Might be wise to buy a single ticket, just in case you don't come back.

Did your friends also tell you there is a purpose built walkway for fans from South Bermondsey Railway Station right to the ground and on matchdays Millwall fans can be sighted on top of this with semtex, blow torches, sledge hammers and disc cutters trying to get in.

As long as you keep your head down afterwards and don't become a wannabee following the CSF lads everything should be fine.

This is the way i will be taking SwindleRed and another friend ! but thats only becasue i live iin Wapping and its by far and away the easiest route. In all honesty i think this is getting blown up out of proportion. Millwall will be fine for any travelling away fan - a lot of work has gone in to erradicating a lot of the trouble they use to have.

Rising sun in Covent if we get promoted that day for a promotion party !? Home of London Bristol City supporters.......

What again?

I bought one in the eighties it can't be my turn again :noexpression:

[Guest brizzlenick]

I advise nobody to where colours, because you still might come back in red, but bloody red !

[bartolona]

Going up on the train and wearing my colours as the saying goes "these colours don't run"

[redmeanie]

i would suggest that these days, if you wear a football shirt, you're less likely to get into trouble! You may get shouted at, but probably won't end up fighting. The majority of football related fights I see... noones wearing replica football shirts!!

relax.. and enjoy the promotion party!

[Guest chezzed]

The tickets I have weren't purchased to travel to London for the Millwall v Bristol City game !!!!

Wetherspoons - 9.30am T Meads - Paddington - London Bridge - Oast House - Sth Bermondsey - Millwall - Covent Garden - Punch & Judy - 10pm Paddington - T Meads - first bar or club we stumble across. Celebration day.

Oh yes.

[bristolborn_and_red]

I believe the trains at 0801, 0831, 0901 have now sold out (wonder why that is?). I'm on the 1001 myself and there are loads of city going on this train. Get booking as prices have now risen to £42 return.

correction still £40 return.

Suspect it wont go exactly like that Arny.... what time's the first train back on Sunday morning?

[Guest richerella]

Just remember you have to change tube between Paddington and London Bridge!

My idea would be to change at Baker Street where the Bakerloo and Jubilee Lines are side by side meaning you don't have to think too much and then take the Jubilee to London Bridge.

Alternatively if you've had a skin full fall asleep on the Bakerloo and walk from Elephant and Castle to the new den - 20 mins I reckon. And it would be a back route without much aggro!

Baker street is the place to change for the jubilee line, as its a walk accross the platform. Can i just add that it would be easier to stay on the Jubilee Line to Canada water and then walk to the New den (7 mins walk). (or change at canada water for the east london line and go down one stop to surrey quays - about 4 mins walk to the ground) It would also mean you only have to buy a Zone 2 tube ticket rather than a Zone 1 tube pass and then seperate tickets for the train.

I am not sure why everyone is getting the train out of London Bridge to Bermondsey, As a Londoner this just doesnt make sense when you can do it all on the Tube for less time and less money.

Apparantly, the 12 (at very least) coaches will be stopped on London Bridge for about half hour by the police, then given a police escort to the ground from their. Then straight into the ground i think.

[tin]

Me and my mate are going up on the 9am from Temple Meads, gets in at 10.44, just for opening time! A few in town then train/tube to South Bermondsey. Bargain £24 return with railcard.

Anyone on this train?

[Fodbarmyarmy]

The train route I would take would be

Paddington to Victoria by tube

Victoria 14.15 direct to sth Bermondsey ar 14.25 - walkway to ground

This gives you many hours in a pub outside Victoria before a direct train straight to sth Bermondsey - could not be easier

Why mess about with al this tube change crap

return is sth bermondsey direct to Victoria arriving around 17.30

but I am on the coach now with the boy as his mum would not let me take him to Milwall via Train....ah bless

[haggis_farewell]

I live in London, so this is one of the only games I don't need to do much travel for - I'll hit up the underground then go mental in the ground when we score.

[Guest tux1982]

I'm stayin in croydon on friday/saturday night whats the best way for me to get to/from the ground?

would like to join city fans for a pre match pint or is this very unlikely to happen? is london bridge or covent garden the best? would also like to join in the party IF it happens is covent garden the shout for after match drinks?

I agree. That is a direct tube. Why is everyone suggesting going to London Bridge for the train?

This train stops at Peckham & Peckham Rye en route to South Bermondsey and presumably will get loaded with 'wall fans - ok for those who want this kind of encounter - but I suspect the London Bridge to South Bermondsey train/route (also of course used by 'wall ) but this will be well policed (as it's the usual route in for away fans) and therefore safer.

I don't know (or care) what Millwall fans problem is (their aggression I mean) - but whatever problem it is I don't really want to be a part of it........so London Bridge/Sth Bermondsey for me after a few pints around Borough, and maybe Covent afterwards.

Thank you!!

London Bridge for me then.

[Guest Uxbridge Red]

Thank you!!

London Bridge for me then.

London Bridge for me as well. Jubilee line from Baker St is really swish - not like the decrepid circle line all the way to Victoria. Think there is going to be a great atmosphere in Paddington before and hopefully after the game on Saturday.

Plenty of free parking around the Uxbridge / Hillingdon area for those driving and then transferring onto the underground. Brentford is OK but a bit dodgy at times.

Uxbridge Red

We're thinking of parking at either Uxbridge/Hillingdon/Ickenham tube and then Metropolitan to Finchley Rd, & Jubilee to LB, followed by beer session around Borough High St (can't say which pub - don't want a 'wall visit!) then LB to Sth Bermondsey for the party!

As a Uxbridge local ITK where is the best place to park up (Free/cheapest/safest) & therefore which station is best from the 3 mentioned.......appreciate the tip - thanx

You Redzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ........have it!!

[Guest Blue Lion]

I wouldn't recommend drinking in the London Bridge/Borough areas as 'Wall firms' normally go on scouting missions both before and after the game, have a beer around Paddington or Covent Garden you'll be a lot safer there.

[BristolCity1992]

To be fair I thought most "decent" really wanted to use another word except for decent but tahts the only word that springs to mind right now "firms" left innocents alone now.

[Guest Blue Lion]

There are pubs galore in London and 90% of them you'll be safe in so why take a chance and drink somewhere where you'll have to keep your eye permanently on the door!

[BristolCity1992]

Yeah I agree, just shocked that they would attack what really are no bodys, I was on about more where you park the car kind of thing saying that anywhere you go you have to be careful where you park, park in well lit areas near the ground hopefully and just use common sense.

The Dens located in one of the less salubrious parts of town so even we as home supporters take a chance if we have to park in the local streets, if you're travelling down by car get to the ground by 1 o/c and park locally just off Ilderton Rd in maybe Hornshay or Rollins St, don't wear colours, remove any car stickers and you'll probably be okay, as you say common sense.

[BristolCity1992]

Yeah wish I was coming, maybe if we get more tickets I will be able to stretch this weeks money.
