Why did Bill Nic have us training in red?
its was from long before that.. we where in the northbank long before 1982.. remember mid 70's myself unfurlingIsn't Hark Now Hear from boxing day '82 when we took the North Bank?
As i recall, the 'boxing day chant came from the game vs Milwall away on Boxing Day 1977. The previous home game (Palace on the 17th) leaflets were distributed in the Park Lane saying 'Millwall Boxing Day DONT BOTTLE IT' with the meeting point (London Bridge) & time for the long walk mob handed to the old Den.
That was not an occasion for the faint hearted but we had massive numbers there day.
Ah, but did you double wrist Mrs P?yes, that was definitely the way to wear the silk scarves - I had a white one with cockerel on ball dotted all over.

Of course, didn't everyone?Ah, but did you double wrist Mrs P?
Who told you that?
When do you think all the anti Woolwich songs came from? They've been sung for decades all over the country...
You dont even hear them now "Hark thou.." is never sung anymore, thats from like 75 or so when they spanked us on boxing day I believe..
Today, people gloat on twitter. The fact that people complain about singing anti arse songs in other games says alot..
the only day that ever beat the size of that mob imho was Chelsea away in the f.a cup when we took the piss
from Sloane square all the way down kings road & walked straight into Chelsea's main lot at worlds ends & destroyed them.
posted on that millwall day before mate when we got split afterwards at the top of ilderton road after the game!
think most yids where more afraid of the consequences from our own for taking a backward step rather than
fronting walls lot & nobody took a backward step even when all the artillery came our way out of the sky
that mob walking over London bridge that morning was something to behold though!.. everyone & his dog was out on show after all the threats & panorama bollocks.
happy days

Looked very good tied around ones wrist, what, what.those 2 silky efforts on the left. they were popular in about early-mid '70's. I hated them!! fashion disaster era, big time
its was from long before that.. we where in the northbank long before 1982.. remember mid 70's myself unfurling
a "Paxton road" banner when we got well under the roof & took and held the middle for the first time If I recall correctly before getting outnumbered & rushed from all sides... we ended up all over the northbank that day with lots of little offs everywhere.. even our schoolboys took there schoolboys section in them days
it was always the traditional game on boxing day back then & before.
