Millwall fans conform with stereotype shocker ....

Labour councils covering themselves in glory again. Internal council report backs the sale of land, decision Thursday. ex Mayor and director Sullivan even gave his son the middle name Blair whilst outsourcing council services.


Millwall suffer bitter blow before verdict on The Den development plans


'At the hearing this week Lewisham intends to state that the identity of Renewal’s owners is irrelevant to the case. It is a startling position for a Labour council to back itself into. The mystery developer stands to benefit from public powers and public money, while evicting Lewisham council residents from their homes and undermining the area’s outstanding community asset of the last hundred years.'

Absolute scum.
It's all becoming apparent that it's actually the labour party that's been gentrified over the last couple of decades.

There was demographic chart released a couple of seasons ago based on supporters clubs stats and the local areas around Bermondsey, Peckham, New Cross etc were overwhelmingly the majority represented. One of the most local clubs in London. I was a bit surprised myself tbh as I thought the bulk of the fan base was in Kent now.

I found this interesting. Anybody have a link to confirm it?

i would bet my mortgage that the vast majority of wall fans still have an se London post code. In my experience, the white working classes (which is not many) still in inner se London more often than not tend to be millwall, esp in the surrounds of the ground. I know probably 50 wall fans and the vast majority haven't got the Kent bug yet.

 

[Nice one]

went to the millwall v charlton game. Cracking football, great atmosphere.

There are some stats (somewhere) on season ticket holders.It showed that the large majority are still London based. We are everywhere, i met one on a platform at crewe train station last summer , absolute headcase as well.

fisher has always had some interesting "characters" follow and involved with them. I pray to god the hipsters don't get hold of it.

there's been a few claptonistas down, which worries the fuck out of me. Last tuesday's game, biggest crowd of the new stadium so far was definitely milwallesque in character.

I'm adding 'against hipster football' to the new fisher banner just in case.

Anyhow here a little write up of the millwall/charlton game on the 21st.
Match report: Millwall v Charlton

Millwall admit council scheme could force club to leave Lewisham

Suddenly this abomination is becoming real. Unelected corrupt tools destroying a world-famous London institution just to line their own pockets. All in the plainest sight.

How in Christ's name could the club survive on the Kent coast when the vast majority of supporters still live in Lewisham and Southwark???

Kudos to Barney Ronay, btw, and to the Guardian making it the lead story in their sports section. But these unaccountable slimeballs in Lewisham Council seem impervious to shame.

Part of Millwall died for me and many others when we left the old place. I don't see any council in Kent accepting us and our baggage. This will finish us off but we will go out with a bang, mark my words.

Wailin' Wall -- just been reading that. Fascinating but also really depressing

 

[not-bono-ever]

Bullock is a disgusting cunt

Bullock is a disgusting cunt

how long has he been in that post? let me look it up .... basically hes been around lewisham council since 1982...all too cosy

 

[bromley]

It's a ploy against the council, they have no real intention of moving to Kent! Similar thing happened with Spurs and their bid to move to Stratford, look at them now with their new stadium ready in a few seasons.

 

[not-bono-ever]

speaking to someone involved in very high level Housing and town planning tonight oddly enough, and when i mentioned Millwall, the first thing he said was Bullock and followed by a very bad word

 

[William of Walworth]

I thought myself that there might be something in that when I read Barney Ronay's story.

But all the property development cards have been against Millwall so far. They're desparate to stay where they are and so are their fans. I'm not one, but I always got along fine with Millwall fans when I lived in the area. Even 250 miles away now, I still sympathise with their plight at the moment.

Are you old enough to remember Glickstien?

What does this mean ?

 

[Wailin' Wall]

What does this mean ?

There's no equivalence with Spurs and Haringey council whatsoever. This CPO - and the intertwining of Renewal and the spivs on Lewisham council - is all about self-enrichment. Millwall are an obstacle to the spivs making a killing and they're probably dancing now the club's suggested relocating to Kent. There's zero evidence they want to keep Millwall like Haringey did Spurs.

 

[bromley]

Irrelevant comment, and with Duchateley at present it's bizarre.

Millwall aren't moving to Kent FFS! This whole thing is about who can make money out of the land the council owns, millwall and who ever has the best brown envelope for Lewisham council both want to build flats. How are they getting forced out because, because they're missing out on potential revenue?

The point is Lewisham council spivs are forcing through a CPO next Wednesday to deliver the land to the offshore property firm Renewal, in which leading Lewisham council figures have a personal financial stake. Just read the Guardian article I posted above. Millwall have no advocates on this deeply corrupt council. They have no bargaining power with spivs looking for a quick personal buck.

I know that but where's the being forced to move grounds bit?!

You apathetic wanker. I have a few trainspotter mates that experienced the "back in your day" journeys to selhurst: They get it...
What's up with you?

He is still angry that charlton aren't in the premier league anymore.

Here's a more balanced piece, away from the Millwall (club, the fans don't seem to be making much effort) spin.
