Millwall (A) 8th November

[W_L]

As long as we successfully navigate any lifts on the way we'll be doing better than QPR

 

[badgerbee]

erm, just in case anyone thinks millwall are some sort of invincible superhero's taskforce they did actually come unstuck once (or even twice) at brentford in 85 trying to get in the royal oak from the braemar.......this will cheer up those who were thinking of missing this game cos they are tooooo damn scary.......pretty scary in their day though lol

Was that the game where they had a load in The Royal Oak already??...........Quite a few dressed in white surgeons coats........and presumably carrying the appropriate tools of the trade..............
I remember just after kick off a low, drawn out 'Miiiiiiilllllllwaaaaaalllllllll' that seemed to come from every other person stood next to me!!!! Very off-putting!!!!!

Or was that another time??................

lol.....that was 79........they took over the whole top of the oak.....our lot who dared to go in there went down the bottom right by the big middle entrance.....so few that millwall didnt even bother to have a go at em.....there must have been at least 300/400 millwall in there.....i watched this as a 11 year old from the relative safety of the braemar corner seats lol

the one im talking about was 85 on a sunday a few days after their luton cup game 'adventure'.....about a dozen or so tried to get into the oak from the tea bar bit and were forced out they also had the whole of the new rd......still only about 5-6k there if memory serves right

Ah yeah......that's the one!!!!

I was in The Oak, down the front, on the right as a 12 year old with a mate.... God knows what my parents were thinking!!!! rofl Stood right next to 2 of them Treatment types and absolutely sh*tting myself!!! The Miiiiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllwaaaaaaaaaalllllllll cry was really un-nerving as it seemed to reverberate around the whole end!!!!!!!

Was that the same season Portsmouth were in there too and the whole game consisted of us and them steaming back and forth across the back???!!!!

That Portsmouth game was Easter 83 I think. And as for that Millwall game - I was also down the front of the Oak. Scared.

pompey when they took over the oak was 80.....ticker tape and toilet rolls in the ealing rd......must have been around 200 skins in the home end that day and they stayed the whole game.........the big battle was easter 82 (1-1) when the 657 casual lot turned up but brentford actually held the middle of the top bit.....45mins it went on before the old bill moved most of the portsmouth round into the corner of the new rd......they actually thought we did well that day considering they had so many in there lol at the other end they smashed the gates down and must have had 5k behind the goal and also bought their golf balls with em too lol

The second one was def 83, my dad kept (and I think still has) a scrapbook of newspaper cuttings from the 82-83 season, it was the season I was born and named after Alan Whitehead................ The golf balls were reported upon :yes:

I remember that Millwall game at GP in the 70's.

Pre game I went and stood next to what I thought were Brentford's main boys, thinking I would be safe, then the players came out and the chant of Miiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllwaaaaaaaaaalllllllll went up and I bid a hasty retreat down the front of The Oak.

I was there as a 10 year old. I think it was the game when Paddy Roach got coined and golf balled after saving a penalty.

After reading Salford's post on the Millwall in pink thread, this is a lovely gesture by Millwall in remembering those that gave their lives in WW1, http://mobile.millwallfc.co.uk/news/article/millwall-commemorative-kit-for-brentford-2020400.aspx

3 days before "11.11.14" and our nearest home game to Remembrance Day is on the 1st November v Derby, due to an international break weekend on the 15th November. I wonder how Brentford FC will remember the 11th of the 11th v Derby or Millwall?

 

[sonofabee]

Blimey, now they have licence to kick s*** out of us on and off the pitch and ready made mitigation that they were feeling patriotic, emotional and feelings ran over.
Can feel that tickly cough becoming full blown Man Flu. lol

The Headley Court Benevolent Fund is a worthwhile charity and I would urge anyone who wants to donate then donate direct to them and not H4H as they will receive every penny and not a percentage.

My mates son who served in Afghanistan/Iraq told me that.Worth noting and well done the 'Wall.

So if you come unstuck against a fearsome looking bloke in pink who chases you,thumps you,kicks you and generally scares the sh*t out of you just remember he has donated to a worthwhile charity and his heart is in the right place.

good post.........few of my mates are millwall.....and i've been texting them about seeing them 'in the pink' on 8th for pre match hospitality in london bridge area..........and do you know what.......'they dont care'..........its a proper gesture by their club and supporters,and shoul be applauded.........lest we forget.

 

[wanderer paul]

Millwall won't be wearing pink, they'll be wearing a kit based on the desert camouflage kit the armed forces wear.

 

[shaun]

I remember going to the (old) Den in the mid 80s with a mate from school. Unfortunately we didn't have enough money for the away end and to get home so had to go in the home end! Fortunately, we were crap and lost 2 or 3 nil.

not to some on here.....they go all shaky at the mere mention of the 'wall lol

 

[horshambees]

Its only banter.Nicest bunch of fans you could wish to meet.

Show respect and you will get tons back.Some of their old school supporters would take great pleasure in a beer and a natter.
Proper football club.

 

[Bridge Bee]

[Voice from the Braemar]

[josht]

Cheers Nick, there's no reason why we shouldn't fill that!

 

[JCMcBee]

both sets of supporters will stand as one on 8th.......as it should be.....be there.

 

[whyteleafebee76]

Just got mine and my nipper's tickets for this one, reckon we will sell most of the top tier, about 1600-1700 I reckon.

 

[Hamburger Hill]

Am very tempted to take me and the juniors to this one but they play football on a Saturday morning and don't finish until around 12.30...they usually get changed and eat in the car on the way to home games but do you reckon we'll make it to 'Wall in time? Any suggestions as best way up to the ground (we start at J11 of the M4)...

 

[Invipai]

Does anyone have any idea on numbers sold? Am planning on going just trying to convince a 'Oh no it's Milwall!' fan to come.
