  • To be fair there are plenty of millwall fans(not sure if they support) in Bromley, Orpington and a little further out...but maybe not as far down as Dover lol

    Don't hold your breath. Who would launch a £1m sponsorship deal with an out-of-date website promoting a completely different service from a business that doesn't appear to be operating either at present? Meanwhile, those coach routes are already operated, more or less, by National Express. I predict tears before bedtime.
  • websites can be updated pretty quickly
  • Gillingham must be annoyed, another team to steal all their fans!

    A quick check with Companies House suggests that Euroferries Limited has made an application to be struck off the register and Euroferries Express Limited is a dormant company. The business appears to operate from premises above or adjacent to a restaurant in West Wickham, or at least that's the registered office.

    Leaving aside any schadenfreude, I am puzzled how or why a company that is not trading would sponsor a Championship club, but I assume Millwall would have done due diligence on them (or at any rate banked the cheque) before it got this far.
  • just had a look on millwall forum and seems they agree with you airman.

    I hope you've washed your hands thoroughly and used an antiseptic gel.
  • I have not partaken of any Spanner forums in an age Orps. I have always assumed that in some far off future era their importance for anthropological study would be invaluable.
  • I think this coach travel is going to be the way forward for most clubs around the country as train,cars cost to much

    Leaving aside yet another attempt to replicate what Charlton did many moons ago......

    Are we saying that Charlton were the first sports club to lay on coaches for fans?

    To my knowledge no football club had ever run transport to home matches on the scale and over the distances that we did, i.e. up to 4,000 people and up to 75 miles. A number have run much more local bus services and some have copied us since. Of course supporters' groups have run coaches to home matches, as they did at Charlton from the early 1990s onwards - the distinction is that Valley Express was organised and subsidised out of ticket revenue by the club.

    Can you give any examples of other English league clubs that operated anything comparable to home matches before we started in 2004?

    Personally, I have no idea but I'd be pretty sure Mill modelled their plan on the success of their more illustrious neighbours downriver who'd been running such a scheme for many years!

  • I wonder how many of our fans would stop going to the valley if the coaches stopped?

    Good point. The football would be terrible without the work of the coaching staff.
    9/10 very clever
