Match Day Thread Hull City v Millwall

[Tentotwo]

Me neither. Be easier to do that if they put them in Upper West at the South End, but then I suppose some go the other way to the coach park.

And anyway that would be less likely to avoid flashpoints so wouldn’t guarantee big numbers at the next game to boost the individual and organisational budgets!

By - product of a Community Stadium rather than a football ground.

More emphasis should have been on Home supporters creating a proper Kop end rather than a split home/away as it is now . Been Said many times but it’s been a total **** up from start to finish with away supporters now gleaming the limelight in full view of the TV multitudes. Away supporters should of been put out of sight in the South West corner allowing more home support too congregate in the North stand ( like Southampton have done) but Plod almost certainly don’t want the hassle of shepherding away support around the stadium to coaches.


UTT.

Is there a reason why plod don't send away fans down Anlaby road to and from the stadium?

Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to kettle rowdy away fans over the footbridge and send home fans down the road? Or wait until the away fans are across if they can’t be arsed with the extra 5-10 minute walk.

 

[Newland Tiger]

Sky TV has a lot to answer for but fingers will be pointed anywhere else but at them.

Tough game tonight.

All to play for.

Plenty of people complain about Sky on here but realistically what can
we as fans do about it ?

I was in Paragon when some away fans arrived by train and i was surprised plod wouldn't let them exit onto Anlaby road (as they were being told by google maps) but sent them left towards St Stephens. I guess after the game is a whole different ball game.

Could you put coaches in south stand car park?

 

[Phin T Bookbinder2]

Maybe Millwall if could be a little less animated by their paranoia and reputation there would be a tad less problems round the country when they tip up.

Yeah that no one likes us song makes me laugh , they aren’t significant enough to warrant any thought at all , have as much feelings about them as Port Vale or Reading . They want to think they are in people’s heads when most don’t really care

I thought we were twinned with them now after some previous posts?

Good point and I'm not sure why it couldn't have been managed that way.Millwall have a certain reputation and it should've been dealt with in a more efficient manner.

Old firm games in Glasgow and in particular at Parkhead back in the day,we're managed in such a way that two parallel streets(similar to Springbank and Anlaby Rd in so many ways) were used separately for Celtic fans and Rangers fans,it wasn't rocket science,albeit if they ultimately wanted to get at each other there were other areas that came into play.

As for the game,they edged it marginally in terms of build up play and muscle but they couldn't finish a fish supper!!! If the game opens up a bit more on Monday,and there's a big chance of that through fatigue,I'd fancy us to beat them on their own patch.

Safe journey to those going and hopefully there are no 'afters' and their local plod 'police' the event a bit more efficiently...

Big chance to progress to Wembley on Monday,I think theirs was last-night and I see us taking it.

UTT!!!

Whichever order they do it in, they certainly should have each group separate.
No idea what they did last night as I didn’t go that way, but the times the big gate has been up to keep fans apart and they then march the away fans up the slope to deliberately just blend in with home fans on the tightest section of the area, and the only part the Police are unable to get to from the side (the bridge crossing) is ridiculous.
They should either have no segregation at all, which I think would often actually stop problems as it avoids the gesturing from safely behind a fence winding both groups up, or take the away fans over the bridge en masse without mixing.

Fatih Terim: "A Turkish businessman and sportsman will first win Wembley in England, and I hope after that, the Premier League as well. This is a very important thing. I saw their hospitality today too. Wherever I see a Turk, I support them; wherever I see one, I go to them. Because whether playing with the crescent star on our chests or coaching the national team that stands up to the world, the crescent star means something very different to us." (AA)

Just been sat with some Millwall lads having breakfast in the hotel.
They were the same age as me and the banter was quite normal.
The one big point that they kept making was that in many ways both clubs are the same.
I’ve ended up with a couple of dodgy Rolex and a canteen of cutlery.

Got to agree with Steve on this one.

And they're going home with a box of vapes, some chip spice and a parcel of fish! No?

 

[TigerMarv]

Then what?

Have you seen Hunger Games

 

[TigerMarv]

All of his best games have come on the right. I know he’s got a couple of goals and assists when he’s been central but I can’t remember him having a properly good game when playing there.

Think the only good games centrally was when McBurnie was injured and he played as a 9 not a 10 or 8

 

[springtiger]

Think Slater was struggling after injury he won’t be up to pace yet - shame he’s key .

 

[TigerMarv]

Just read on a Millwall forum that that was their best away support of the season.

I thought for away fans they were very poor especially considering the occasion and didn't make much noise at all

He was still playing right and Joseph or Destan up top though other than the odd moments after subs.
