How many seasons,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[MrRodcott]

My first first team game was about March 1963. I had been to reserve matches previously (they used to play on Saturdays). Can’t believe it’s sixty years!! Still enjoy it and still a season ticket holder.

Mate moved down here from New cross and said to me who you support? I said no one here to support he said come watch Millwall with me and my dad so I did, we got hammered 6-1 by Ipswich in the fa cup but I was hooked bout 78-79 I was 14

First game was1956, aged 5, on my Dads shoulders. Was going regularly on my own with mates aged about 9 onwards, when we moved from Catford to Pomeroy Street, New Cross. Would wander into the ground many days during school holidays while still at Kender St primary. Did every one of the long unbeaten home run. Would’ve been rude not to.

Met Barry Rowan and Billy Neill in The Den a few years ago. Billy said tell him the unbeaten run team and it was there just like the school register every morning. Stepney, Gilchrist, Cripps, Jones, Snowdon, Wilson, Rowan, Julians, Brown, Dunphy, Neill.

We used to get the SLP every Friday and I remember reading match reports about Millwall. My first game I attended was against Torquay in 1960. I was 10. I think Alf Ackerman and Reg Davies were stalwarts of the team in those days.
I pasted match reports and photos from the SLP on to a big sheet of brown wrapping paper and hung it from the wall by my bed! This was eventually replaced by photos of Hayley Mills and Cathy McGowan once I realised that my knob wasn’t just to piss out of

My first was late 1976. Not sure which game but I do remember my dad pointing out a new player Pat Sharkey and he only played in a handful of games. I thought he was rubbish but was in awe of Trevor Lee. Oh, and I'm pretty sure we lost but that really was of no consequence, I was hooked!

 

[bazzwall]

My first game cannot remember against or score line..
but Peter Burridge, Reg Davies,Pat Brady, Joey Broadfoot we’re playing…60/61 season.

 

[Kryan Bing]

My first game at The Den was when I was nine, 30th April 1966.
It was against Swansea and we won 1-0. Also, I do remember being lifted over the Turnstile that day.

We finished second to get promoted with Hull from the old Third Division that season as well. I think that game, if I remember correctly, pretty much guaranteed promotion (2 points for a win back then - and, a lot of 3:15pm Kick Offs).

1969 for me, I was 5

 

[Peckham Lion]

I do remember being lifted over the Turnstile that day.

My old man did that at nearly every game he took me to as a young boy. He was obviously slinging the old boy on the turnstile a coin.

 

[Peckham Lion]

I do remember my first game without my old man. It was against Enfield in the fa cup, December 1984. Went with a load of mates from Peckham, Lewisham, Hither green and Catford. We won one nil and Dean Neal scored. The same season we beat the Nigels, Chelsea and Leicester before losing at Luton.

 

[Eamon Dunphys tackle]

My first game was against Swindon at The Den in 1965.
We won 1-0 and Mickey Brown scored the goal.
I think they sometimes played adverts over the tannoy.
Anyone remember that?

I don’t remember the adverts, but I remember the half time scores from other matches being put up on a board under the codes A,B,C,D etc.
Imagine what a youngster today would make of that.
They’d think it was as ridiculous as semaphore.

With the season ticket renewal information out it got me thinking How many seasons have i done/watched. Reckon i'm still a youth in comparrison to many on here but make it that next season will be my 46th. How many you done and first game if you can remember. Carry on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I’ve been going since I was 3 and I’m 48 in a couple of months, so I’m about a year behind you

 

[Maldonwall]

First season I went was 1965, but the two things I remember most at this time was going to the dog track with my Dad walking around the back of the ground looking into the pitch & Len Julians last game with both teams lined up clapping him onto the pitch.

 

[Peckham Lion]

I’ve been going since I was 3

That's an early start. On the subject,,, my mum told me that my old man took her to a Wall game when she was six months pregnant with me. Beat that

[Soul Man]

Even half penny chews!

I recall fruit salads and black jacks were 8 for a penny. And wagon wheels were enormous. How times change

 

[Peckham Lion]

I recall fruit salads and black jacks were 8 for a penny.

A bit before my time, was two for a penny in my day. Used to get a 5p mix up, black jacks, fruit salad, refresher, chol lollipop and a flying saucer. Found the wagon wheels quite sickly.

 

[new cross wall]

the old man would take me as a very young boy but don't remember much
all i can remember was how green the grass was
early 80s 1st season ticket with out the old man who was starting to get well piss off with football by then but would always turn out for the big games before he died a few years back he said he wished he had been more like me with my kids and grandkids still miss the old cunt
have held my season ticket now for near 40 years my boy has had his from the age off 7 he's 31 now cant ever see a time in my life when i don't go

1956, when I was 6 years old. Regular from the age of 10, always went with my brother, sadly no longer with us. One of my best early memories was Fulham away in the cup, 3-3, beat them down the Den. The famous quote from Bobby Robson, when asked who was going to win said it was “thoroughbreds against donkeys”, Billy Gray said after our win “The thoroughbreds won”. My godmother, Joyce who took us to our first game, started going in 1948, she is now 93 and this is the first season she has been unable to go. Phone her and tell her about the game and send her a programme. Sign on her front door Millwall fan lives here!!
