Special mention today for the police driving their vans through a massed crowd of charlton fans that had been blocked off from entering the station. Their whole operation seemed a complete shambles today4

I mean, the people in that stand are apparently so dangerous that 20,000 of your own fans need to be inconvenience for their own safety, but you man the gate with a couple of minimum wage stewards.
I'm totally sick of these c*nts turning up and us rolling out the fucking red carpet for them, with a VIP lane back to the train station. Totally embarrassing.
Gotta to say fair play to the 2 stewards there on their own. Fuck that for minimum wage poor fellas.19 -
Well, today showed that the OB are incapable of making a decision that works.Airman Brown said:

I got the 177 from Plumstead. Met my wife, who walked, outside the club shop. Went in and at the end left. Walked with thousands up to Maryon Wilson Park. Got the bus, went to the Herbert and then for a curry. Home at 8.
My only issue that the way to the bus on the lower road was blocked by plod.
Im lucky I guess.0 -
How was it at the level crossing anyone know? I got through Ransom Walk as police were letting everyone through by the time I got there, despite initially advertising it was only for those unable to go on the hike via the crossing. I think if they hadn't it was getting dangerously congested outside the club shop. The exit gate to the left of the club shop was held shut by stewards, adding to the pressure on the main route out if the west stand and into Harvey Gardens, even with Ransom Walk then open.0

I’d like to know why they’re so overzealous with their tactics against football supporters - getting fully kitted out in riot gear with batons drawn - only to end up making a couple of arrests for being drunk, throwing the odd punch or not walking the permitted route. While facing having to make hundreds of arrests for drugs, sexual assaults, rapes, stabbings, and even the occasional murder at Carnival, wearing rainbow coloured sunglasses?6

The club really needs to restrict the Millwall allocation if we play them again next season. 1500 max10
-
Just give em the top tier of the JS stand and net off the lower - that’s all we get at their shit hole, 1,500 max and lock them in for an hour after.
if they smash it up, so be it - it needs sorting out anyway - and their owner can pay for it26 -
Agreed, and for the record I certainly wasn't having a pop at them. Blokes deserve a bonus. They don't get paid for that.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:Off_it said:

Wouldve been a bit of a problem if 20000 people followed your excellent example though.iainment said:I got the 177 from Plumstead. Met my wife, who walked, outside the club shop.

You do realise that some people might think what's the point in involving the Trust in anything now, don't you? I've always been a supporter, but that response to the announced restrictions before the game was just a joke. I thought the idea of a members organisation was to stand up for and protect the interests of it's members , as uncomfortable as that may be for those who may have cosy little relationships with the club.Weegie Addick said:Can people please email photos and first hand evidence to secretary@castrust.org and we will compile and raise with the club.

Whoever sold the box to Millwall fans should be sacked imo. Totally unacceptableOff_it said:

They could also be made to come by coach if there really is a need to get them out of the ground asap.Elthamaddick said:Just give em the top tier of the JS stand and net off the lower - that’s all we get at their shit hole, 1,500 max and lock them in for an hour after.

20 coaches with 75 fans on equates to 1,500. Set them all off from The Den or wherever there pick up points are for away games.1 -

No problem with it at all. But I don't think there's any harm in pointing out that those who criticise the Trust have the option of doing something about it. Obviously there are reasons why people might choose or not be able to but it's easy to criticise, hard to act.shirty5 said:

Whilst this thread is entitled Millwall 2025 onwards let’s be honest it’s only a Millwall problem nothing like this will happen again this season
Police cocked up in so many ways today and will result in us getting a reduced allocation at the toolbox and kept in for an hour, it’s standard
I sit in the AC and the little mob that goaded the spanners didn’t help but Millwall have always been bullies relying on numbers rather than anything, just more pricks as a percentage of fans than most teams
There were kids no older than 10 in that corner of the away end that were giving it, they are horrible always have been as long as I’ve been going,
What makes me laugh is I know a few from work insurance people,accountants, bankers etc living in a nice place is Sidcup and yet they surround themselves with a few pricks on an away day and think they are invincible
Horrible mugs18 -

As Shaw Taylor would say, Keep em peeled0 -
The only problem at the level crossing was due to plod allowing cars.to try a negotiate a way through crowds of fans walking down the road. In fact the only aggro I saw was two motorist, having an altercation, one going towards the the level crossing and one coming up the hill they sat there shouting at one another as there was no room to pass with parked cars on either side of the road. The plod should have closed the road.5

Or you could have a debate, challenge the decisions made and potentially improve things. Nominations are being sought now, the make up of the board could be completely different by the end of the year if people actually appliedsam3110 said:
