Sadly I was lounging round the pool in Florida, when the game took place(someone has to) but for various reasons, I spend a lot of my working week in south london, literally 3 minutes from the new den, so it amused me no end to see all the posts on here, of people worried about wearing shirts, buildingthe place up to be some sort of another world.
Firstly 90 percent of millwall fans no longer live in the area, to stand on the corner of the old kent round and ilderton road, after matches, you would be amazed at the amount of traffic turning left down towards sidcup etc.
the ones that are left live in a fairly small area called "The blue" which is just round the corner fro m the ground, comes under the bermondsy rotherhithe area. this is one of the last true working class white areas of south east london. the chavvy kids tend be rewarded with attendance at school with free tickets to millwall games, lewisham council work closely with the club to promote the club, the trouble is most the kids in the lewisham area have no interest in millwall, due to the fact that they are african, east european or the new immigrants south americans(not your image of brazilian beauties) bouncing up and down the old kent road!!! but nasty little chileans or bolivians, most here illegally. As a club millwall would get better attendances if they moved to the borders of london and kent.
the area around the ground is a dreadful area, and when the fans rioted after the last playoff match, it was really funny to see africans coming on to the news and moaning that there cars were set a light, and that they could claim on insurance, as the cars were out of tax and uninsured.
Fo those travelling by train, the fans go staight back to london bridge and then onto destinations further afield. The pubs all around the ground have now become african restaurants ie the infamous canterbury arms, once the unoffical headquarters of the national front(shame!!) is now a ghanian cafe
selling rat(i kid you not!!)
Its not an area that is scary for a football fan, only if you white and its late at nite
