As many have said, there will be plenty of families in and around the game and even the most mindless thug isn't into that.

It'll be fine, most of the 'Wall have no interest in RL (though maybe the Pies can convert some) so providing people don't go into the local pubs creating there'll be no bother.
Yes it'd be great if we could play as the curtain raiser!

http://www.fourpure.com/ Sounds good - there's a fair few of these sort of places popping up under the railway arches in and around Bermondsey as a number of food and booze companies that were originally set up in Borough market have moved out to pastures new. Didn't realise there was one this close to the Den.

Hmmmm the appeal of watching catalan against the fact it's technically a pies game, allez les dracs!
Funny thing tho, I have a mate who is a Millwall supporter, never tried to beat me up yet!

Hope he brings the wine with him to toast Mr Lenagan"s (EDIT) strategy .

See you there Paddock

Strategy? That went out of the window the day he sloped of to the home of Vimto and Uncle Joe's Mint Balls. Or perhaps we should have a Bolton and Blackburn "strategy"?

Ha Ha .

Was tongue in cheek statement .

But come to think about it don't you just wish you had someone at the Bronco's with just 1% of IFL's business sense . I admit this is not his finest idea but he ain't done much else wrong at Wigan . I follow the Bronco's closely and go to their games whenever i am down visiting family . To blame IL for everything is just a tad blinkered IMO .

The home town of uncle Joe's and Vimto is also Mr Lenigans home town

As always ,

best regards , EW

Could you please explain what IL did for the Broncos when he owned the club, and why did he walk away?
