Anyone got any stories from the dark days of the old den or in recent years during the 2000's? My one and only trip was the promotion season when the we were bombarded with advertising hoarding, unfortuantely I kopped a piece on my downstairs. A poor night on and off the pitch for me. Any happy stories concerning that lot would be appreciated. |  | | |  |

Yes I was one of the few in the away end and it felt more like 200 than 500. The first leg was very tasty with fights breaking out all around LR at half time, certainly seemed premeditated. We were 2-0 up and they got one back late on. I have never seen away celebrations quite like it, they went completely mental.
There was a good crowd in the home sections for the second leg. I went with a Forest supporting mate and it felt very vulnerable in the away corner with so few there. Our incredibly negative tactics then infuriated an already wound up home crowd and getting out alive was the main aim afterwards!
Cold Blow Lane was just as welcoming as it sounds.
Went a couple of years later after they had been promoted. Was a Saturday game and more like 2,000 Rangers there. Much less intimidating possibly helped by the fact we lost 3-2. Was in the Cascarino and Sheringham days and Sheringham was the one they didn't really rate out of the two. Martin Allen got one for us that day I think. |
I went to that 87 game too as a 17 year old. Don't remember it being too bad, just a lot of booing and a lot of fences. We were top of the first division at the time too. been three times to the new den but swore last time ( 2 - 0 defeat in promotion year ) I wasn't going again. Got fed up with being treated like a criminal while their mob do as they like |  | | |

I recall a game at the old Den in the early 70's i was 10 at the time,we won 1-0. At half time we went down to the get a Bovril and when we went into the bar we got a ' bit of a shock '.
There was a QPR fan with one of those old Dr Who type scarfs ( long ones ) hanging from a rafter. Poor sod had been grabbed by a load of wall and they threw his scarf around the rather and tied it round his neck. Poor sod was grabbing his neck and kicking around, anyone that went to help was getting a slap from the wall mob.Old Bill came in after what seemed like ages and got him down, poor bloke was a shaking mess.
My old man tried to get us out the ground but the stewards refused to let us leave.At full time when we left there was 2 police cars on there side and the locals were going mad.
Was the one and only time i went to the Old Den. |

Never been away to Milwall.I was there when Clive Wilson slotted the last second pen tho.They had massive support that day ,the whole away end and we were surrounded in the Ellerslie by nawty geezas.For a historically racist club I was amazed at the number of Asian / Arabic looking fans they had. Mind you they wer'nt your studious looking Asian type.They looked more like Prince Naseem Hamed after he retired but with flatter noses and more scars.
Fair play to them tho the ones in the seats round us were sound even after we scored.Apart from one moron who stood at the exit at the end saying 'Lucky Rangers c'nts' non stop. [Post edited 18 Oct 2013 8:32]

Just remembered, 1967 3-1 win over Millwall was my first home match. I remember it bucketed down so my mate and I provided shelter from the rain and warmth on the open SAR terraces to two girls from Acton. That was the start of a great relationship...with the club! |  | | |

The 6 -1 thrashing in 1966 at Loftus Road was better still. This was the game when Len Julians chucked a coin at us on the South Africa Road terraces and cut a bloke's eyebrow open in front on me.
Cue Millwall invasion from the School End for a sit in around Peter Springett's goalmouth when the sixth goal went in at the other end, repelled by the Met mounted police, whose horses trampled all over the Millwall fans sitting in the penalty area. Rapturous applause from the R's fans.
About the only time the Met has taken them on.
Great to see, great game, I think John Collins got a hat trick, was anyone else on this board there? |  |

Yup,was in the Ellerslie.
Some old biddy Lions fan,obviously worse for drink lurching down the concourse behind the stand after Millwall royally tanked....she couldn't handle the shock,started ranting "come on you 'ores,yeah they're a buncha 'ores har haaaaar"....and her tiny husband with a pepper and salt moustache,glasses, was going "Doris....don't...please don't...."An R's fan piped up with "Is that your old woman?You make a right f*cking pair".
Real Old School sheeeit. |  |

yes 1 was present, used to sell the programmes. That period 1966-68 was fantastic to be a Rangers fan, especially a 10 year old  | | | |
