Crowd tomorrow?

701 from Millwall - doubt that

Half that? They are doing ok and this is a big game. Having said I have a good friend who’s a Millwall fan and I recall sending him a photo of the away contingent last year and it was pitiful. If I can be bothered I’ll post it here later.
 
I remember hearing a few years back that Millwall fans travel in big numbers to one random away day each season where all the hoolies turn up and create mayhem. I don't know if this is true but I remember when we played Sheff Wed at Hillsborough under Karanka and lost 2-0, M'wall were out in force at Rotherham. They sold out the away end and ran amok at both sides of the away stand simultaneously giving the police and stewards a bit of a headache to keep control. There's videos of it on YouTube. Has anybody else heard this? Do they still do it? Would be interesting if they chose Boro away for their big day out. I've seen us play Millwall at both Ayresome and the Riverside many times over the years and their support is usually around 500 to 600. They always used to make a loud droning sound that went on for ages.
 
They only asked for 900 and haven't sold out.
We were in the Sheffield station that day they played at Rotherham. All hell broke lose when they changed trains there. Riot police treating them like animals.
Claret everywhere.
 
Crowd was 23,187 vs Luton. Millwall will no doubt bring similar numbers as Luton so I'm going to predict 23,601.
 
If we planned how we go about our lives based on the potential for a group of organised louts to cause trouble, we would be hiding behind the door with the curtains drawn.
The Met and Cleveland Police will have gathered and shared intelligence. Those in charge of security will be briefed and will be ready to aprehend any offenders. Its not pleasant, but its not particular to football. Lets enjoy the game.

I don't think anybody's suggesting there'll be any trouble tomorrow. It's just a run of the mill game against a southern team whose fans don't usually travel up north in any great numbers.
