The Millwall Promotion Thread

[Leonard Hatred]

Currently one point off an automatic promotion spot.

It'd be good having them in the PL innit?

Provided we stay up, obvs. 

Would liven the place up a bit.


MMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...........

[Mad Ferret]

I train a couple of Millwall lads

Are you teaching them to read?

[El Scorchio]

It says that it'll be fucking comedy (for the whole of the country and not just for us) if spurs go down. Wall possibly coming up is a different matter.

[Leonard Hatred]

What does this say about us? We hate Tottenham and want them relegated. We hate Millwall but want them promoted. 

It says that we'd enjoy a lively rivalry encounter because it can be difficult to get excited playing BEIGE clubs such as Burnley and Bournemouth etc.

[Mike Oxsaw]

Well, for one, it would introduce to the world a rivalry that was born and developed outside of the white-hot media-driven PL furnace of  bitter enemy declaration.

I suspect that, like several posters on here,  should this become a distinct possibility, the media will make constant references to football hooliganism/ tasty run-ins of the late 70s/early 80s and the authorities will base their decisions on preventing that situation rearing it's ugly head again.

In short, if it looks like happening, the word will go out to all involved to make sure that it doesn't actually happen.

I'd like to think that would not be the case, but a big part of the sanitation of the game is the stamping out of local tribal activities.

There will be six months of this is going to happen that’s going to happen loads of threats on TikTok and you tube then on the day of the home game they’ll all get on a train to Stratford followed by old bill with old bill waiting for them, loads of people “hanging around “ waiting for them few bottles thrown etc etc 
followed by more videos of them telling the world West Ham are nothing these days and how they took the piss etc etc 
nothing to see here move along 
obviously all based on us staying up you understand 

[Pub Bigot]

Hopefully we stay up and they come up. They’ve done very well of late and actually deserve a season in the prem. in my experience, some of our more recent encounters have been underwhelming. 

I’ve been to the last three games between us, and the two in the league were drab. At The Den, boring 0-0 and kept outside the South Bermondsey until Police cleared the platform of vermin, then held at London Bridge for two hours before being sent to Canning Town. I lived in Bromley at the time, so the detour wasn’t ideal. 


Upton Park, 2-1 to us, first time we’d beaten them in the league in nearly two decades (maybe it was two decades). Their lot in the Trev Upper, Nolan sent off after 16 minutes, Winston Reid becomes a cult figure, though credit to Julian Faubert and his rugby tackle on David Forde, and the ref going blind for the assists. 

Never been ‘involved’, so no idea how the chaps got on.

Wonder how the PL will feel about the potential West Ham vs Millwall. Good marketing opportunity or quietly swept under the carpet as much as possible?

I reckon both games will be on the box absolutely no question. Sky/TNT will be pissing their pants with glee over it. It wouldn't be a surprise if the 'random' fixture computer happens to throw us together on the first day of the season at the shithole den.

They would be on TV and they both would be 12.30pm kick offs for obvious reasons.

[Council Scum]

I train a couple of Millwall lads, one of them is getting married, it's his stag do in June, he bet me (before Christmas) if they get promoted I'd have to wear a Millwall top on his stag do, likewise, if they don't, he has to wear a West Ham one. Was never bothered until the past week, now he's asking me my shirt size.

Nailed on away fans bussed into either game, ie, meet at the London Stadium, produce ID, get bussed in a bussed out again after an hour stuck in the stands. 

Away allocation to the Den approximately 8 people. 

[Far Cough UKunt]

One of their old school managers Benny Fenton was the brother of our old manager, Ted Fenton.

You've gotta hand it to them - without having a pot to piss in they have been flirting with the play-offs more often than not in the last decade. 

Yep, always seem to be up there to be fair. Their US owner was killed in a car crash about 5 years ago, was meant to be a really good bloke, I think his son took over.

Would be shocking if we go down and they come up.

[Leonard Hatred]

Millwall v West Ham

11am Sunday KO.

[Rossal]

Would be an absolute nightmare to go down as they go up.

Playing them is pretty much the highlight of relegation.

I think we survive, and they lose in the play-offs anyway.

Say hello to Millwall say hello to Millwall la la laa laaa 

[only1billybonds]

Them promoted,us surviving and the N17 filth relegated is the ideal season finale

[Mad Ferret]

Yeah, they always seem to miss out on the play-offs.

They'll certainly be in the play-offs this time, however I'd always favour the side that sneak in with a late run of form over the side that missed out on the automatics by a couple of points.

Having said that, Big Sam took us up after finishing 3rd.

They've missed out already a couple of times I think? I reckon now is their time. Best team they've had in a long while by all accounts.
