Stuck on a train and thought I would see how excited smallwall were over are result last night.
North Stand Banter is a laught at times.
Here are some comments on the below thread about us.
forum.vitalfootball.co.uk/threads/trainspotters.30588
About 13,000 home fans including the free tickets they love to give away thought they were a massive club and we was smallwall ? But as i said they did have a drum :finger:
-------------------------------------------
For once they had to declare the actual official attendance - as Play-Off gates are split between the 4 teams involved and the FA.
The result? For their biggest game in 6 years? About the same number of Charlton fans as there were Millwall fans for our Friday night match v Birmingham City which was live on Sky with us in 17th place and off the back of two defeats and no ticket discounts & disrupted trains at London Bridge.
Apparently, THAT was a brilliant atmosphere too! Crikey, that wall of sound that hit Fulham the other week would have blown their minds then! My Fulham mate who was in away end said he was expecting that gate to be announced as 50,000 not just under 18,000 such was the noise.
-----------------------------------------
they still believe on charlton life!
got to say i watched them and they are at best middle table L1 HAVE NO GOAL THREAT at all also thought the big black guy nisala for shrewsbury was massive could easily play in our league but not for us as we already have a great defense

It was bizarre viewing last night really, considering Charlton consider themselves a big club.
Bar behind one goal, the ground was painfully empty for a big match. And the atmosphere was pretty tame - hardly the kind of partisan crowd you'd expect for a play-off match (see the likes of Villa Park and the Riverside to witness the difference). Plus, I thought they looked second best all night, bar the opening ten minutes. Shrewsbury (that's Shrewsbury Town btw) bossed the second half and completely controlled the tie.
Now, I do not know a single Millwall fan that sees us as anything more than a knockabout club from just off the Old Kent Road. Yet, on the actual real evidence, not inflated gates through freebies or the odd sojourn in the top tier, would anyone but an avid Charlton fan really consider the Addicks a much bigger or better club than us?
They do not tick any of the 'big club' boxes at all:

In fact, we ARE a bigger club... :hmmm:

For a bunch of Jeremey Kyle rejects they are actually quite funny
Moody in particular
Its simple really, this is a football forum, i have made a thread about a football topic but i never forced you to read it
The best one is the reference to Shrewsbury town... this coming from a team that failed to beat Rochdale at home in the FA Cup and lost the replay.
Can't ague with most of the comments.
Still would never be a Millwall fan though.
They had their best season for about 20 years, in a higher division, whereas we had a pretty average season and have loads of fans boycotting and they averaged 1500 more than us. And that's probably because most away sides in the championship sell out their upper tier. The actual home fans average probably wasn't much different.
Up until the play offs became a possibility late on, they had 2 home crowds over 15k. I'm pretty sure if we were in the championship we'd get that every game.
Not sure why they have such an inferiority complex about us though when they are a league above us and doing well?
No one likes 'em, no one likes 'em, no one likes 'em, no one cares.
They are Millwall, pointless Millwall, no one likes 'em, no one cares.
(Still prefer them to the Nigels though.....)

I like that Millwall are around, its a bit like Asda, you know, if you are feeling low then just go to Asda, look at the clientele and then you automatically feel better about yourself, so Millwall are footballs Asda.
At the end of the day I am reminded of this.
Don't give the Shit Squirt stains of society a second thought when it comes to their opinions, bless em and their inferiority complex.
Had some good players in those days, Stepney, Haverty, Julians, Pat Terry etc (Pat Terry might have played for us at some stage).
Things changed rivalry wise when Millwall were promoted to Div 2 about 1966, I think.
