Based on their usual level of support midweek there will be about 67 Millwall fans
1150 tickets sold
We often only take about that number to Millwall for a midweek away game.
It's a late night if you have to work the next day.
We took 3525 to Preston recently. Our away support hasn’t been this good for the best part of 50 years. My lifetime anyway. We’d sell out midweek at Millwall now I reckon
Probably. Especially if we only get upstairs.
I am sure last time we were there midweek they sold tickets from the far end then only opened up the middle blocks on the night. There were loads of empty seats there. I do not know why people won't go.
With Coward's Way to and from the station it is fine these days.
It's not like it was I first went for a League Cup game and there were about 400 away fans in total. About half were going back to London Bridge. We had an enormous Police escort which was attacked twice by Millwall fans on the very short walk up to the station.
On the plus side we won the tie. Drew on the night I think.
I was talking to some Millwall fans in the Dead Wax last night and asked how their away allocation worked,
basically there are 3 categories which are governed by the Old Bill.
Cat A - Only get the upper tier - Clubs with a Reputation - Blues
Cat B - Both - Clubs with good support - Coventry etc
Cat C - Lower - Clubs with crap away followings - Blackburn etc.
I don't really understand that if you can police 3000 Carlton Fans you cant do it for 3000 Blues fans.
Just sounds like Lazy policing,
