Millwall are from the Isle of Dogs, they're South-East London wannabes. The Crystal Palace was originally in Hyde Park so they're a team named after something that couldn't stay where it belonged. Even worse.The Red Robin said:

Formed by Scots, they play in Scottish colours and have a Scottish badge. And Millwall is NORTH of the river

I always take the view that a football club should be named after the community within which it is located and purports to engage with and represent.MillwallFan said:
Still didn’t turn pro until 1920. So Millwall are the oldest professional football club in South London 😉Henry Irving said:
"Professional" doing at lot of work here.MillwallFan said:
Ok, clutching at straws here, but you was still a boys club in 1905. We was a professional club playing in SE London before Charlton were.Lordflashheart said:

And by 1910 the boys were five years older so 19/20/21 years old
Bermondsey FC perhaps or were Millwall the first Franchise FC?Truth is, as a club, Millwall out grew the island. We was actually quite a big and well supported club then. As the crow flies we didn’t actually move that far. And even as recently as the 80’s and 90’s you’d still get plenty of islanders walking through the pipe to come and watch home games.0 -

And before @MillwallFan comes back with how many Arsenal games are in that list, Millwall’s record attendance is 48,762, so not over 50,000, which Charlton - as we can see - have eclipsed many times
Thanking youMy theory is there wasn’t many other forms of entertainment back then. People didn’t even have tv’s in their homes. So if there was a big cup game or local Derby, people from all over would attend, regardless of whether they was Charlton fans or not. If the ground holds the numbers , which yours did, people would come.Football wasn’t so tribal then. Take my old grandad, he was fundamentally Millwall, but he just loved football and would go and watch it anywhere. If there was a big cup game somewhere else in London he would go and watch it. He used to go the valley, Stamford bridge, the Orient, all over. And of course you could just turn up and pay on the gate then.
You just hope he wasn't wearing them at the time.1 -
Looking at those figures last night, some of our smallest gates were v west ham …ironically. We got more v the likes of Watford and Southend.DOUCHER said:
i don't think the second world war impacted any club as much as us - we had gone from 3rd division to runners up in the top division between 37 and 39 and quite possibly would have gone on to win the league had the war not broke out - huge crowds were filling the the massive ground and it probably would have been redeveloped and we truly may have become one of the established big London clubs but he ho - the likes of palace and west ham were lower division irrelevances back then and didn't really do anything til the 60@s and 70's in palace's case just as we were in a slump.MillwallFan said:
The following season, 38/39, was a golden time for us. In division two this time we got well over 30k on 13 different occasions, including 38500 v Grimsby in the cup! Then Hitler came along and ruined the party and it’s been downhill every since 😢MillwallFan said:
We was in Division three south that season (two divisions below you). Would regularly get 25k+ even against teams like Torquay and Clapton. Ours would fluctuate a bit as well. a few in the teens. And the odd random low crowd. But mostly over 20k. Got over 30k on five different occasions. Biggest gate of the season was v Swindon, 38500.

I suspect some of the games in the 70s and early 80s might have boosted the averages if they weren’t just ‘20k’or ‘30k’ when we were all squeezed in and could see the gangways clearly defined all around the ground (always the clear sign that the terracing was jammed packed)Lordflashheart said:The whole page, incl away games - some big numbers here0 -

taking over 74,000 up to Everton is impressive. Plus the 55,000 that made the journey to Rome is incredible, hats off to them.

I remember my Grandad telling me about the Den getting bombed, he had worked at the ground before the war. Peckham in particular was mentioned as being devastated by V2's late on in the war.MillwallFan said:
That’s brutal.MrLargo said:You lost momentum? We finished 2nd, 4th and 3rd in Division 1 in the three seasons preceding World War 2. Fair to say that Hitler cost us at least one league title.We was the 11th best supported club in the country in 1939 and one of the wealthiest, despite being in the second division. We was signing a couple of internationals and was on the verge of promotion to the top flight, when war broke out, according to my grandad it was nailed on, god rest his soul.During the blitz our ground got bombed and a week later a fire broke out in the main stand and it completely burnt it to the ground.SE London and the docks suffered disproportionately badly during the war. I read somewhere that Bermondsey was the most bombed part of London during the blitz.Can you imagine if WW2 never happened? It could well be that Charlton and Millwall would have ended up the Spurs/Arsenal of today, and those two could’ve been flipping between the championship and L1.Slidding doors moments in history.
She told me that she was once on her way to her local shops when a V2 came down and basically obliterated them when she was a couple of hundred yards away.
"What did you do?" I asked her.
"Oh, it was a right palaver," she replied, "I had to walk a good couple of miles to some other shops to get Bill (her husband) his dinner."
Can we even imagine that? These days that would freak us out to an unbelievable degree but back then this tiny Cockney, about five foot tall and seven stone wringing wet, just got on with her day and went home and cooked dinner!
A shop in the East End got bombed. Next day it had a sign saying 'More open than usual.'8 -
Didn’t Millwall always go in the covered end in numbers? Before my time (doing away games anyway) but heard that we did.stonemuse said:

That WHU game I remember well I was 15 and being late into the ground ran straight into my normal spit in the covered end and once in realised that it was totally full of WH fans. Shit myself the whole game 🤭TellyTubby said:
