What about those of us getting the train westbound? This sort of ##£@ is why people hate the police. Decent folks inconvenienced so that the Spanners can all go up town for more riots.

Careful now, they will be offering you an honorary position on the trust board for statements like that.

This. Rather than trying to put a jolly, positive spin about the tunnel jump.
How is it possible that the club and supporter reps have allowed the police to impose this without so much as a whimper?
And my brother wondered why I was so insistent on taking the bus from Blackheath ( where I’m staying) to Charlton Village and especially back that way.
Saw this coming all the way from Prague. Didn’t you, @castrust? And what about the invisible Fan Advisory Board with its supposed no-nonsense members we voted in?
I sometimes think that when we become “football fans” we somehow surrender our right to remind the police that they serve us, and we pay their sodding wages.
That's a massive assumption. How do you know the club etc. didn't push back?
Because they would have been told, if you don’t like it you’ll have to restrict ticket sales as in no away support.
Used to use the mounted to divide the roads so both sets could use. I’m guessing the mounted are all up town dealing with the weekly nonsense by the great unwashed. Blame them not the old bill, only so many of them to police all the football/protests that is happening in the capital on Saturday.
Why not lock Millwall in, and once the area is cleared let them out, like what would happen at the other 91 grounds for this sort of game?
is the correct answer - my dad has enough of a struggle walking up and down the hill without having to do a warm up lap of the lower road first and then an inevitable long wait for the station to clear

It's what that x account always does, on this occasion they have not read the room
Has anyone noticed that this map shows that Charlton fans will be, what looks like them being held at the Antigallon.
Presumably held there until the Millwall fans have been cleared from the station.
I’m impressed that they have gone to the trouble of checking all 3k Millwall fans will be going home via the train
I was wondering this. If you're a Millwall fan who's parked off Woolwich road or up by the cemetery then what?
Are you herded towards the station regardless? Do you have to walk round into all the Charlton fans coming along Woolwich road? Will Charlton fans who've done the long walk round be held by the station until all Millwall have gone?

Great timing...

This feels like it sets the tone for the whole day, again.
Probably held a survey to come up with that response.
It's better to put a lion in a cage instead of a red Robin.
I don't think much trouble will occur. Even if it does, it will probably just be teens.

That is a very good spot, it will be interesting to see if this happens. Perhaps they'll hold us back and allow Charlton fans one carriage per train.
