Any team with Muscat and Van den Hauwe (sp) in their heritage, let alone their fans , is beneath contempt. Whatever the mea culpas their “reasonable” fans give on here.
Kent cup 70s - about 3000 gate of which about 500 of them in a mob who systematically attacked any male in red from age 14 up (we know you care really). Went to all the Kent cup games which we won 1-0 If memory serves and not a dull game among them. Saw Grant score in the snow and Bowyer get sent off and the 2 -0 home win. Was convinced I was at a 2-1 mid week away win from the 60s but records prove otherwise.
God, do you you lot actually believe you're own hype? You must read the Sun and believe that too. We eat babies too. (In all my years going I've never seen a child attacked at Millwall, get a grip you drama queen!)
I've only just seen this. Yes, I am slow.
Were you there @MillwallFan ? I was, 1975 and it was impossible to open your mouth as a Charlton fan on any of the terraces without it getting filled in. It was quite an eye opener to a 15yr old kid their with mates.
I saw a bloke that I would estimate as around 40yrs old standing on the South Terrace (Now the Jimmy Seed Stand) shouting out to all that could hear him (and plenty could), that he wanted to take on all Charlton willing to take on the challenge.
I know that others have pulled you up on this more recently, as you still claim never to have seen any problems, just like my Spanner brother-in-law! Please don't dismiss our lived experiences, we have been there, bought the t-shirt and didn't enjoy it.
Jesus, I made this comment over 11 years ago!!
You may have noticed I’ve chilled out a bit since then. I’d like to think so anyway! I’d probably had a booze as well by the looks of it. 🫣
for the record, I’m not saying there’s never been problems. Obviously back in the 70’s and 80’s it was bad. But I do think sometimes things can get over exaggerated. And for me personally, I haven’t seen anything in recent times. I’m not saying there hasn’t been problems, just that I haven’t seen any, in recent times. Nothing major anyway. That’s my lived experience.
Take it on the chin mate, you're always welcome on here. Although you'll always be a spanner!

Ben Thatcher that's the little git I was thinking off. Ta mate
He ended up playing for us
He scored an absolute rocket from about 25 yards against us at their place around '95. I remember the day well for this and two other things.
I have never been keen on going in the Charlton end for these games and find it easier to sit with the filth so to get out of the ground and not have the threat of a slap.
Firstly, I got a ticket half price outside the ground in the main stand, nice one I thought. I went to buy something to eat/drink and it turned out the note the geezer gave me back for change outside was bent! I let them keep the dough so to try and identify who gave me the dud.
After the game, I'm waiting for my mates and this spanner was frothing at the mouth screaming "you f****** trainspotting c**** f*** off to the station and get your train numbers". F*** knows what he would have done if the spanners had not won.
My chums came out of the ground unscathed and we had a nice drink after.
Only once, the famous game in the snow on December 5th 1995, one of the happiest nights of my life.
We didn't just beat them we played them off the park, Mortimer was breathtaking when he came on.
That still didn't make up for the humiliation of losing 3-0 at Selhurst in August 1988, when they took us apart, nor the balmy August night in 1988 when Williams and Mortimer put us 2-0 up and they scored twice in stoppage time to draw 2-2, it was one of the worst feelings I have ever had at a game.
The only joy I have had since then was having my flight from Brisbane to London delayed in March 2010 which meant that I missed the 4-0 hammering at The Den, travelling 24 hours for that would have been suicide inducing.

He played for us too. Lunatic.
Sent off in a crucial relegation match at Blackburn in April 2007, we were 1-0 down and Thatcher decides to make two stupid challenges and get two yellows, some of our more stupid fans even applauded him off.
He could play, no doubting that, but he lacked discipline.
In the words of the much missed Craig Norris, Pat van den Bastard. I checked back if I'd chipped in on this thread, found I did in 2013 (seen 3 wins) unfortunately I could cut and paste what I put then and it would still be true.

Dennis Wise was a little turd as well.

The humiliations will be into double figures.
1992 - Upton Park
1992 - The Den (Anglo Italian Cup)
1995 - The Den
1996 - The Valley
I bet that was a hoot getting out of the ground unscathed.
I have seen us win more matches against Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United than I have victories over the Spanners.
Hopefully tomorrow can be number 1 ...
