I know, being a West Ham fan that has seen us play at the Den I know very well how hostile it can be, but this is not a football match day though. As said above, no different to many other areas (and a lot of nice pubs around that way)

Blimey , its an ordinary working class area no better or worse than anywhere else, its not Bagdad , some people have led very sheltered lives.

Mate have u ever been to the Den ( and I don't mean the old one) as an away fan? I've never seen anything like it - and I've been to some pretty hairy places up and down the country.
Millwall is exceptional - they have a small but incredibly violent group within their hardcore fanbase. Trust me I was brought up and lived in Bermondsey, Rotherhithe for years so no sheltered upbringing here- no other set of football fans come close in their outright loathing of anyone who isn't 'Wall!

It's possible nowt will happen as it isn't football - but I'd be on my guard if I was a Wigan fan just in case.

Yea many a time as an away fan and its just the same as away at Leeds , boro, man Utd and loads of other areas you don't get mouthy and don't show your intimidated. And has been said it rugby not football , alot of my family still live there and unless I tell them what's going on there I bet they wouldn't have a clue about the game or be interested in it. Cant really see all the millwall firm on the blower to each other arranging a a tear up with a load of Wigan rugby league fans.

It may open the eyes of a few Northerners whose impressions of the London, might be shattered by a trip to The Den.

Won't be bothering despite it being closest game to me since London played at Charlton. Already got a game to go to that weekend plus have no interest in watching Wigan.

Barnet Bees at home 2pm on the Sunday. Not sure our caring hosts will be bothered with us. We could rent New River as Skolars are in Coventry.

As for Wigan, I'm up for it to increase the away support.

Re: Wigan bring Catalan to London : Wed Jul 29, 2015 8:10 pm  

Oh if we were on as the game beforehand I'd go. Then I could spend the next couple of hours in one of the decent pubs nearby and watch the football on telly.
