Have a friend who is in London, just arrived for short trip to see friends.
He likes Leeds Utd. Coincidentally they are playing in London on Sunday.
Playing away at……. Millwall.
He’s saying he wants to go to the game.
I’m trying to tell him. It’s not like going to the footy here. You can’t just go and sit anywhere and still support the away team. Especially not at Millwall.
I don’t know how he would go about getting a ticket in the away section? Especially at this late stage. Are they essentially sold only to Leeds season ticket holders?
From what I have observed, the recognised away support get escorted in and out of the neighbourhood and ground by police, usually from the train that has come in from Leeds.
Sure, he could probably get a ticket to the game easy enough. But would only be able to go along and act as a neutral observer, if in normal general admission.
In the context of the UK, probably only finding oneself among opposing supporters on Old Firm weekends in Glasgow. Or being among the away support at those Rangers v Celtic match ups might compare to the fear factor of Millwall away.I've done the Millwall trip a couple of times. Not sure how, but even when you are in a completely different stand to their home support you feel intimidated. I've never been to a stadium and felt like I have at Millwall.
If he goes in the home end tell him 1 thing - NO CLUB COLOURS.
I went the first time on the official supporters coach, you get escorted in from the motorway by the police and out again (they have these big iron gates that isolate the whole away end from the rest of the ground.
The 2nd time I was living in London, I travelled via Tube (I had my tickets from the club) and wore plain clothes (I actually wore blue colours) and even though we lost, acted all happy when I left the ground to try and blend in with their support haha.
I've been to some dodgy places where you can be beaten up, but nothings quite like Millwall.
Wolves should survive again Redders.Another typical Wolves performance. Go 1-0 up then Cunha misses an absolute dead set sitter in the box to go 2-0 up. Then, Wolves defence just *smile* itself and gives up late goals. Again.
Watching Wolves is like watching Richmond. They miss nearly every single opportunity to the point where you feel we must have at least 6 Shai Boltons playing for us. Then, the back half starts leaking like a siv and it becomes a *smile* fight.
Relegation looking highly likely at this point.
They’re like celery. No good.Wolves should survive again Redders.
Theres some dire teams below at the minute, Sheffield, Bournemouth, Burnley, and of course Luton even Everton are going like busteds. Forrest arent out of the question either but are gathering early points which is important for lower ranked clubs early.
Thats 6 other relegation contenders at this stage and thats a fair few this early on into a season.

Don’t dare show any pleasure in that result if dispersing with the home crowd. Got to try and act as miserable as hell.
Spurs.
Ange.
That’s all.
Bloody hell. Makes you grateful each teams fans can associate with each other in the AFL.
Millwall fans reaction to the loss. I suspect they were 0-3 down at this point.
True.Bloody hell. Makes you grateful each teams fans can associate with each other in the AFL.
Gotta say, I've never been to a world game match, but I've become slightly addicted to listening and watching all those post match podcasts and fan reviews etc.Pretty insane finish, but Ange teams have been known for doing this. You can never underestimate anyone in this league.
On another note, I joined OzSpurs ($20) and OneHotspur+ (£60) and applied for tickets to Brighton and Wolves games next February. The seats are located in Bay 251 at the bottom of the southern end (home end). Cost is £69 each.
I'm not guaranteed tickets via this method, but i have heard the success rate so far this season has been 100%. I'll find out mid-November if I have been successful.
It’s more the style Spurs play. It’s so good to watch. Same with Brighton. There’s a goal they scored at Old Trafford that is Barcelona pretty. Same with Angeball. Bissouema, Porro, Udogie and even Van Der Ve, all so quick on the ball and have such good first touch and can turn facing away from goal and go so quick.Pretty insane finish, but Ange teams have been known for doing this.

Hope you get there Ian..... I'm slightly envious.

Well... I'll looking forward to your post match footage as per the attachedI've got 3 different options for tickets. I'll be fine.
Yep, clubs will come for all them, Bissouema first I reckon, he just glides.If Udogie keeps this up, Citeh or Real Madrid might come knocking. He's a serious player. Fabio Paratici might be banned, but he's clearly still working his magic behind the scenes.
I wonder if every time Millwall just miss promotion playoffs each year (happens regularly), whether EPL officials breath a sigh of relief.Millwall. What an embarrassment.
