Getting feisty in the south stand?

No. Definitely thwarted. None got through that pesky plastic, did they?

I thought they ripped down the first section but got stopped at the second ?

That was some tarpaulin. 100-odd Wall fans steamed past a line of stewards to get the two dozen Albion fans only to be thwarted by what must be the toughest piece of canvas ever constructed.

That second strip of tarpaulin did it's job to be fair, the first one needs to up it's game, people will be disappointed that a few Millwall managed to get past the first thin strip of canvas.

Dont know what happend behind me , and being a area with lots of kids in quite understandable if parents did usher their kids away , i would of done the same , but if those there had not stood their ground i would hazard a guess that the millwall fans would not have stopped at the 3ft bit of netting that separated the 2 sets of fans at the start of the handbags , but they didn't , why didn't they ? because their bluff was called by a 100 or so supporters not willing to be taken the piss out of , nothing big nothing clever and nothing violent , we just stood together , pity its not the same on the pitch .

Is it true you uttered the words...

The one right in front of the Brighton fans? Yep, that one.

I'm just glad it came to a halt in the end. There were a lot of frightened people in the Albion section. If people want a fight let them, but if I was a parent with kids in there that would have been an awful experience.

I think the point is that it was all bravado. IF..... any of those fans had wanted to get past the canvas then they would have done. And that was proved by the way the first sheeting was tossed to one side. I'm not disputing that it must have been scary for families but all Millwall fans did was invade a neutral area next to a very sparse section of the Amex that night.

Typical millwall, bunch of hyped up c**** acting hard, on the bridge after the game they were all chanting and giving it large until a handful of brighton fans went up to them, had there not been so many coppers they would've got what they deserved. They're nothing but vile, sub-human scum

One of them decided to punch a female steward on the bridge and ran off.

Millwall fans also tried to get in the north stand concourse ..got a bit tastey

They did indeed,the best part of that was there was about 10 of us outside( mostly smokers) who were arguing the toss with the stewards as to why no one was to be readmitted back in to the North,The Millwall hoards turned up,the stewards retreated back in shut the doors and left us outside leaving the way for millwall to get stuck in.

The moral of the story is it would appear smoking is bad for your health after all.

Moving from the East and up to Village Way I found myself in with the Millwall fans as the cordon around them was so loose . They didn't seem interested in starting anything at that point, so thankfully I slipped through and up the stairs. I think the security at the ground was a bit wanting tonight.

Wouldn't want to tarnish their image, would they ? What a brave soul he must have been.

that just sums up the wanna be cockneys, funny how they can live off a reputation set by fans years ago, the best part is though that when they are on their own they wouldn't make a noise, and if they came up against fair numbers then they wouldn't be kicking off. I saw a group of them who live down here, some of them aren't even from Bermondsey and yet they all had flat caps on and cockney accents (and that pisses me off, they are not cockneys, You aren't a cockney if you're from Bermondsey either)

From the North it looked like a pretty extensive exodus westward as the knuckle draggers charged, very few Albion remaining where they were.

Having been in the south west corner, I wasn't aware of that many people scarpering, but I would not have hung around if anything real had started...... But then I wasn't egging them on in the first place.

The police where useless they let a couple of hundred Millwall out to walk around the east stand headed by a line of police the full width of the walk way so Albion fans were forced up onto the grass bank NO POLICE were left to escort the sides of this group it was complete mayhem I said to the policeman filming on the steps up to the coaches that I hoped the film would be used by the police in training on how not to police this type of situation he agreed it was badly controlled
