Excellent analysis and thank you for your kind words towards the Millwall supporters. I was there yesterday and there are lots of other ways of getting to and from the ground other than South Bermondsey but you need a bit of local knowledge. If you go again go via Surrey Quays. Pubs and shops there. Fair play to the Boro fans. Over 1500 in attendance on a freezing cold January when everyone is skint is great commitment. As for plans to modify The Den who knows ? It needs it and has potential but we would need a major cash injection which is not on the Horizon. Keep up the great work on the channel and I have dropped you a sub 👍 COYL 🦁

😀😀 Try and buy a place for under £500,000 or if you want TWO bedrooms then how about a flat at the new £25 BILLION Development at The Elephant and Castle just over one mile away. lol The OLD Den WAS very intimidating as working-class Dockers and other fans were on ALL 4 sides of the ground, right on top of the pitch, maybe,on the s side 4 yards away hence the F L record of 59 unbeaten Home games, there. Now it is seats,as you know, and families and though can still be noisy,it is a different vibe,mate.

Sadly, a lot of London clubs have left their old grounds now though Fulham, Leyton Orient, Crystal Palace, Charlton Athletic, QPR and Chelsea are still at the old ones. And Chelsea's Stamford Bridge is unrecognisable from the old days.

So heavily policed these days down the den, mostly get some spirited bods there for the football and a day out Get some of the "troublemakers" at the larger fixtures, and a few of the big away days, but no point turning up week in and out with how much OB is about in and out the ground. Overall always hear its a good day out as an away fan for a fun atmosphere and a piss up in the capital if that's what you're looking for. If you come looking for trouble can certainly find it, but them days are all but gone really!

Boro supporter (although I live in Chelsea 😂) - was at Millwall yesterday - didn’t find it intimidating but it’s clearly a run down area which could do with some money spent on it. The ground was tidy enough and the staff at The Den were great. The segregation between fans is a shame. Don’t come across that level of security often.

Not “all round the U.K.” if you don’t visit Northern Ireland. Great place to watch football in my experience, only done the four big Belfast clubs so far, but all very welcoming and friendly. And a great place for a weekend break. Thanks for being nice about the Boro, I’m a season ticket holder there.

@@mattthegroundhopper9242 I should have stated. Stand in the part of the stadium allocated to each team. Don’t stand in the wrong end. There’s been plenty of games I would have gone to but the away end was sold out. Just stay at home. .. be sensible.. don’t sneak into the home end and cheer the away team… , although I’m not local I do actually have soft spot for Wolves and was watching that game. .

Eastbourne =Worst Owner in the League. A friend of a friend (who teaches at Eton College) mentioned something that had been broken for a while and this clown said, without humour: "Turn up with your tools on Monday and you can fix it" and walked off. He thanked the recently departed Manager and in his comment described him as "an abject failure". I smell Americanisation and buying up the land for flats..

Matt the area you point out is T28 - when the old ground shut people who use to stand together now kind of sit together although they stand 🤔 this area is season ticket only and is made up of people who use to run with various firms back in the day - as a general rule you have to know someone or get aggressive looks - or even asked - who are you - what are you doing here - 😂🤣
