[bazzwall]

Should be a prize for anyone seen Millwall play at any 3 of those.

 

[Ulster Lion]

Rumour has it that Silver has written his "Just Back" reports from them all......and Obes has been ball boy at every ground.

Played at the old Den

Watched at the new ground.

Ulster, very droll.

Apologies Obes, but it was better than saying that you were on Shore Leave when you watched our first ever game.......and you spotted Paris on the touchline in his full kit.

 

[obeney]

EParis.was a.ball boy for that first game and nicked the.ball.

 

[TheOneAndOnlyGazza]

I'm calling foul, we weren't even nick named the Lions at 3 of those grounds

 

[obeney]

Gazza, correct, I still refer to them by their original nickname , "The Dockers". Until the day he died my Old Dad always called them "The Dockers". I rarely use "Lions", usually just "The 'Wall".

They'll be thousands of people that have done just that. Only they are all dead.

Half of them at The Somme

 

[Poplar Lion]

Have played at Millwall Park in Sunday League games.
Have played at both the Old Den at the New Den but not at football but as a musician.
Old Den was doing a pre-match and half time show. Can't remember if it was 1977 or 1978 but we drew 1-1 with Sheffield United.
New Den was at the World Marching Band Championships where a band I was teaching music to was competing.
Legend has it that my great-granddad watched Millwall play on the Isle Of Dogs.
My kids are the 5th generation in our family to support The Lions.

That's actually quite thought provoking you saying that... I wonder how many fellas that watched us at the Island grounds and first few years in New Cross perished in the Great War. A bloody good number I would expect.

I remember reading a website that listed and mapped the Isle of Dogs Great War dead (it might have been a link off of here, I can't remember) and as you would expect the poor sods lived on every street.

 

[obeney]

Poplar,.that's quite a claim, 5 generations. Amazing the number of 'Wall just across.the.river supported and still support the ' Wall.

I've just realised I only use the term 'wall' when talking about (well) wall.

 

[Peckham Lion]

Played at Millwall Park, (now has another name)

I took my boy over to the Island for a history lesson and we had a kick about on that park. Also went to all the locations where we once called home. The islander was the pub we first used as HQ and to get changed in. Glengall road our first ground 1885 to 86. Our second ground behind the Lord Nelson 1886/ 1890. The Athletic ground 1890/1901 was our third. North Greenwich the fourtdhground 1901/ 1910. We know the rest when thankfully it came to the heart of south London.

Paris swapped it for one of Arthur's betting tips.
If the club want it back, it should be up on Ebay very soon.

 

[obeney]

Kryan , probably Arthhr's tip was as flat as the ball.
