Id say that you would have been farked either way !
it may be more complicated than that. Millwall sold tickets far more tickets than they have regular punters. Some of them to Palace fans.Looks like Millwal; fans are letting themselves down..

Now i see what the fuss is about. Friendly bunch arnt they
These are west ham fans by the looks of it, plenty of claret and blue.
I've been on a coach bricked by millwall fans back in the day, particularly galling considering my dad supported them.

Millwall supporters blaming everyone but themselves, "it was West Ham supporters", "it was Chelsea supporters", "it was Crystal Palace supporters". Until they admit they have a hooligan problem they won't be able to rid themselves of their hooligan element and they'll always have a reputation for crowd trouble, talk about sticking your head in the sand.

Thankfully they wont be at the final.
There was talk about banning Millwall from the FA cup until they sort this out....seems a plan to me.
I wonder how many white vans were in the car park yesterday.

I agree that they are indeed thugs, and have no place in football. I just was making the point that that video, although labelled as millwall vs Wigan, is in fact west ham fans rioting before their game against millwall a couple of seasons ago - a poor choice to make such a point about millwall. Getting facts right makes a point stronger.
Every club in the country has got it's share of knobheads who want to have a bit of a ruck, to think otherwise is just as ostrich like as the quoted millwall fans blaming everyone else(fwiw I heard about west ham fans trying to buy tickets for the Wigan end on Friday). Millwalls problem is they have that reputation that probably attracts said knobheads who know that they'll get some "fun" if they stick with them and thus it perpetuates the problem. As for solutions? What is suggested? Life bans for said fans? That won't work, I used to work with a Chelsea fan who was banned from every ground in the country and had a restraining order from being within a set distance of Stamford bridge - he still got to games.

I dunno mate....maybe a criminal record check on each online ticket sale?
Shame it's come to this....but for the most part football has cleaned up its act....at the Amex in Brighton it couldn't be more family friendly and safe...and 'Im in the north stand behind the goal...sure a bit of yelling etc....that's all part of the fun...but Ive never seen a fight or even anyone being verbally abusive to a fellow supporter....erm....palace players excluded of course lol!

i hate hills
Its my day to be brilliant
2-0 to Brechin with a team ravaged by injuries and suspension. Arbroath all over us first half . Second period different story as City came into it more. Not a classic derby but these are the days when 3 points are more important than performance. Double header against Albion Rovers next who are at the foot of the table, we are not quite there yet regarding the playoffs but hopefully sort that out soon. Nice to see the minutes silence for our former groundsman Sye Laing was perfectly observed by both sets of fans. Well done everyone.

I think one thing you find is that you don't see it, Brighton were fourth in the number of football related arrests in 11-12 behind Leeds, Birmingham and millwall. All of whom have reputations. For those millwall 'fans' yesterday was their cup final, their chance to get maximum publicity and kudos in their crap world.
One of the weird things is, I went to most of my matches in the so called dark ages of the 80s. These days I have little enthusiasm for going that much, it all seems so corporate, sterile and dull (not to mention hideously expensive) that I've only really enjoyed the odd non-league game.
