Made it to top half of Division..........

Yes mate I was there and I am not likely to ever forget it! My mate and I managed to get “trapped” in the wrong end of the ground.
It must have been the only time that I never celebrated a Millwall goal! At the end we joined up with about 30/40 Wall fans and we were given a police escort back to the station.. thanks Plod! Talk about happy days

Yes 1971 I was 17 in the Fulwell end about 4 Millwall down the front stood out a mile with thier clobber and long hair

we were 3-1 up you came back 3-3 and Possee scored the equaliser

I remember that I was not far from the pitch on the left side of the goal...so I might be one of those phuckers!
As for the match itself, other than coming back from 3/1 down,what really struck me was the aerial battle between Barry Kitchener,our centre half and Dave Watson...that was really a battle of the Giants.

Loud and intimidating! I have no idea what it is like now in the new stadium but I imagine it must be dismal to say the least.

When it first opened the SOL was fantastic of course we were doing well but these last few seasons have drained the heart out of the supporters, we just go expecting to get beat which is sad really. Also think the fans thes days are different to what we were when we were young all they want is premier league.
