If getting into the Premiership/Champions League makes you forget about the roots of the fans that have enjoyed your 100 years of up and mainly down history, I hope we never ever get there <ok>

You know you have no chance of it ever happening; so it is easy to give it Billy Big Bollox online and say, 'I never want my club to be successful'.

We are happy where we are, so we don't come on your board seeking attention.

You guys are obviously in an unhappy place so come over here to vent your rage.

I don't care if a load of tiddlies support Wall; why do you care about who supports Chelsea?
 
That's it though mate - a few years ago I did care about who supported them - not now - modern day Chelsea are in the same bracket as Man Utd and Arsenal - you enjoy your succes and more importantly, enjoy the 1 or 2 games you can afford each season (unless you're one of the new breed)
In which case can I have some extra prawn crackers please <cheers>
 
Anyway. There's no point in talking to you fellas about modern footie.

So: nostalgia... what's the biggest numbers you've taken away in your memory?

Upton Park, the Lane??

And the biggest numbers you've seen at The Den? United??

I happen to know you boys are going to be in a lot of bother financially in the not so distant future. So you better learn it's called the Blue Square Premier.
You'll see it soon! <laugh>

We currently hold the refcord for the best attendance for a domestic team at the new Wembley with 45,000 against S****horpe.

Most rival fans bring up the 'attendance' when having conversations on here with us. You will always have a greater number of fans than us and for 90% of your history you have done. We have much lower attendances for many reasons, reputation of being a club that people associate with violence, catchment area, not being on TV, not having the 'glamour', not having famous players....the list goes on.

The thing that we can say is that WE ARE MILLWALL, we were, we are and we will be till we die. Many of your fans that have to sit at home to watch your club would agree that they would rather be like us. I have more respect for Charlton than Chelsea - not the fans but the people who sold your club and their souls.

Millwall - The biggest small club in the world.

Didn't stop us taking huge numbers away even in Div 2 when we were getting poor home crowds.

Anyway, anyone care to answer my question... what's the biggest following you've taken to West Ham etc.

Not Wumming. Just curious. Millwall have a great away following, especially in relation to home crowds. Maybe the best
 
Sometimes I don't know why I bother.

Ok, 1 Wall is worth 1000 Chelsea, there I said it.

You love your club, we love ours.

Just because we have success and some glory hunter hangers on, doesn't mean the rest of us aren't anymore or less of a 'real fan'.

In fact when we were **** we still had better crowds than you.
 
I think this thread should be closed as it has attracted the usual bad comments. Football was a working class pursuit but has been changed by money or success.
