Where are turnstiles 42-45, we have opted for the West Stand tomorrow for a change. Are they through the Atrium or at the corner with the North stand
I imagine the queues are quieter there ?

First turnstiles you come to after the JH statue, there is a door for special needs for wheel chairs walking sticks etc. and a pay on the day door. Can start bunching up the last 30 minutes like any though.

Block 26 hasn't been opened for match tickets - kept for half season tickets - hard to know how many will be in it. Block 4 open. Just leaves Block 5 after that. Doubt it'll get to Block 13 this time.

Being live on Sky will deter some walk-ups but I reckon we will get around 25k home tomorrow depending on weather.

Club expecting 25,000

Leaves very few, if any general sale seats available.

Must be the 5th game this season where we have thousands of empty seats in the away unsold to home fans.

Club have said they are working on it but they need to find a way of sorting it this season. Maintain current play off push and games against Preston, Hull and Cardiff will be similar. Big home crowds and small away followings.

We can't keep throwing £££

There won't be many left for walk ups. There are only 25,000 general admission seats. Millwall have sold 700 apparently

Yeah, if we're in or just off 6th and playing well they'll need to find a way to make blocks 4-5 and block 13 open for the rest of the home games.

Like someone called out, there's already more sold for games in March / April than we had most of last season. New COO needs to get on it!

I’ve read their reasons for the debacle v Sheffield but apart from those reasons the searching causes most delay, it slows everything up often just one doing it.
Go to other grounds they have four or five at the turnstiles.

I was seemingly wrong to call them flat cap wearing fannies, they are flat cap wearing part time fannies.

Is it? The infrastructure is in place and it was used in the play offs last season.

If needs be we can move the away fans for now into the other side of the away stand and go with the Boro play off configuration. We only have to give away fans 2000 tickets.

Yeah, realistic best case is just put blocks 4-5, block 27 and block 13 on sale for the rest of the season if we win tmrw.

Let people get on the bandwagon and you can plan your staffing etc. in advance instead of a few days out. Easy!

For games like this and the ones mentioned above, surely they can use the layout from the play offs?

Those clubs won't need more than the 2000 Boro had and are lower risk games?

They have the 3rd lowest average away following currently.

They get decent crowds at home but clearly only travel to the odd games. If it was a Saturday 3pm, they may have sold 2000.

Well that’s rubbish away tickets get sold by the eve of a game, no pay on the day for away sit them nearer the West stand and I bet there’s a block and a half empty watch PL games and a row about four seats wide between fans well stewarded is suffice. Deal with any idiots home or away and the message will soon get home.
There’s always plenty of cops at that end.

They’ve sold 817 for tomorrow and their fans seem to think that’s a decent number.

I swear they used to have some kind of convoluted membership scheme that limited who could buy away tickets but either way that’s a dreadful following.

They were all over the Foleshill Road after the game. Took ages to get back to town.

Millwall forum is an excellent read.

Not one mention of football, just their running battles with Coventry over the years

When did these happen? Never seen any real trouble at their place when we play and apart from once they bring about 7 people to away games.

4000 of them came up to HR quite a few years back and it was a bit wild in town I think.

They wont do that, because that means using common sense and simple Tynan would have to do some work

They brought quite a few for the FA cup game in 2008 and think it kicked off then too.

I’m sure you’re right they are just doing what they’re doing to lose money and piss the fans off
