Agree, you dont want to be hanging around the station.

Definitely good information. I don't have any past experiences with MW fans outside of watching Green Street Hooligans lol. We are planning to arrive at the Leeds Station from Manchester sometime between 9:30 and 10:30.

Are you going back to Manchester straight after the game?

Not sure !?
You can get 4 per season ticket. There's 5 of us who sit together, so in theory we could order 25 !!

For years they've had the bubble, like we had going to Cardiff, this year it has been lifted, so they will be coming by train and a good amount of them too.

1400 Millwall fans expected so much more significant than previous seasons when the restrictions were in place.

Millwall fans are escorted in by buses & by the time they arrive close to ER the yobs are chucking objects from the windows smashed on route

Not sure if it's true but I read that the bus companies are refusing to bus them in because of the damage they did last time.

There as been no great incident since 2004(I think it was) since they started the Bubble with them, why risk it for supporters that have shown they're still in 1984.

@millwalltickets have tweeted today that 1121 have been sold. So that equates to 1000 cavemen and 121 sensible, loyal fans
