Only 6 weeks away now, so time to start booking up the train tickets before they start getting more expensive.

I can get a Group Saver 4 for £22.50 each, which is an open ended return.

Who's in?

Actually, if you split it at Didcot, it works out at £15.95 each. Bargain.

Can I come along??

I suppose so.

 :D

I'm in

Right, now I have 5 people wanting in on a Group 4 saver...

Way to go for Millwall, Sam.

[url width=500 height=315]http://realgta.net/realgta/images/car_securicar2.jpg[/url]

I want in too! Might as well just keep going til we get 8...

^ That's a good idea, but I can only afford to book one Group.

If someone else is up for booking a second group I'm sure we'll find people who want the tickets.

Best to get them today because prices will probably go up from tomorrow.

If you're booking today, do you want money today?

If so PM me your details and I'll get a transfer sent over.

I'd normally book the 4 but can't afford the full whack.

Nah don't need the money today necessarily. 

Lets hope there are no Train Strikes that weekend. :O

Have they announced a further far increase then? Thought that happened in January.

They'll be the same price in 5 weeks time otherwise.

I thought the super off peak tickets disappeared 6 weeks or so beforehand?

When I looked up it just said off peak return.

I didn;t think there was a limit for super off peak tickets? I've bought them on the day before

I'll be in London anyway. See you all at the pub :D

Me too, I'll be in the market porter from 11. I will then ensure i go and sit in stu wall's seat.

I was going to go but when i went to get my ticket they said hat it had already been sold to somebody else and wanted me to buy another one?  :soapy tit wank:

Heh! heh!




Stuwall 8)

I've booked a golf trip for that weekend, so I'm hoping that our fate is decided before the last game. If not it's going to be fuck the golf & hello South London :(

I should co-co or whatever it is those cheeky chappies up there say :D

I'm not going. Fuck the machine

I'm hopefully going, i intend on meeting a Millwall bird :)

Are you not 16

You will be eaten alive sunshine

Yeah i'm 16. And i doubt it, she's harmless :)

She's millwall for Christ sake

And they dont have "birds" following them. Have you ever seen Biffa Bacon's mum in Viz? That's the quality at the den.

I've booked the 9.29 from Swindon if anyone else is planning on coming with us lot.

I'll leave it to Fred, DRS, Herthab and Sippo to fight it out for the 3 tickets :)

http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=20948083709

Me me me....

Already confirmed with Sam at 6.35pm this evening, via text. So it's between Fred and DRS for the remaining ticket.

Getting huge stick for it, but I'm playing cricket, which means no millwall, no saturday semi...but I'll make an exceptions for the final when we get there.....

I'm gonna go to this game.  :D

its mine

when are tickets on sale for this?

I know.  :cunt:

Oh, yes...unless we're already up by then. ;D

If we're going to be play offs I may have to leave it to save the money for those games. I hate being skint.

Cheapest I can find at the mo is about 22 quid a head including the tube day pass.....

Scrap that - cheaper to split at didcot...

£15 including tube card.   Bargain!

Yeah, that's what I did. £15.95 I think it is.

Just a thought (an idle one, because I know I won't be around for the game), but the New Den holds about 20,000?  I remember a similar end of season game vs Derby at the Baseball Ground 18 or 19 years ago where we needed a win to make the play offs and they also needed a result.  (I think they may even have been going for automatic promotion?)  The Baseball Ground also held around 20,000, and Derby basically gave the whole ground over to Derby fans, except approx 400 tickets that they gave to us.

I'm not suggesting for a second that Millwall are as well supported as Derby, but is there not a risk that - if the game is a winner-takes-all winner gets promoted game (very possible) - would Millwall not be entitled to seriously restrict our ticket allocation so they could pack the ground out with their own fans?

They'd have to give us at least 10% of the seats.

I thought there was a league rule of at least 10% that must be offered to away fans

Some quotes from independant millwall


Stick the fuckers in the westupper again ALA oldham the promotion year, surely we'd sell out and create some serious bloody noise! Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllllllllllllllllll



You lot do talk some shit.

Why would Swindon accept 300 tickets for the corner of the west stand.
Could you imagine how everyone on here would cry if it was the other way.

If the Club done that they would get slaughterd.

