Millwall's first home gate of the season after promotion. Even in League One we'd be embarrassed by that turnout at the Valley these days and you just know people would be on sites like this slating our fans for piss-poor turnouts. Many would be Spanners.

CafcJay, I had to travel home from work on the night they'd been playing at Wembley and by the look of them many were on day-release from some institution or another. Maybe better they get such low attendances really.
Are you saying that Millwall are a big club and 13k is embarrassing?
Or are you struggling to realise that we're just a little SE London club that have small support but are out performing the 'massive' Charlton at the moment?
You can't have it both ways....boast about you being bigger and saying we are small...then digging us out saying we should be bigger!
It is'nt all that difficult.
I have a to admit i have seen you play against the likes of Liverpool, West Ham, Fervencvos (spelling?) & even us & also the cup & Wembley dates & there were Millwall coming out of every knook & cranny.
So their point is quite valid. Where is everybody??
You used to blame Theo & the old Bill for fans staying away.
Whats the excuse now?????
do you have nothing better to do other than make pity little threads about millwall, trying to take the piss out there attendance? i for one couldn't give 2 shits, talk about charlton ffs.
Good turn out for Milwall, but who cares?
Millwall fans ( the few with double figures on the brain cell count ) know they have plenty of fairweather support and should have more regular attendees but as it stands atm I know whose league position I'd like to be in
also I know which team has been the better to watch over the years ,
This is the first time in my 34 years of watching charlton that the scum have been in a higher league than us , we need normality to return and soon !
The very few.
Liverpool - 14,500 Millwall, 3,000 Liverpool
Ferencvaros - 11,300 Millwall, 300 Ferencvaros
West Ham - 13,000 Millwall, 2,000 West Ham
So, according to you there were Millwall coming out of every nook & cranny for the above games....attendances would suggest otherwise.
So now the rest of your questions in your post are now pointless.
I think the fans in the ground give it the biggun about the noise they make...Claridge again singing our praises, Hull fans once again saying they wish they could make as much noise as us....I don't think Millwall give it the biggun about having 30,000 attendances.
Where would we get 35,000 fans from!!? Are you mad? We're a small little club. We haven't got 35,000 fans that can afford to go week in, week out. Nor have you by the looks of it.
Are you suggesting we should take your clubs view and attract as many non-Millwall fans as you attracted non-Charlton fans in your "glory" years? All well & good doing that when you're flying high, not so good when you drop down a league and 10,000 of your fans disappear.
Capacity is about 18,000/18,500 now, 3,600+ in the away stand, leaves us with say 14400/14,900 home seats.
Hull brought 800-1000 yesterday, so we were 2k off selling out, not bad.
Not really Sparrow, you showed my point perfectly.
Those games had far more Millwall than you usually get at an average home game. As you so perfectly showed in the next post. Not far off a sellout.
Cheers.
Er...go back and read your post again and tell me what your point was.
hahaha now that is an obvious attempt at fishing for a bite!
*Turns the kettle on*
What does it prove? All you've done is upset the Lame Lion.
I couldn't care what team someone supports or what crowd they get, only if the football they produce is any good - apart from Gillingham. And frankly Kenny Jacket's team at the moment is quality to watch. Shame that Parky didn't sign players like Trotter or Schofield. Hopefully we'll be playing them next season.
None.
More to the point, out of nine League One games taking place yesterday eight attracted LESS THAN HALF the opening day attendance at The Valley, with Huddersfield a couple of thousand behind us. Admittedly Sheffield Wednesday were away and Southampton didn't play, but it does point up the financial gap between the bigger clubs and the rest. We also have bigger overheads, but not to the extent that the income isn't a big advantage.
Orient, for example, have less than a third of our home support.
