence obtained by the Police in 2017, with the writer choosing to withhold the details.
All that said - the message is clear without necessarily deserving of a nomination for the 2025 Pulitzer Prize!
The wording used is to pay homage to ''Del Boy Trotter" and his affiliation to Charlton Athletic. On joining Charlton, each member of staff is given a " Del Boyese" translation book for all comms.

"Wall". Non-Millwall fans using that term need a long, hard look in the mirror.
Thameslink seems to only be running between Dartford and Plumstead so it's changes if coming from Gravesend, buses from the Deptford side.

Of course I'm familiar with the area but drinking there is out of my price range, the Woolwich boozers work for me.
With all due respect, your family member saying there's NEVER any of your geezers there has to be cobblers.
You make it sound like you live in Woolwich.
I think he just says it how he sees/experiences it
don’t see any arrogance in the posts.
If you've seen a lifetime of experiencing/seeing if not participating in proper violence, supporting Millwall, then some supporters being loud and obnoxious wouldn't register the same as to a non football following gentle female.
I have to say when Charlton arrive back in London on the train and many start singing loudly, it's just fun to us, but not to the people standing on the platform thinking what the hell is happening/going to happen.
They coincidentally arrived at Waterloo at the same time.
