looks like it might be fun with a fair few in the home end looking at there messagebords

Terry Gibson's perm · Apr 11, 2016

Another that I am going to be missing these birthday parties are a pain.

Cobi Jones's Dreads · Apr 11, 2016

Don't know why we just don't give them more tickets our seasons been over for weeks let them enjoy there day out in numbers.

breadbin · Apr 11, 2016

Agree why take the chance of trouble flaring up in the home end just give them more tickets

Nick · Apr 11, 2016

Isn't it the Police preventing it rather than the club?

breadbin · Apr 11, 2016

It must be but are they going to police the cash turnstiles

I do remember a bit of trouble near the staircase going to Tesco last time we played them, saying that this time around they'll probably about 8K Cov fans and most would have left by the 80th minute, not that I can blame them.

Nah they will be too busy sitting in their nice secure vans and having the odd person out with a camera recording things.

breadbin · Apr 11, 2016

There will be more police than fans

Ashdown · Apr 11, 2016

Yup, I'd guess the police numbers and overtime is vastly inflated whilst they try and keep the away fan numbers down to give them a peaceful afternoon, could backfire badly though if a couple of hundred Millwall fans get in the home ends. Question is does the large away support offset the extra police costs, if not then the Londoners are just costing CCFC money ?!

SkyBlueRuffian · Apr 11, 2016

I know a couple of Millwall supporters and apparently a load of them were attacked by Coventry fans outside a working men's club a few seasons back in Coventry.

They were on the coaches and getting a Police escort when it stopped outside some club. A load of City fans came running out and attacked the coaches. They reckon the Police set them up.

According to my Millwall friends all their top boys are paying us a visit this weekend.

Which working mens club? Sounds like Football Factory, OAP style.

pusbccfc · Apr 11, 2016

I can imagine a pitch invasion if they get a winner, just like us at Chesterfield.

To be fair, this will be the biggest police presence we have had in years, despite around 8k Cov being there.

Correct, A few Millwall did get done in, and well it hasn't sat well with them for a while...

Hoping all passes off peacefully and everyone can enjoy the football.

Yes, they're all coming by coincidence, it's their annual 'flag day'. They've had the added bonus of cheap tickets from Euston to Cov, £20 return or less I believe.

They wasn't sure what club it was ,being from London.

Can usually get that when you book in Advance, got Cov to Euston for 13.50 return before, bargain.

His team kicked off with their local rivals on Saturday he was on a video being held back, hilarious.

chiefdave · Apr 11, 2016

Is it the police who have come up with this plan? Why don't the CT ask them about it. Any idiot can see what is going to happen if you restrict tickets to away supporters and allow pay on the gate for home fans.

Who knows? I suppose whoever is behind it thinks that there is a better chance of having some degree of control of 1900 Millwall fans than say 4000. It's a really short sighted decision by who ever made it. Agree with what you say "any idiot can see what is going to happen".

Nick · Apr 11, 2016

I think it is the police, they aren't known for being the brightest.

I just hope the club have the sense to keep it safe, I am not sure if I fancy groups of them sat in the JSB stand. If there is no pay on the day by the scoreboard, where are they going to go?

breadbin · Apr 11, 2016

They will still have cash turnstiles in the corner by 31 so how are they going to stop them walking up to 15 etc when there in the stand

Exactly, and in the concourse...

LB87ccfc · Apr 11, 2016

You wont know they are their if they behave and just watch the game.

And their wont be huge numbers of them all together to be honest will their.

Stupid handling of the situation from the police and the committee at the club allowing this to happen though, and someone should be made accountable if things turned sour.

Any away fans in home areas is a potential for trouble but this could be explosive. Theyre not exactly known for their diplomacy with other fans.

Yeah , saw that . seems to be plenty of coverage of him spouting off but , no coverage of him landing a punch .

chiefdave · Apr 11, 2016

If the police are that worried they should do something similar to what happens at Portsmouth v Southampton games.

You have to take a club coach from the home ground to the away ground, which are police escorted. Then keep them in after the match until the home fans have dispersed and load the coaches back up for the return trip.

covlad1993 · Apr 11, 2016

I don't understand how the likes of Leeds are allowed 6000 to come to us, but wont let Millwall even bring over 3000... Is it because we cant afford the police anymore? Either way its one game I am looking forward too!

coop · Apr 11, 2016

Why don't they give them extra tickets to the away end and police them before the game and keep them in the ground for 20 minutes after the final whistle.

CV22SBA · Apr 11, 2016

They have one of the lowest away averages in the league. If they've sold 1900 anyway are really that many more gonna travel? There biggest away following since Xmas was only 1700 and that was a derby match against Colchester. Took only 1200 to Swindon a few weeks back and only 700 to Walsall.

They can only get tickets if they are signed up members and registered to do so. They also get a restricted number of tickets due to the police. Their support in general is a lot better than ours
