Yes it was Stephen, about 150 good lads,many older as well. We tried to walk the Old Kent Road on a Tuesday night to surprise them. Long story.

When we got near Millwalls ground, Millwall were stunned by our numbers. Police could not control both sets.
To be fair Millwall came straight out in the road calling us on.
Police got between, but then for 5 mins it was all quite, till we got near a pub on the corner, 2 Cardiff lads were quitley in there from Ebbw Vale and ran out smacking Millwall from behind, some of the Valley lads with us picked up the crash barriers and hurled them at Millwall. It just went of and police were just battering both sides.

There was about 350 Cardiff up there on a Tuesday night, mickey mouse cuo including 200 lads in the ground. Some had gone by train as well.

In the ground for a 2,000 crowd, the atmosphere was volatile for 90 mins.

We got the tube from central London to millwall for that game. We got walked to the ground by one of their old heads who was banned at the time. Told us 200 City had been drinking in their main pub all afternoon. Never been more scared in my life.

Great atmosphere for such a small crowd.

Neil, Yes we drank all day in the Elephant and Castle on the edge of the Old Kent Road.
Made our own way to the ground, no escort.

Brilliant atmosphere in the ground :thumbright:

Streets around were quite intimidating.

We were late due to traffic. I think that may have stopped us getting battered. After the game was terrifying. They were mad.

I used to run coaches everywhere back mostly in the 80's, from the Rhondda-Chelsea, Scunthorpe, Swansea, Man City, Chesterfield, Wrexham, Welsh Internationals etc etc...great times with lifelong friends. Razzer, Gogey, Boundy, Saycey, Fattie Evans, Flaherty, Connelly, Gedgie, Coot,Bomber, Parsell and many many more, nearly all lovable lunatics!

I think this game was on sky a few seasons ago and Scott Malone was playing for Millwall.

If that was this game Olly was in charge and Shittu scored for them. :cry:

I also recall a NP game versus them also on SKY when Tony Warner was in goals for them and we lost 1-3. Willie Boland let a corner in over his head. :banghead:

No, he was on the goal post but the corner floated over him - it only had to go 6 foot as he was too short to head it away!

I suspect Alexander was in goals.

Oh this is just ridiculous! How many more games do I have to miss due to SKY! With my work I have to plan my annual leave along time in advance so I booked the time off for Reading away and Millwall away! Both moved to a week night so can't go now and have some time off which is basically useless now! Thanks SKY! Thanks a lot. Even wondered whether to go to Birmingham away but then that moved too!

NOW SKY PLEASE....I'm planning on driving to Norwich away match on the Saturday 14th April and meeting up with family there then driving to theres for a day or 2 then coming home to Wales! I've booked the time off already for it and we are all planning on going! If you move this game as well that will be all my time off this season that I have booked for away football matches wasted! Luckily I've managed to go to some other away matches already anyway but it's taking the mick!
