In London village.
Given that the transport plan (and the drinking requirements of a fair few of us) are based on many of us staying at the ground for up to an hour after games, that sounds fairly spot on to me.

Well we are lead to believe these things happened. No I didn't see it, but then I never saw John Lennon get shot either, did you
...But I still believe it happened.
Holding away fans back for half an hour works when the home fans can walk home within half an hour. We can't really do that at the AmEx because of the queues for the trains- and both sets of fans need to get on the train. It is a bit of a design flaw and I'm not sure how we can get around it.
Rubbish. If they are kept behind for half an hour on Saturdays or midday kick off then they'll be at the back of the queue instead of mingling with home fans.

what a wet lettuce thread this has turned into , seriously SOME PEOPLE NEED TO GET A GRIP !!!!!
If half an hour was enough time to get enough of us home fans away then you would be right. If there are still 300 people queueing then you are talking about asking 1400 Millwall fans to wait patiently whilst watching home fans take up the last places on a train. It might be better than mingling at full time but it isn't really a complete solution.

Then what about the 1000's of home fans who have stayed behind and had a pint ?

Christ, I actually agree with you for once.
The only real reason people want Palace held back is because we were held back there. Didn't work too badly for Millwalls special train, just got their fans to queue in the station car park - easy, no need to be held back at all.

What about relocating the away fans to the north stand and constructing a secure walk way from the north to the station

Top shout Rev, but Shirley it'd be better to sink some narrow subterranean pipework from the away section? The fat gobby lumps from you-know-who can be inserted one by one into said pipe & fired (using compressed air) out towards some godless industrial estate up Crawley way. The Bats will doubtless be happy to boot, although we might have a bit of a battle with the local Mole botherers innit.
No need to go over board. Was there thousands behind on Tuesday? Probably on a nice spring, autum evening but winter?

Out of a crowd of over 20k home fans, whatever the time of year, I reckon there will be a few thousand who stay for a pint after the game, therefore leaving at the same time or just before the away fans are released after being held back 30 mins.