Fuck me, untill 3 weeks ago we struggled to get 11K, we only just got that on saturday.
Now I know I'm pretty, but I ain't as pretty as a couple of titties

I always said, if I had to fuck a guy... I mean had to, if my life depended on it... I'd fuck Elvis.

yeah, i remember that derby game....still hold a grudge against em now....me and a few mates ended up in their home stand and saw a few other town regulars in there as well....

charlton took 3500 against millwall the other week so i personally think we'll be getting that allocation.....we best do anyway

i think we'll get a decent allocation and sell all our tickets for Millwall but before we start getting excited about this being a big decider etc i think we should worry about the Colchester game more and hope we can bring a big following to get behind the team there.

id hate to see only 400-500 of us there. especially after taking around 1500 to Leeds.

We should take 1000 there. I'm going to every away game now despite being brassic

its not often we get seasons like the one were having and i hope others see it that way and make the most of it.

home or away

Im going!

Yep, me and a mate did the same, and we also saw plenty of Swindon faces, just a little nod and a grin to each other. Derby fans were fucking manic that day, you could hardly hear the Swindon fans even when THE GREAT MICKY HAZARD scored.

There were bad disruptions to the tube/rail when I last went to Millwall so I went with the SAS. We won & our coach got hit 3 times by missiles, and this was a nothing game in the autumn. If there is anything riding on this game I will be there.

I believe there is but I'm also pretty certain that crowd security and safety trumps that rule. If it goes down to the final game there is every chance the Police will rate it as a high security risk and get the Swindon allocation reduced as a result.

Are you driving from Calne Flash? I've even had a Leeds fan say he'd come along to this game  :)

That'll be the same Leeds fan you're going with to watch Chelsea v Villa ?

Just out of interest will season ticket holders get priority for millwall tickets,Im asking because i've been talking to a charlton fan and as i've not been to an away game this season he thinks i wont get one because charlton base getting away tickets for big matches on how many away games you go to,Im sure ours is based on priority to just season ticket holders.

Some Clarification would be nice if anyone knows.

I dont think Swindon have ever done it like that have they?

Its usually ST Holders and then general sale.

Thats what i thought cheers langers,much appreciated..

80s townender

Yes KOT.

Hopefully myself and Sussex will be attending. Obviously only of we can get tickets!

I've got a plan B of taking up an invite from a millwall ST holder in a box, can't imagine i'll live long after the final whistle if i take that offer up though.

Going off that survey the club done, hopefully soon we'll have a membership scheme of some sort where they can track what games people go to to prioritise tickets for big away games better, although I think that at the moment, even if you don't have a season ticket there is always a way. I go free to home games so have never bothered about a ST, but still got tickets to Brighton away in PO, just got to beg borrow or steal!

I can just imagine it - Millwall needing to beat us to take second place away from us, they're leading 1-0 with no time left, and Amankwaah comes on to score the equaliser.

That would be great, but if we're in that position I couldn't care less who scores the equaliser!

How would our organisation know how many away games you'd been to ?

Season ticket holders will get a chance to get their tickets first - like for Wycombe for example.

with his bollocks.

Yes, plural.

They know about half of the ones i've been to, as i book over the phone and have them delivered to me. Did that for Carlisle, Southend, Norwich, Huddesfield and Jills i think. Although it isnt infallible as i got too pissed the night before and never made the kent trip, they still had their money though.

Ill go in the Millwall end if I cant get a ticket

JUst asked Stuwall, as he's bound to have ordered a spare one !!!

I did that for my only visit to the old Den. The exclamation "fuck off you family cunts!" is still fresh in the memory. This was shouted when we scored.

I loved the Old Den-especially the walk down death row track to get to the away end!Its where Terry Gibson scored his only Town goal you know.

With Abdou getting sent off for diving...

Having first juggled it from one to the other, just to demonstrate the plurality

Whilst whistling 'Colonel Bogey'

Yey, I need an adje hug \O/

One train ticket up for grabs in our group if anyone wants in. £16.

i'm still interested, when are you getting matchday tickets?

No idea when they're released.

You want the train ticket then?

my mate told me yesterday millwall have sold 14 and a half thousand for this already.

Yeah go on then, who's pulled out?

DRS remembered it's his daughter's birthday :D

Ha, when do you want/need the cash?

Whenever mate.

I'm going to make a big effort and go to this game if we need something from it for automatic promotion even if it is hours away.

Asked in the ticket office last night.We've got 2200 and they will go on sale to season ticket holders next week.

