That’s not gonna work for me , sorry these fucking early kick offs are playing havoc with my 6 sloppy shits pre midday routine
What if the Millwall fans just refuse to leave the train station? Are they just going to hold it hostage so we can’t use it? No way are the police going to risk forcing them onto trains.
This all just sounds like a recipe for disaster - making things far worse not better imo.
I believe there is a MAJOR anti immigration march taking place in central London tomorrow and trouble is expected. O B will be very stretched and I suppose keeping the fans as far apart as they can, for as long as they can is a way of ensuring that there is as little trouble as possible. Arsenal, Palace, Fulham (v Leeds), West Ham (v Spurs) and Brentford are all at home tomorrow, busy time for O B I wouldn't be surprised to see Essex, Surrey, Kent etc. Police patrolling London tomorrow

Well, maybe you have a hot-line to the old bill, in which case you could have let us know earlier...🤷♂️
Come on, it was fecking predictable. They laid the blueprint for it last time, it was pretty obvious they would do it again. We are driving up from Dorset instead of our usual train journey and have booked parking east of the ground. I still feel pig throwing levels of anger about it though

What has this got to do with the policing of our game?

Come on now this is getting hysterical 🤣
Suddenly it's turning into the Taking of Pelham 123 rather than a local football Derby in 2025.
It's a few thousand football supporters from bermondsey and Bexleyheath not Ghengis Khan riding in with his troops to lay siege on Charlton village.

It's pretty much what happened on 2013, and we saw a bit less of it in 2014.
With the clubs response to the Trust weeks which did not appear to come from anyone senior nor with the correct information it always looked like the Police would revert to the tactics they used before as the crowd for Saturday will be bigger and the clubs current SMT although seems better than some of the previous people, would not know the specific historical issues.
People closer to the club as Trust/Advisors should have seen this, as this sort of thing happens to us and a lot and we the supporters have to suffer the consequences
Millwall will have an away support of 3,000 season ticket holding , high loyalty points , fans. I think we can be fairly sure their bark is worse than their bite. They will be noisy and threatening, but these are largely kittens not Lions. They will be plastic Hoolies, who on the whole haven’t thrown a punch since year 10 at school. They are not the hordes of Gengis Khan, so let’s not big them up.

Good. I'm pushing you to the front then "Kitten Smasher"
Be interested to know how many people leaving on a normal matchday make their way via Floyd Road or through Ransom Walk, as opposed to going up Harvey? Because it’s going to be the full complement of home fans heading up Harvey Gardens, with a large portion then walking down Charlton Lane, across the live level crossing, and navigating the pavement along the main road. Inevitably, people will spill onto the roadway, which will not only increase congestion but also heighten the risk of an accident - all for the sake of avoiding what has always been done: holding the away fans back for 20 minutes or so.
Especially if being held back in Charlton Church Lane by the Anti.
The corner where the anti is will have people all over the road as there will not just be people heading to the station but everyone that usually walks along the lower road towards the angerstien, whether they usually go via ransom walk or Floyd road way, will be forced that way.
There will be a balls up just as there was last time when they blocked turning left from Harvey gardens towards the level crossing not realising people just continued ahead into Coxmount, Hasted and Pound Park and came out behind the ‘block’ by the level crossing after a 2 minute detour.
"After consultation with the club, Charlton fans are politely requested to not pull the lions tail tomorrow. Any witnessed tail pulling, tugging, heaving, lugging, yanking, twisting of said tails will result in revocation of club membership and season tickets.
Charlton fans are also advised to keep crowd noise to a minimum to avoid any such pulling of tails and Addick's manager Nathan Jones has briefed the team not to do anything on the pitch that may be determined as "tail pulling-esque" including scoring goals, making tackles or daring to make eye contact with our guests at corners".

Sounds like a normal performance for us against Millwall.

Police rationale was if the Spanners were kept in they'd smash the place up and/or fight the old bill.
In case you want to let the crowd go the museum will be open after the game.
