"Just touching upon how other supporters see us and their perceived lack of history as far as Millwall FC is concerned, it always makes me laugh. For example, in season 1937/38 when Leeds finished 9th in Division 1, their average attendance was around 21,000. We were a Division 3 (South) club....2 leagues below, yet averaged 22,500. In season 1938/39, Leeds' average had dropped to less than 20,000. Ours was up to 26,500, and would have been a few more had our Boxing Day game with West Ham not been postponed and played in midweek in front of nearly 30,000 less than had been anticipated in the original fixture. In that 38/39 season, by the way, more than half of our home games were played out in front of crowds topping 30,000. Had not the ground and surrounding community been blitzed and our stand burned down during a wartime amateur cup final, the entire history of Millwall FC would have been very different, indeed. For there is no doubt that Millwall were a major football force on the rise at that time. Here is a fact too : On September 3rd 1896 we thrashed the German FA XI 9-0 at Millwall. When did war break out....? September 3rd 1939. Adolf never forgave us for that humiliation of his country and was hell bent on revenge. Please note the date: 1897. A mere 22 years before Leeds Utd OldCo were formed and well over a century before Leeds Newco was formed. By which time we had played in three FA Cup semi-final matches. Not bad for a club with no history..." whiskylion
You missed out all the major trophies that you've won Geezer, domestic and European hurry up and edit your post before some of the big boys come along and tell you about real history
Your fans are learning Olof we8csum 11:54 AM on 26/07/2014 We must have the only Ferrari owner that has converted it so it can run on red diesel, gets it serviced at Kwik Fit and only has 3rd party insurance. Our owner loves the Ferrari image but is so greedy he won't run it properly. QUALITY
It is funny how since he said Cagliari was the Fiat 500 and Leeds the Ferrari, all he's done is try and buy players that even the Fiat 500 wouldn't touch with a barge pole - and even they wouldn't sign for him The only one that looked any good looked at them getting thumped by a League 2 side and did a runner pronto
So in the days before people had cars to travel,they had no choice but to watch crap.But now they do you get 6000 got it.
Didn't you play the other side of the river in the old days ?.Bad move WHU went onwards and upwards,you went to the dogs.
Oh Contraire!! We have 129 of amazing history A mere 122 years before "Leeds United 2007 Ltd" was formed Out of unterest, what have you won in those 7 long seasons as a Newco?
Unfortunately for you the people who matter don't agree with you.But even if they did we have been better than millwall for every one of the years we have been going.Some things never change.
Go on then, I'm intrigued, I'm sat nice and comfy, tell us about these 129 years of history you have out of interest, what have you won in those long 129 years as the Wallies?
