Thread | The least intimidating Millwall atmosphere
at 00:39 15 Feb 2024
Been to the old Den, been to the new one and that was a pale shadow of the usual welcome and atmosphere generated by Millwall fans.
No passion, no real noise.
I knew they were going through a rough patch and I didn’t expect a big crowd as it was on telly. But when you can read the lettering on the opposite stand clearly, you know the attendance is low.
And as for them walking out when the second goal went in, that was modern football at its worst.
I doubt any Millwall fan I experienced in the 80s would have done that and if they did leave early it was probably to provide some parting gift on the walk back to New Cross Gate.
It’s not like they’re a big six club where they’re so used to winning that on the odd occasion they end up getting beaten, the fans throw a tantrum.
You don’t go to support clubs like Ipswich, Millwall or West Ham expecting to win. You go hoping you win. And because you’ve experienced your fair share of defeats and failure, the wins and successes taste that little bit sweeter.
I just can’t get my head round seeing fans at proper clubs like Millwall and West Ham leaving early. I didn’t leave early when we lost 5-1 to Norwich but maybe it’s just me.
Either way, that was the least intimidating atmosphere I’ve ever known at Millwall and while I’m happy it was subdued and muted, it didn’t feel quite the same.

Thread | Saints sold out in 3 mins...then new block opens
at 10:19 8 Sep 2023
Saints tickets sold out in 3 mins, then they opened Block 43.
Good news it means everyone who wants a ticket should get one.
But I can't see why it wasn't available earlier. It was pretty obvious we were going to sell out today. |

Thread | Travelled in numbers but not in voice
at 21:53 3 Jan 2023
This isn’t meant to be an unpopular post or a dig but, for me, one of the most frustrating things about Monday was how flat our fans were.
Apart from the last 10 minutes, we never got going and if I’m being brutally honest we were outsung by the Lincoln yoof pretty much throughout.
Given our numbers, that really surprised me and you just felt the edginess in the stand.
Yes, the team didn’t play well and didn’t give us much to cheer but there’s obviously another side to that coin.
That’s when the team needs us more than ever. You could see Wolfy trying to rally the fans after Humphreys scored.
Like I say, I’m not having a pop at the fanbase because our travelling support is exceptional, particularly at this level.
And clearly the penalty decision was bonkers, even if KVY was equally as daft.
But it just never felt like a proper away day for me.
We can criticise the players but I think we sometimes underestimate how important a part the fans have to play. [Post edited 3 Jan 2023 21:55]

Thread | Please tell me we weren’t singing Ipswich are massive…
at 09:06 21 Aug 2022
Watched the Sky highlights this morning as I couldn’t go yesterday.
Thought I heard us singing Ipswich are massive everywhere we go.
Please tell me I need to get my hearing checked.
It’s the most cringiest song out there. If you go to a game at West Ham, you’ll appreciate why. (Just listen out for the DJ version)
But they’re a bunch of bell ends, on the whole we’re not.
Don’t mind the Norwich get battered version but if you’re copying West Ham fans, you need to give your head a wobble.
Other than that, all great. |

Fortuna Dusseldorf home shirt is rather nice. I like a pinstripe.

Thread | Lincoln home game selling well
at 10:03 25 Feb 2022
I might have missed this but the Lincoln home game seems to be selling well.
Was there a ticket promotion for that game? Apologies if already discussed. |
