22 other teams have the same problem when facing Millwall at home.

I imagine they'll bring a fair few given their recent resurgence. No alternative than to throw a large number of old bill in there, they're bound to start something. They always do unfortunately.

On the subject of policing, there will surely be a high number for the wycombe game after what happened last time we were on sky.

But will the police do anything surely a shaved monkey could just wave that camcorder around with your mate standing next to you, always trouble with Millwall they should be kept in the ground until at least half an hour after the end and then put straight onto coaches they shouldn't be allowed to drive to the ground

I think recent antics at our matches will mean extra police at all our remaining games, costly too.

What are they expected to do though?

I personally think there should be a no mans land between fans and between the pitch and fans. Anybody steps in there without permission then it's no holds barred stuff.

It would be great entertainment!

Never mind at least we didn't spend any cash in the window so it may as well get spent elsewhere, as I can't see us getting a refund on the season ticket fir the shit they have produced

They could send some big ugly coppers who will put people off doing stupid things.

They do have a bad reputation but its not all down them.
The reason they had an issue last season was that none of them knew how to get back to the station, most fans from London come on the Train.
Millwall only had two coaches at game last year so the rest had to make own way back to City Centre.
Till the Club/Ricoh/ACL/ Council sort out transport this problem will be more common.
As I understand it they are told at Coventry Station how to get to Ricoh but no one tells them how to get back and they all leave at same time.
Who is responsible for transport?

I still remember watching about 15 young cov fans goading the Millwall fans who were getting onto coaches. Giving them loads.

One old boy started walking over, the young lads were near enough in tesco by the time Id turned round.

They have to get home, how do they do that, no working station, no bus signs, a few taxis is all they have.
All I am saying is its not just down to Millwall having a reputation.
Someone is responsible, if its down to themselves then what would you do, start walking?

Jump in a taxi or get on a coach. If I was driving walk to my car.

I wouldn't start smashing shit up or kicking off because a bus wasn't magically there to come and take me.

My goodness Nick why do you have to argue all I am saying its was not all down to them?.
They wanted to go home, how do they get back to the Train Station, the Police gave them an escort as they were already on the Foleshill road looking for busses and taxis.
Not defending them just asking who is responsible to transport?
If anyone was to blame its the Old Bill for walking them past the Wheatshief? It would have been easier and cheaper for someone to hire a couple of old double decker busses and get them back to Station quicker. The British Transport Police at Station directed them to Pool Meadow they got on public transport and expected to go back the same way.

Lets hope our lot dont do anymore pitch invasions as it will be like a red rag to a bull for millwall to use it as an excuse to kick off. I can see it turning a lot nastier than the su game if they do

Pointing out that not having transport arranged from Ricoh to town is no excuse for violence is hardly arguing! I would ban Millwall fans till they decide to behave like decent human beings and playing them doesn't put people off taking their kids and stuff. But given what was recently revealed about you I guess it's no surprise you jump to the defence of the likes of Millwall.

I wasn't arguing, just discussing it.

Whether they have a bus waiting or not it doesn't excuse anything, do they not have brains to figure things out for themselves? Without being told, they kick off?

Just don't understand it. That's all.

Why not just do it like some eastern Europeans do and meet in a field?

Add that to if there's a protest and you have trouble.

I would think some will get them in, this wouldn't be my choice of protest and especially to tomorrow as they don't need any winding up, the one at leaving on 80 minutes is a better idea

I've been to lots of away games and not once have I assumed somebody else was going to plan travel to and from the ground for me. Its not like the information is hard to find these days.

But if you really want to complain about public transport it would go back to the council surely? There's lots of things in their Ricoh travel plan that they never actually bothered to implement.

Done that
Its down to the Ricoh to organise the safety of fans getting to and from the Arena.
However, it only kicks in if over 10,000

The Trust did a lot of work on this, they did a full investigation and its still on going.
They reported this to the SCG and did a full presentation on findings that's how I am aware about the Millwall situation.

What a ridiculous comment, I don't go to any away game without a plan of how to get home, you look at the services available and plan accordingly, there may be a lack of services but you know about that before you travel, before you buy your ticket even.

If this is the case I would love to have seen them trying to get home from Oxford.
