What hapend after the match

[soulman101]

Whilst waiting to get off the academy car park, there was riot vans driving on blue lights down Halfords lane towards the Metro. Later we saw ambulances with blue light.

Its Millwall. Always been the same.

Certainly as we were leaving from the East Stand, there was the inevitable threatening from tha Millwall crowd. A number were endeavouring to climb over to confront our fans who were beckoning. A few missiles (water bottles) being thrown.
I guess matters continued after they were let out ?

Hi Prando, ive got a season parking on the academy,always used the metro the last few seasons. But after a few near misses going down the steps at the Metro and my niece being pregnant. Felt using my car was the best option, only problem turning right at the Halford's to go down Forge lane.

If anyone thought today was a bit “tasty” with the Millwall morons then you weren’t there when we beat them in the 83-84 cup match.

The only time I have come close to s h I t t I n g my pants at a match.

Really threatening bunch of thugs attached to this horrible little club.

Was that the night, they were put in the Rainbow stand and started running over the exec boxes.
Ist time iv'e come up against Millwall was at Orient with the Blues,mates a Bluenose. It was a weekday game and if Blues won they won promotion instead of Millwall. The Millwall fans tried to set a stand on fire then got into the Blues end. Blues started to back off i was at the front and said stand your ground. This Zulu said who are you ain't seen you before, i said i'm a Baggie and i never run. Then we run them out the stand.
The 2nd time i come across them,the help us out,about 50 of us were cornered on the underground by a few hundred Chelsea fans and about 60 Millwall come behind Chelsea They Chelsea fans panicked. Had a good night with the Millwall fans after. This was early 80s.

I remember that game. Weren't they 3-0 up after the first leg?

Yep....3-0 up and we beat them 5-1 in the return leg and I think Gary Thompson scored three.

Their yobs came out of the Smethwick end and ran along the roofs of the old “executive” boxes in the Rainbow Stand so they could get to our end.

I’d already had the misfortune to catch the train from New Street after work and finding it full of Millwall scum intimidating anybody including women,children and old people......I looked like I had no neck as I had my Albion scarf on and my head receded into my coat to hide it!

There’s no doubt in my mind that I’d have had a real kicking if they’d sussed me.

Ironically,the only time I ever got beaten up was by a gang of Lye Town fans in 1977 after Stourbridge had won an FA Cup match at their ground,a gang of six of them jumped me after I left the ground and gave me a massive kicking.

Today’s supposed “hard men” haven’t a clue as to how brutal the 70’s were.

brutal that’s a good way of putting it,put a lot of fans off attending football especially away games.

I know West Midlands Fire Brigade were parked up in Halfords Lane with blue lights flashing. All the fireman were standing with collection buckets. It may have been for Cancer I can't remember for certain. Millwall seemed to be a bit spicy on the day, maybe something did go off elsewhere. I've seen them bring hardly any support in the past, for some reason they brought over 2,000 yesterday which seemed to shock manager Neil Harris in the press.
