MILLWALL FC PART 6 THE PEOPLES GAME

MILLWALL FC PART 6 THE PEOPLES GAME

[@Isleofskye]

Crowds reaction at 4.35-4.55 sums up the euphoria magically of those halcyon days ON THE TERRACES... Totally different class to the sanitised, soulless, silent Stadia of today... ....and those celebrations were just to see Millwall equalise at home to Norwich...

[@Isleofskye]

9 years on and I miss The OLD DEN even more...

[@eJasminde]

Agreed. I hate what football has become now. The corporations, the sterility, the all-seater bowls, the plastic fans. Don't give up hope that one day people power will bring back the terraces, as a lot of people feel the same way... but for now, I'd go as far as to say I've fallen out of love with the game that was once everything to me. It's sad.

What a fascinating documentary thank you posting , Millwall till I die millllllllllllllllllll

[@guitarlover302]

Seem very loyal fans ! Not all hooligans by any means

[@seanpaulluke]

As an Arsenal fan I lost interest as soon as we went to The Emirates. It became soulless. I went to non league (Boreham Wood) and haven't looked back. I did go to The Den for the first time recently and it's what football is for me. No one is on their phones, people are behind the team and it's a proper stadium.

Never went to the den must of been a great ground to go to back in the day 👍

[@telmillwall]

@1878EFC2008 agree 100% Bring back the terraces

[@MUFC-e4p]

The invalid people! Brutal 😂

[@mrkipling2201]

Remember watching that game against Norwich millwall were 2 nil down after 5 minutes couldn't believe that!!

[@garethfreeman3436]

Yep...was live on terrestrial TV (in the days before 'SKY' ruined it)...and Robert Fleck scored a cracking volley from just outside the box, in the 89th minute...to win it 3-2 for Norwich...

[@mrkipling2201]

@@garethfreeman3436 totally agree with you.

[@telmillwall]

Cheers mate

[@eJasminde]

@UlsterGroundhopper Well I should mention that I only started going to football around 1992, so I am speaking from a posiion of ignorance about the 80's experience. The things you mention do seem unpleasant, but then likewise I feel that the negative aspects of today's experience are unpleasant in different more subtle way. I believe there is a way to meet in the middle - where we allow controlled standing/singing/atmosphere/cheap tickets etc and still have a respectful and enjoyable experience!

[@mrkipling2201]

Glad it's not only me who thinks modern football is absolute shite.

[@infokemp]

CPFC don't make me laugh, my brother supported CPFC for one year in 1994 & said that even when you was winning you crowd never even roused a voice. The most boring club in London, the Den always has a great atmosphere. The first game I saw Millwall was 1987 & we beat Liverpool 4-1, Millwall always supports our club if we win or loose only once have I seen Millwall supporters berate the team. Come on you Lions! MFC & England forever!

[@rogerramjet7055]

ur gonna make me fukin cry. tony & teddy, going top of first in '89 (day off school for all), hurlock my luv, that wally brian horne in goal. black ron over deptford pk & taking us round in that dodgy van (seeing 'chelsea smilers' on every corner), getting a pink t-shirt instead of blue when team came dep pk cos sheringham thought I was a girl with me long hair. baker used to get it on halloween. was at that norwich game (lags). was u there last day, malcolm allen passed penalty 2 BRov keeper?

[@telmillwall]

around 1990 mate

[@TheGiantKillers]

@eJasminde Really though? bringing back the fan at the back of the stands who urinates into a crisp packet and throws it at the fans in front. The being herded like animals in cages to watch the game, The being hit by a missile thrown from opposition fans. Football was dying, hooligans were killing it and it had to change. I for one don't miss the 80s experience and feel that the spectator experience has changed dramatically for the better.

[@michaelharrison3602]

IfSitting down eating a prawn sandwich and sipping a skinny decaf latte while watching a jolly civilised game of footy is your idea of a good Saturday afternoon or suppose you're right. Personally I prefer a manky meat pie and a bovril and throwing bags of piss at the other teams supporters having a tear up then going to the pub and laughing about the day. wasn't very civilised but it WAS FUN

@1878EFC2008 Not wrong there mate. I remember as a teenager at the end of the eighties and early nineties stood on the Lowfield Road Paddock. Go to Elland Rd now and you can see the half empty east stand where 33 quid is the cheapest ticket. I've lived in Germany for 18 years now and take my kids to Hannover home games where you can still stand on the terraces (and its very safe), the fan culture is still alive and ticket prices from €6 for the kids to a max of €45 for VIP seats

[@jacksonpauljackson2557]

Totaly agree stopped going to games when all seat came in killed the game
