The Glory Game
Just watched a bit of Millwall v Burton on TV.
6th against 1st, Millwall with every chance of a play off spot even if Wigan seem to be sewing up the second automatic position. A win would be huge for Millwall and they're 2 up at half time. Yet the ground is, as always, two thirds empty, and the crowd is so quiet, the TV microphones picked up the Burton keeper calling Steve Morison a "****ing prick".
This is the Den, FFS. If there's no atmosphere there, what hope do other grounds have?
It's the New Den isn't it. The old Den was much more intimidating .............. but not always that noisy tbh. Bizarrely I went to quite a few games as a neutral there.
