    Everyone's got some nutters, but in my experience Millwall and West Ham are the worst.
    Don't like the Sheff. Utd reference...years since I've been there. Any parking suggestions for Saturday?

    I'm afraid parking tips are out of my jurisdiction. Unless you want parking tips on South East Asia where I've more or less settled down. No problems for me about bumping into any away fan from any country. We end up having drinks and lengthy footy discussions. I've even met a few Rams here. Let's say we forgive each other for choice of clubs although they're quite piqued that I'm behind theirs and your promotion push this season

    Did you go to the quarter final of the milk cup at West Ham in the 90s when they sat our fans right in the middle of theirs .... and expected no trouble!!!

    My worst was taking two Arsenal (or should I say Bottomnal?) fans into the C-Stand and getting hauled out for our own safety after they jumped up and cheered when Merson scored.

    So I can fairly say that my worst experience is from my own brethren - trust me you are a scary bunch....

    I wouldn't (won't) jump up at Millwall or indeed anywhere else. Its a case of respecting where you are. I dont expect people to do it at Derby although plenty have. At BBG Everton always had at least one among the home fans and Utd have a prawn sandwich eater at every ground.

    At Millwall we will enjoy the hospitality and the game and then get in to Shoreditch PDQ afterwards.

    Koreans are wonderfully civil fans. I remember once watching a game in Seoul. They were playing Saudi Arabia. I had a wager on the Arabs. So there I sat amongst the home fans and the Saudis scored and forgetting where I was, shouted in ecstasy.
    Then someone tapped me on the shoulder and I turned and realised what I had done. So to extricate myself I promptly changed tune and shouted Go Korea. They all laughed but I wasn't bothered further by them.

    Yes we were robbed by the linesman disallowing a late winner for an incorrect offside decision. There was also a savage foul that took out one of our players. Our seats were in the middle of their seats, miles away from our standing fans. We lost the second replay.

    Exactly where we were and yes that was the game. I remember the carnage underneath the stand before and at half time. Yeah we were robbed but playing Kevin's Francis if I remember rightly always a strange decision 😀

    Manx like you say just keep it buttoned and enjoy the day and let others them no problem. Been there a few times. Can you do it tho?

    Before the fixtures were announced we had originally planned to host him at Derby but that's dropped Dec 23 so not easy getting off Craggy Island for that one.

    I hope we do 3 up early doors so the majority of home fans leave early!!
    I have got a couple of Millwall mates so I might have a similar scenario if I go down to meet them for the game.
