Hahaha. Did you get nicked and fined or a sober up and booted out in the morning?

I was only 15 and standing behind the goal to the left, right in front of them. I didn't realise (no-one did) until they started making a noise... Christ, I'd never seen anything like it, our lot went bonkers. They managed to slide out at half time, or just after, and it was just a line of OB left guarding an empty space.
Booted out at about 7am freezing my cod’s off, no charge no moneywalked back to nunhead.
Was in the bells when they turned up to clear the pub at last orders.

This is my favourite thread ever on here and is what this board should be all about to me. Great pics and great times. Was talking to my mate Saturday as we were walking down past where the turnstiles used to be for the CBL and saying although we are of course used to new place after all these years, it will never really feel like home. My old man only ever went to three games at the new place and he just couldnt accept that it was where Milllwall were going to be playing from now on, to him we might as well have changed the name of the club too, prior to that I dont think he missed a home game in forty years.

My Grandad and Uncle (RIP) loved the Den but never set foot in the new place.
The stories about Swansea reminded me of the time my Grandad, and this is pre-crowd segregation so mid-60s I think, calmly took his coat off and smacked a taff who was giving one of our players stick. He did give him a couple of warnings tbf!
