[Albion] Millwall allocation

[Driver8]

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

This. It should be bits of the home end restricted not the away bit.

Ties scheduled for Fri/Sat/Sun. All will be televised so nothing 3pm Sat.

Engineering works on trains Sunday only showing at present.

Ties scheduled for the Fri to Mon. One a day by the looks of it.

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

there was trouble at the Everton game too, so police unlikely to relent. Probably want to avoid evening kos for same reason. Sat lunch would make most sense given trains.

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

Loads of good pubs in New Cross these days

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.

Millwall will be on the pitch whatever the result.
The last time they opened the lower tier was for a tie against Leicester City.
You can guess what happened.

We're a soft load of southern Dandys so I reckon we'll get all 4k

I'm sure you are right but I think I'll be heading to London Bridge, maybe I'm just a bit of a coward in my old age.

 

[Stuart Munday]

I would advise anybody thinking about going to give it a miss especially if you have lots of loyalty points.

 

[Gullys Cats]

You should get the lower tier.

Everton and Millwall have history going back many years. Inevitable the Met would restrict Everton’s allocation for a 5.30 KO. Hopefully we’ll get some or all of the lower tier.
Given it’ll be four games across four days you’d expect each match to be shown at a time to maximise tv audience numbers. So evening ko’s on Friday and Monday (obviously) and teatime on Sat and Sun? Wolves and Man Utd probably being the BBC Sunday pick.

Done Millwall twice before and I have absolutely no desire to go a 3rd time. I'm working so I'll save an A/L day just incase we are victorious.

It hopfully be a good opportunity to see how Juri Is getting on thought he was a good championship standard player who lost a bit of pace but always an honest player

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

My money’s on Saturday/Sunday lunch time.

1973 Everton v Millwall went bad for the wall.
1976 6th Rd at home to Ipswich also went bad for Millwall.

15% of capacity = 3,000

However away end behind goal can hold 4,000.

It can actually hold almost 5,000 - However the segregation at each end and the fact that police directive means they won't open the lower tier of the North Stand. The allocation will be between 2,800 and 3,000

 

[NooBHA]

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.

It follows a police directive after a League Cup match against Liverpool where Liverpool fans ripped up the seats and threw them on to the pitch and at fans in the lower West Stand and some fans were able to reach each other from the lower tiers.

I think its right that the lower tiers don't get opened

Been loads of times New Den/Old Den there really are some pussy cats on here.

Even for Brighton though? We’re hardly the most threatening bunch.

 

[Glanders]

Any thoughts on how many loyalty points it'll close on?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Seems quite novel that an upper tier is being opened from the off for us in the FA Cup this year