I did the same - the lady told me that Millwall have now completely sold out.

just priced up a train for 4 of us...£32 return each just to paddington is best I could get...might do the megabus :-0

Did you not do a group saver for 4 people?

was assuming that was as i put 4 adults?

just did it again...good call iob....now £79.60 total

you got it!

I know we've got to focus on beating the wall next week, but looks like rovers fans are getting restless so hopefully will give their players a kick up the ass........

Why is a manager, who has produced just 40 points in 35 games, still in charge of this football club.

Points total aside, I can honestly say that I am delighted I took the stance not to go to another Rovers game whilst dumb and dumber are in charge but having just read PT's post match comments and compared them to some of the texts I got this afternoon, I find it difficult to work out who is right.

In fairness to PT he has probably cut and pasted his same old post match crap from two or three games earlier in the season prior to today's game.

Anyway, for people like ZFC who blame Ollie for our many years in the basement I suggest you start waking up and smelling the coffee as if we start next season the same way we have ended this, we could be relegated by christmas next season.

Could PT go down in Rovers history as the manager who got us to Wembley and Cardiff and got us relegated.

Message to Mr Higgs. Grow a set of balls and sack this pair of idiots before it is to late

430 tickets left according to the club's update on Facebook.

Saying the same on the OS now, + over 5000 St's sold.

Andy D'urso is fourth official for the game

FUCK
MY
LIFE

Could be worse....

Yep. At least he's not the referee.

It could by Paul 'Ted' Danson, Stuart Attwell, Andy Hall, Barry Knight or Steve Bennett to name a few who I wouldn't want.

remember Alan Gunn????

Looks like Millwall top scorer Steve Morrison is out of Saturday's game. That should help us.

Everytime I have seen him he looks awkward but clearly knows where the goal is. Hopefully their reserve strikers are cackamondo

Where did you see this? I cant find it

http://www.southlondon-today.co.uk/tn/Sport.cfm?id=15762&headline=Morison%20may%20be%20ruled%20out%20for%20Swindon%20clash

And Lester Shapter as well as Kelvin Morton, who in the late 80's in 2 successive years sent Town players off at Filbert street, as we drew 3-3 after being 3-0 up and the following season 2-2 after being 2-0 up.

If my memory serves me right in the second game sent of David Kerslake within a few minutes of the start.

lester shapter...........stirs some rage up!

This may seem pretty random but its got to be told, I've just heard that a woman is begging people for a spare Millwall ticket, on freecycle, after she threw her husbands away by accident!  :doh: If that was me, I would be going mad! Anyone on here?

If that was me, I'd be packing her bags

With you on that one. First time to Millwall for me, can't wait!

I'm a Millwall virgin as well. I would describe my mood as mildly apprehensive.

Ha ha, this will be my 10th time, everytime has been an "experience" one way or another, and this will be the first time there maybe something riding on it, it's going to be interesting to say the least!

I remember going to Millwall last year and being 5 mins late because someone threw themselves on the train track. Definatley always an experience.

Oh yes..........jammed on the train with the Wall.

for me and Zoe too! Will you look after us? Your so manly and that! HA!

I am quite manly actually. I've been working out :D

My boxfit instructors been teaching me some punches!

Dunno if it's been mentioned, but Steve Morison's out for this game according to my Millwall supporting friend :)

I can't wait. Gonna get all tooled up

2nd time for me, can't wait!

I am looking forward to it..its what supporting your club is all about...a full house at a good ground and a bit of a squeak of automatic promotion....a nice bottle of red on route to Paddington will help me settle abit...then hopefully we demolish them on the pitch just as Rovers equalise in stoppage time at Elland Road.

Going to Millwall is brilliant. It's a proper hostile atmosphere.

quite looking forward to sampling the atmosphere there, been told that even when they get 7K they're loud as fuck!

Manly?!
Id feel more safe with you than with John :D

hopefully the gloryhunters may dilute the atmosphere as far as hostility is concerned. the locals are quite miffed at being taken over by the the part timers.

So is this Market Porter close to London Bridge?.

Gonna listen to the radio for this one, nobody would come with me.
Besides I am currently sporting stitches  :nod:

Don't you come crying to me when the Millwall lads come to kick your head in.

I wont... cos you would have legged it and be no where to be seen :p

2 minute walk, opposite the borough market.

The last 2 times I've been to Millwall there's been fuck all atmosphere, let alone a hostile one. Half the time the home fans didn't make any noise and the other half they just do a strange humming noise.

Cheers.

Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllll

Millllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll...in a low tone gradually getting louder...gets on your tits after ten mins.

one note, you've only got one note...

Does anyone remember that kid wearing sunglasses and waving his scarf around?

Fixed for you.

And the one the other side, doing blow job motions the whole game, neither of them watched a minute of the game.

quite looking forward to this now, we've got a few charlton and leeds fans at work...good banter this week!

ooh yes, really looking forward to this now.   Trying to picture my mood on Sunday, what will it be:

 ;D and  :headhurts:
or
bit  :( and   :headhurts:

Hope head does not hurt from running fast away from thuggish Millwall fans.

We're going to make a great noise in the away though, aren't we?

If everyones standing the atmosphere will be better, but if sat I can see it being quite flat.

My first visit to Millwall on Saturday :D cannot wait.

I would imagine we'll either have to score early, or sing in the gaps they aren't to be heard, they are normally pretty loud for home fans.

With it being unreserved seating, hopefully all those who are there to make some noise will get together, stand up and sing their hearts out!!

First visit for me too.  Travelling on the coach to be met at the other end by my bro who lives about 25 mins from The Den.  He's planning to drift along looking like a Millwall fan until he reaches the Swindon contingent, not sure how that will work when he needs to make his way home?!  Starting to feel pretty nervous about the whole event now.

If he spends most of his time breathing through his mouth and dragging his knuckles around he'll be fine.

This...anyone who hasn't yet been is going to think it's a top atmosphere because it will be on Sat, but as standard they are just an average-good L1 side on and off the pitch, playing in a ground they are lucky to half-fill most weeks. It really isn't anything special, although Satuday should be!

They wern't very loud last year, but i bet it will be on Saturday. Im going with two friends one of which is a Hammers fan. :doh: but his missus has become a Swindon fan. :clap:

I wonder if Stuwall  got his ticket sorted for this one?

God what to wear! That's the next problem!

This wouldnt be a bad idea

[url width=600 height=507]http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ProtektorVestEN-600x507.png[/url]

You're making it sound worse than it actually is Gaz. It really isn't that bad.

I know I have been there before :D when we got Promoted from L2. the season after!

Unsure if mentioned elsewhere but if Morison is injured then Gary Alexander could start. Curse of the ex striker?

What will make the day even better is a second Bavarian beerhouse has opened in London - with a live Oompah band flown in specially from Bavaria. Waitresses in traditional Bavarian dirndls, ice cold German beer in Steins and Bavarian food, including pork shanks and of course sausages and sauerkraut.

Let hope we can get promoted :beers:

Where is this? If it's half en route I may have to stop off on the way back. Apparently the first one is supposed to be Bavarian yet sells Warsteiner?!

P.S. I am buzzing more than an electrocution victim.

The first one is near the eye hospital isn't it? Near old street tube?

Much rather have Alexander playing than someone who can't even spell their name right.

 :girlgiggle:

and errr thanks Gaz but I was thinking more alongs the lines of something I could get in New Look when I pop in on my lunch hour!  ;D

Wear some Stone Island....

And a Burberry cap.

My God I can't wait for tomorrow!

9.29 here we come!

I wish I was getting to London earlier now rather than 1 hour 20mins before kick off.

Getting the 10.30 in Paddington for 11.30.......then straight to London Bridge and the Market Porter for a few settlers.

Market Porter for 11ish for me. Already missing most of my nails!

Doesn't the MP not open til 12?

Opens 6am on market days, was in there around 10.45 couple of seasons back, so be surprised if that's changed.

http://www.markettaverns.co.uk/The-Market-Porter/

Open at 12 on a saturday.

Balls, bunch of grapes for 30 mins then.

ok, where in the grapes/

about 100 yds before the market porter as you come out of LB, but on the left hand side of borough high street just down a side road.

cheers chap. will try and find it or the all bar one nearby.

Yippeeeee. No work for me = game.

Now to work out which train to get. Might see you in the MP/Grapes.

Oooh - so are we Leefer. We might get to meet at last  :mwah:

The all bar one is just outside the main entrance to LB on the left, the bunch of grapes is good if you are a smoker as the outside is downstairs and covered mainly.

If you make it, i'll be with a fair few MOS reprobates.

great, will hopefully be on the 10:29 from Swindon so see you there. If you could wear a "Not KR" T-shirt I'll say hello.

All Bar One for em and a few others. Really looking forward to the game.

You going to Blues before as well?
