  • It was depressing seeing the stewards spoiling the fun of the little 'curry' girl again in the East Stand. It looks to me like she was doing no harm whatsoever, but adding to the colour, even the mild eccentricity of the experience. Of course she would have been in the eyeline of Keohane and Miere, so two huge blokes came over to take her gear and generally tarnish her fun.
  • I was sitting right next to her. A steward came over to her and said she had to take the placards down. She wasn't happy with that so a Man with a suit came over and explained to her that she didn't have permission to put it up. He also mentioned that it was a fire risk. They then took all the placards away and said they could be collected at the end of the game. A bit heavy handed as she wasn't doing any harm and she does support the team.

    What do the placards say?
  • terrific win, big morale booster .. so pleased that at last Magennis has got his just rewards .. and Ajose ? .. six goals this season so far .. get off his back you scapegoat seekers

    What the hell are we supposed to do if all of the players start playing well at the same time? Gotta have someone to moan at.

    What a different Valley it is when we are winning and in command of games and such a massive boost for the players - can only create positives.

    this .. worth a BIG lol and like .. as well as a ((:>)
  • They were so so poor.
  • They were so so poor.

    It's very important to remember this. Millwall aren't a good team but they aren't crap and they will arrive fired up. They'll also have a full Jimmy Seed urging them up. If we want to end our miserable run we'll have to be on the ball from the off, not piss about for a half-hour like we did yesterday.
  • Rovers ALMOST packed out the Jimmy Seed! Was surprising. They must just have a (wonderfully) nutcase following

    "Almost packed" = 50% full

    (1500 in a stand that holds 3400)

    The Douchbag should have bought their club instead then, a match made in heaven :wink: .
  • They must have done some sort of pufferfish thing because it looked 2/3 full at least

    Hats off to Robbo. Adventurous in his selection. Moving Konsa from the holding player to more offensive just genius.

    Botika worked hard and after a poor 30. Seemed galvanised by being bought down whilst on a good run and played well after this.

    Fox did not put a foot wrong other than a silly tackle for his yellow and loved his justifiable rant at Tex for failing to cover - which seemed to knock him out of his trance. Chicksen playing in front of him gives him support for the first time in yonks and it shows. Bloke's behind slagged off every touch - even when it was not him. Somehow got the blame for their goal as well! Why these supporters cant join the boycott?

    Aribo the star though. Great at dead ball play and what a welcome change that is.

    Great to be in a rocking covered end

    Bloke behind us blamed Phillips for their goal - what more could he have done ?
    He did really well to not get sent off.
    With the new rules, wouldn't it only be a penalty and yellow card now?
  • Can I just add some of drizzle rovers marking was awful.
  • I didn't see the girl you are talking about @seth plum, what is a 'curry girl'?
  • I didn't see the girl you are talking about @seth plum, what is a 'curry girl'?

    Sells laptops and televisions.

  • I didn't see the girl you are talking about @seth plum, what is a 'curry girl'?

    She was in the East Stand end near the covered end. One of her placards says 'curry'.

    Was she there again yesterday?

    She created brilliant entertainment in our previous Home Game because she was holding the sign going mental yet what made it all entertaining was aftermath of the incident... the steward who told her to stop walked away and couldnt walk more than a few steps each time without turning back round to make sure she wasnt holding the sign up again.

    A right proper petty way of ensuring the steward orders were followed I felt he was almost going: I'm watching you

    video from the away end.

    See the packed stands
  • Must be about 12,000 there yesterday

    So the ground looks just under half full to you?
  • Taken from the East about 5 mins before kick off.
  • Half full 13,500 about 12,000 yes how many do you think

    I tried to get a bit of booing going from the N upper but no one seemed too interested. She's harmless but maybe her artwork is seen as anti regime??

    Wasn't there but going by the video above I'd say about 10k at a stretch..... NL 2/3rds, NU not even a 1/3 full, NW + NE maybe a 1/4 full if that, WL around 1/2, WU little over a 1/3. The groupings of fans can give a perception of more people but there are lots of empty seats in amongst the groupings.
