The official thread for all things Millwall!
Millwall is a professional football club (soccer for us colonials) based in Bermondsey, London, England. The team was founded in 1885 on the Isle of Dogs in East London, and moved south of the Thames River in 1910. Millwall's home field for 83 years was in New Cross, London, until they moved to their current home in 1993.
Millwall broke new ground in 1993 by building the "New Den" as the first football ground in England to be "all seated". Previously, there had been a terrace section at soccer grounds, which were standing only. Following the tragic Hillsborough Disaster in 1989, terraces went out of fashion, and are currently outlawed, although there is a push for "safe standing" designs.
Why should you support Millwall?
Well, they stick to fundamentals. Some of their formations are what we in the USA would call "textbook".
No one likes them, and their supporters don't care. This is sung as a chant at every match, home at the Den or away.
Millwall's fans have a history of being politically incorrect, which is awesome in a place like England.
There is more, much more! That is what this thread is for.
I will update Millwall results here, for anyone who cares.
