I am considering going to Millwall / Palace as a neutral before the Orient game on New Years Eve . Logistically it stacks up as it is a 1pm kick off at the Den .Yes I know some on here will see this as heresy but I think it will be an interesting game.
Twice before I've seen two games in a day although on both occasions one has been non league , once was a Boxing Day when we played Portsmouth at Sell Out I went on to Fisher V Welling in the afternoon and one Good Friday I saw Barnet V Welling in the afternoon and in the evening saw the Gills play Wigan .
On the latter occasion I know someone who also saw Brentford V Fulham in the morning , so the most I've known is three .

Not close to that, but have a similar story...
10 years ago I had a Man City season ticket holder as a girlfriend (met her in Shagalluf), one day out of the blue right about when the Carling Cup 2nd round was being played she sends me an email "how do you fancy going up to see West Brom v Charlton on the Tuesday night, and then driving on up to the parents to watch Man City v Birmingham?" What a bird, what a bird!!!! We did it, both of our teams won - Euell got our winner from a Pen, City won 6-0
Anyway, I felt guilty I didn't think something like that up - so I dumped her shortly after
A neutral? No leaning either way on who'd you want to win? Or would a draw suit?
Good Friday 1966
Morning Charlton 5-2 Preston
Afternoon Spuds 1-4 W Ham
12 goals in one day - not bad ! Next day 8 more : Chelsea 6-2 W Ham
one boxing day
orient-luton am
followed by millwall-charlton pm
Quite a few did both Notts Co v Charlton (an awful game) and Notts Forest v Wimbledon (a good game).
Bradford P.A. v Exeter afternoon, Huddersfield v Charlton evening ko in the late sixties.
A neutral? No leaning either way on who'd you want to win? Or would a draw suit?
I got my tickets today with no problem , when the girl in the ticket office asked if I was a Palace fan I answered honestly.
So I would probably have a slight preference for a Millwall , but I genuinely think it will be an interesting game and a chance to catch up with a Millwall supporting friend .
Most games you have ever seen in the same day?
One.
