[Albion] Millwall allocation

[Wilko]

What is the deal with as to why they do not open the lower tier?

 

[Commander]

What is the point in them having that lower tier if they never open it? I really can’t believe we are that threatening that there is a genuine reason for the police to stop them opening it. I bet they do though.

Upper doesn’t hold 3k or 4K but nearer to 2,200

We did once get some of the lower but just can’t see it happening for a QF

By time Barbers completed his risk assessment, we’ll be lucky to get 22 never mind 2,200

I think you're probably right, but it does beg the question: Why bother having a lower tier if you're never going to use it?

They probably didn’t bargain for thugs being in the lower tiers of the two sides, ie accessible to the lower tier of away fans

Just 2,000 out of an 18,000 gate, giving the home side another advantage. Rewarding violence.

Physical attacks and objects lobbed = scum.

They didn't do their homework then! Aren't their quite big gaps in the corners? Surely you just fill them with police/stewards?

Millwall have closed loads of bits of the New Den off in a effort to stop their Neanderthals from causing trouble. Basically, anything near the away fans gets closer off, and vice versa.

Not sure it’s up to the police whether or not to open a stand.

It 100% is.

I’m going tooled up with fifteen plastic bottle tops.

Might even get a new Thermos flask for the day.

Restrictions might also be to do with time it would take to get away fans down cowards way and on to trains if 4K, after they’ve dispersed the pondlife.

 

[Wilka]

For a game where if Millwall win a pitch invasion is a possibility I would be shocked if the police allow the lower tier to be opened. I’ve sat in the lower tier for one league game but it was only one block if I recall.

 

[Return of the Rev]

Could be Millwall v Ipswich all over again

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I imagine it will be one of the two ties the BBC will show live.

Millwall are the lowest ranked team left, so that's a good call.

I wonder if they could let us have the central blocks of the lower tier and leave the edges as buffer zones. Might be a compromise.

 

[Arkwright]

Always a great day out up there if you ignore the knuckle draggers

Exactly, some good pubs around London Bridge. Wouldn't recommend many close to the ground.

Millwall draw Brighton and Ipswich are out.

Fair enough. I thought Millwall were “family club of the year” so what safety concerns? Basically saying they can’t control their own fans.
