Beautiful memory for any Spireite there that day as well. Thanks for reminding me Tim as I'd forgot about that one!

I meant off the pitch. Not a lot to do with Town fans really from what I recall reading - they were locked in some pub or other and bouncers and assorted thugs came out to effect a one-sided match up.

Yeah, that's what Karl was on about

My memory is a home game when they needed to win to stay up, I'm sure we threw the game to save the 2000 Town fans in the ground.

[Westbars Spireite]

Karl is badder than I thought.

Went to millwall v charlton 3 years ago, chairs and flares thrown in the ground, bottles and pitched battles in the streets outside. We had to run off (as neutrals).

Went to Brighton v millwall last year, their fans pushed through 2 lines of stewards and a segregation barrier to invade the family stand next to the away end.

Rotherham v millwall last year they kicked off in the ground

All myth though

They kicked the crap out of Rotherham and Brighton?

And we're portraying them as villains?

It's not 1979 and we're not West Ham.

Will be absolutely no problem at all.
It's a myth about their fans really.
No hooligan goes to run of the mill league 1 games- they may turn up for West Ham/Palace or Brighton , certainly no trouble against us.

I'll remind you of the last sentence after they've visited the Proact.

They have targeted every new ground visited in the last few years and caused mayhem at all of them.

Doncaster and Rotherham being the last two round here.

Some decent pubs in Surrey Quays estate if anyone dare to go.

Ah, the infamous flag days.

Come to take over.

Remember when Cardiff tried that?

Seriously, I'd give them 600 and not a single ticket more.

Some very good boozers in Greenwich 2mls from ground! Get river bus from embankment to Cutty Sark have a beer or two in Greenwich, £4 taxi to ground! Brill day all round! Enjoy!

Good shout that - a couple of hours in Greenwich village is ok

[Valley Blues]

One of Millwalls main pubs used to be down a side road just down from the Barrow Boy and Banker, the King something or other if I recall.
If you strut about in large groups drawing attention to yourselves, you may have a problem, like anywhere in the country really.
If you enjoy the local hostelries like the masses of tourists all over London, no problem at all.

The best pub in the area is the Dog and Bell in Deptford, proper old school friendly local with real ales no music, satellite tv, or fruit machines. But as you suggest there is nothing else in Deptford, and it has become very quiet on Saturday afternoons.

There are a few trendyish pubs in nearby new cross (Goldsmiths College influence), but I would recommend everyone wander around lovely Greenwich if they get there early enough then got to the game.

The fact this involves taking a part part way to the game interests me greatly.

I also recommend before and after the match The Rose Inn straight across from New Cross Gate railway station, big pub with football on tv, and a nice very big beer garden at the back. It was an ultra violent milwall pub in the 80's and early 90's I believe, but I never saw anything bad in there when I lived nearby from 2002 onwards. A few minutes walk up the road is the Marquis of Granby, Irish owners, always busy got football and is a mixture of Irish and SOUTH EAST LONDON locals, no real ales but otherwise good. I Never saw any trouble in there either.

I am sure that some of you on here will remember Millwall Keith, a colourful character who used to visit Chesterfield in his Hawaiian shirts. We met him whilst watching England. He died not long ago and we went to his funeral and all the old guard were there. They are all much older and calmer now and the young end were also very respectful, so as long as you treat them with respect I am sure that they will be fine with you. I am at a wedding otherwise I was going to meet them and have a drink, but when they come up here they are going for a drink with us.
