Don't worry too much though mate, no ones going to die because the thread content doesn't quite match the thread title. It's not THAT important. ( or maybe it is in your world). Anyway, I'm off. See you in November, or whenever it is we're playing you. Chia
MillwallFan. To say most neutrals are more interested in yourselves than us for the wrong reasons is tantamount to admitting your club is a bit of a car crash. A club for the rubberneckers to see what ditritis is left from your latest antics. It is not a compliment. You then cite Cardiff and Leeds getting excited to visit your ground as further 'evidence.'
A bit like saying The Sun is the most popular newspaper because eight out of prisoners prefer it to any other.
Ok forget Leeds and Cardiff, ask any fan from any of the big premier league London clubs who they would prefer to draw away in the cup, charlton or Millwall, and I reckon the majority would opt for Millwall. I don't mean this as an insult, I really don't, but Charlton go pretty much unnoticed by the rest of London. A trip to The Den would get the average Chelsea or spurs fan buzzing, and I'm not just talking about their hooligan element. It would be like an old school day out. Charlton away just wouldn't get the juices flowing like a trip to Millwall would. It's not arrogance, it's just a fact. People would put charlton the same sort of bracket as Fulham or Watford.

Wind-up merchant. Go fish somewhere else. People should stop biting!
What's all this 'Millwall...old school' stuff? have you actually seen the New Den? You lost 'old school' and any credibility when you slouched meekly away from the real Den without so much as a murmur from your fans. Our so called middle class and plastic fans fought long and hard to drag our club back home to where we belong, even though it took seven years. So who are the 'proper fans' huh?
Norwich City is one of those clubs I really have it in for. Constantly going on about how good their attendances are, just very self-centric attitude whenever they travel to away grounds.
Their level of smugness when they won promotion at our place in 2011 was off the charts.
"We'll never play you again" - so much for that, tossers!
As I was walking back for the 10pm train I overheard two young Norwich fans discussing Charlton. Apparently The Valley holds about 35,000, we can't fill it and half the crowds we do get are away supporters. This being my specialist subject I was tempted to point out the error of their ways, but the train was more urgent.
I do think their attendances are impressive, but suspect they are a function of the city's isolation and sense of identity, as well as the fact they are a well-run and friendly club. The flipside of this is they have limited potential, because of their location. Ours is, if not limitless, greater.
They've been fairly generous hosts over the years too.
Norwich are in the group along with the likes of us, Wolves, Ipswich, Southampton, Pompey, Boro, Blackburn, Burnley, Bolton, Palace, Stoke and many others who will fluctuate between the top tier and the third tier, with a good portion of the in-between spent in the second tier winning sod-all. We all like to think we belong in the top flight, we all like to think we're big clubs and we all like to think that we're the only ones with a realistic idea of our place in the world. Truth is we're all much of a muchness and we all probably over-estimate our own clubs prestige.
Nardge are alright and as Airman says, they have a slight added pull for supporters due to their relative isolation from any other large population centres homing genuinely big clubs. If they had Arsenal, Spurs, West Ham and Chelsea on their door-step their gates would not be as high as they are, but none-the-less they do get good gates for a Championship team.

Completely different circumstances. You was made to ground share and didn't have your own home. We was just moving to a new ground that was ours, 500 yards from our old place the way the crow flies. I loved the old den but it was so dated I knew that we had to move. And doing the place up was no option, barring in mind how tightly packed in to the surrounding streets it was. It was built in 1910 when the majority of fans walked there from the surrounding areas.
Andy Delort's dad has just tweeted he expects his son to be agreeing personal terms with Charlton in the next few hours, and is very excited about furthering his career with the top London club.....

Charlton v Norwich
The clue is in the title.
Why not start a new thread?
Have a look. I originally posted about Norwich v Charlton. Any other posts have been in reply to Charlton fans who bought up Millwall.
"Better call the cops, I think there's been a robbery, Tel"
Classic. You don't get that on the BBC.
Have to confess, Phil Parry used it against Bournemouth in the promotion year, but it was what came into my head, and fitted the situation perfectly, just listened back to it.....
@MillwallFan if I remember rightly, more away fans visited The Valley in the last few season than the den, so your theory that you're a more noticeable trip is tin pot, a lot like your fan base. You're known for the hooligan element and that is it, just that, nothing else. Congrats for that I'm sure you're proud of it but unfortunately it's 2014 now and no one really cares.
While your on this thread, millwall fan, i escaped From Gomm Rd, Southwark park when i was 11 months old. If this had not happened, i would now be singing" we are millwall no one like's us "
instead of "we are Charlton no one knows us"
To be a Charlton fan is an honour, stand back Millwall fan, we are moving over to that fast lane, Repent your sins, and join us, we will even have a whip round and buy you a red Themos Flask.
Just back from Naawfek .. a terrific, hard fought game between an inconsistent side with 'flair' and no bottle (Norwich) and a side with tenacity, heart, organization, teamwork and a colossal workrate allied to no little skill (CAFC) .. Bob Peeters' worries grow by the day .. who to leave out !!

Anyways, coyr, all about saturday...
The big kids started on the little kid.
Ahern-grant seemed to upset some norwich boys and Big bad Bob sorted it.

I don't think so.
