  • There's always posts on Reddit and places from overseas fans that find themselves in London for the weekend for a Sunday Prem game or something and want an additional Saturday game to go to based who's on at home and we come up very regularly as a good choice even from neutrals.
  • That’s what my pal told me but may well be an exaggeration. A few mates have said though that some games you hear more foreign speaking than English! 

  • 4000 first timers and 1000 from abroad was out an out bull****.
    Which begs the question.

    My mate has a season ticket at The Den and he says the same thing to me. Imagine different type of demographic, compared to Charlton as they are usually just blokes. 
  • 4 games in the prem today....all in London.
  • yup Typical negative response from
    you AB
    Well seeing AirmanBrown has the knowledge of how things work at both The Club and council ,think someone should listen to what is being said.
  • Why is it bull?  Millwall get around 3-4,000 overseas visitors every game. We also get a lot (nowhere near their levels). Football weekend trips to London taking in two games are pretty huge these days. 
    I remember in the promotion season under Bowyer being in The Fans Bar pre-match and a group of 4 from Norway came and joined our table. Said they arrived at City airport on the Friday, can’t remember if there was a game on Friday night they may have taken in first, then onto us on the Saturday, Brentford the next day then think even Fulham on the Monday. Wasn’t a one off visit either for them.

    this was 5 years ago now too.
  • 72 pints in a cask, times 16 = 1,152 pints = loadsa money.

  • If the people working in the food/drink outlets weren’t so useless, you wouldn’t have to leave 10 mins before half time to get a beer ! There were still queues for food/drink 15 mins into second half. The demand is there (like it or not), they just need to organise themselves and make more money AND mean people can get what they want within the half time period. 
    I managed to walk down west stand steps just before ht whistle blew. Immediately joined queue fir a beer.... and it didn't move for a good 5 mins or so after the whistle as they had to change a barrel. Wtf... do that before half time. 

    The pumps should basically be on constant pour.

    There should be 50 pre poured 3/4 full pints to be topped up. 

    There are even signs above some outlets saying something like "express beer lane", so gather and gather have thought of it... but it ain't being executed....

    Revenue being missed and fans' experiences being diminished due to managerial incompetence at the food and drink contractor- take it in house!
  • I had a'couple of Amrrican's sitting behind me (AC stand) and could tell by their comments this was their first time watching us. 

    Very knowledgeable as they picked up within the first 20 mins that TC was our danger player and that he should be given the ball at every opportunity. 

    They also commented the difference in the midfields - how Wrexham attacked with power & purpose and ours just go sideways. 
    Wait...so...you sat in the AC stand
  • The Covered End was noticeably louder even at 2.45 when I came through the turnstiles (Sam Bartram entrance). Not much singing anywhere else though.  
    But entered through the Sam Bartram entrance

    It's an exaggeration. Yes there's a certain appeal to seeing Millwall but they don't get the equivalent of a full Jimmy Seed stand every home game.

    From Millwallcommunity.org:

    Millwall's international audience continues to grow healthily, too. A staggering 11,000 unique overseas supporters visited SE16 for at least one match last season – a 63% increase on 2022/23's total.

    So 500ish per game, admittedly still an impressive number.

    I’m sure the attendance was due to the lack of games on I was sat next to 2 young Ajax fans who were in London working they knew nothing of the Hollywood connection but enjoyed their day ! Without doubt there were lots of foreign visitors which can only be a good thing surely 
    I came across a group of Danish people. They were looking forward to the game

    Went fans bar after game and gave up, too rammed. Walked to the River Ale instead only to find it too was absolutely rammed... Must have been about 40 people stood outside. It was a long walk to The Crown in Greenwich for our first post-match pint!

    I'm still not having this.  They do not know, I reckon one person may apply and not be on the database and be classed as a first time visitor.  They ask for 4 tickets then all of a sudden there are 4 new visitors.
    As for Millwall, I think that figure has a few too many zeros.
  • Who was it recommending parking up at 2.45 as there are never any traffic wardens and did he or anyone get a ticket?

    That's if all of those 11,000 unique overseas supporters all only ever went to one game - that is statistically very unlikely, and therefore the average number per game would almost certainly be greater than 500.


  • The Greek minister for climate change must have been one of them.

  • I sat next to a couple of Feyenoord fans who had tickets for the West Ham match today (I am pleased for them that they experienced injury time penalty celebrations in both games).  They had done their research on Charlton, liked the tradition of 'The Red, Red Robin', the similar team colours/badges of Charlton and Feyenoord, thought Coventry was our most cultured player and enjoyed the match despite the 'lousy' football in the second half. 
  • Millwall average 15k at home games, and in the championship you'll often get at least 1k away fans, with most teams selling 2k.

    You can't seriously tell me that 3-4k of the 13-14k home fans are overseas visitors.

    3-400 maybe
