I booked in June when fixtures came out and paid £32. You won't get anything less than £50 now i'm sure. With you leaving it late then National Express might be cheapest option. Last train back at 8.55pm is usually pretty cheap still if you didn't want to come back on the bus.

Trick is to book in advance! We've already booked for Coventry & Fleetwood even though they're both a while away. Trains to Blackpool in particular via Manchester are dead cheap in advance.

Use megatrain/megabus in future and book well in advance.

The trick is... to get your mate to drive you down

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.

Hmm I would suggest that discretion would still be the better part of valour despite that sound advice.
I've seen people get clonked with no provocation down there so enjoy yourselves cautiously, and certainly no raucous choruses of 'millwalls a sh**hole I want to go home' sung in the streets around the ground, as there are some bad people down there who don't play nicely!
They do hold Chesterfield with some affection down there, especially those who are old enough to recall their visit here at the end of the 82/3 season, apparently they really enjoyed themselves.

Just a tip for those travelling around London on satdi, use a contactless debit card rather than buy an Oyster or Travel Card. It calculates all your journeys and wont charge you beyond the Oyster card travel limit for the zones you use. They can now be used on buses also and are much cheaper than travel cards. Just make sure you swipe in and out.

And you won't have to buy the Oyster card either

Not everyone has contactless up here yet, been a problem for us when we've gone down and tried to get on the bus, as they don't accept cash

Unless your bank account is an absolute train wreck (or a Basic) every bank is dishing them out now.

I've had one a while, just remember the last time we went down for gillingham we had problems as one card could only pay for two people, luckily the driver let everyone on anyway to save time.
