God help any Saints fans getting on a train from Waterloo at Basingstoke, Winchester or Eastleigh, they will be sitting ducks I’d imagine. Christ, 3,000 of their obnoxious unwashed hoardes descending on our fair City does not bear thinking about. Never mind the TV police on horseback, I think there’s a good case for sending in the army! Seriously, be careful if you are going to have to share public transport with them tomorrow. |  | | |

My advice for any Saints fans going down by train from London tomorrrow would be go from Paddington to Reading then pick up a Virgin cross country train that comes down from the Midlands or beyond and goes from Reading to Basingstoke and on to Southampton then Bournemouth or Poole. Not that much difference in overall journey time and not a route Millwall are likely to use. Going home the trains will probably be heading for Birmingham or north thereof as a final destination.
The above is assuming there are no engineering works, strikes or that another operator has not taken over the Virgin cross country franchise since I last used that service… [Post edited 23 Feb 19:05]

We’re doing that to avoid the engineering works to be fair.
Also most Millwall fans are sound, if you don’t act like a bellend you won’t find any trouble |  | | |

Exactly that . Yes they do have a hooligan element , bigger than some, but the majority are just normal fans wanting to watch their team.
Can’t help thinking that this is a completely over the top by the old bill. | | | |

Fair enough FT, had a couple of less than pleasant journeys to/from Waterloo with them on board in days gone by - and we certainly were not behaving like idiots, quite the opposite in fact, just keeping ourselves to ourselves. We even did the 1st class upgrade on one return journey but still got hassle… had enough by the time we got to Basingstoke so got off there and got the next Reading train 🙂
Perhaps times have changed a bit since I last travelled down and back with them, all for giving them the benefit of the doubt if that is the case…
By the way, thanks for the steer towards 6music - good shout from you from the RIP Steve Wright thread 🙂 | |

The police response has as much to do with our lot as it does Millwall to be honest | | | |

And I was hoping to meet with a Millwall fan tomorrow for a drink with "our lot" who's a really decent guy and his wife and brother. Never any issues with him and hates the reputation etc, but as soon as he opens his mouth you can tell where he's from so seeking advice from anyone as to where or just apologise for his team's back catalogue! |  | | |

Those coming from London tomorrow would do as well to go Paddington-Reading-Southampton anyway as trains are diverted via Chertsey and the Byfleet curve |  | | |

Saw earlier today that they’re shutting Britiana road after the game, which is a right pain for Itchen north fans. Still makes you wonder why as the fans will still meet and clash at the lights, and I can certainly imagine one set of fans will be peed off with the result |  |

I'll be travelling down disguised as a West Ham fan so they don't notice me. |  |

The reading to Southampton route is often best from London
It’s going back afterwards that’s a ball ache as they dick about with trains times between 5 and 6 so you have to just wait till the 615 which means it’s mobbed.
As there are ones at 15 and 45 earlier on
You have to wonder what they are thinking, or maybe they aren’t | | | |
