we took the the Palace in half a pint...

[CHAPPERS]

Far too old, alcoholic and cowardly in my case.

Sounds like fighting talk to me.

Only if you get in their way when they are going to the bar...

I know that, but surely one of you's got one tho?? Oh well :s

Outside of home games, not one person I go to matches with wears colours. If that makes us bad fans and not loyal enough to the club then so be it.

 

[Notters]

Not at all mate... We're all in the good ship Albion.

 

[New York Geezer]

In some of those boozers wearing any colours could be a bad idea, at any time!

Although most of the punters were too pissed the two times I did the crawl. How was the Albion in Rotherhithe?

 

[Arthur]

Shame on you all!

Not one painted face!

No sign of one of those annoying horns.

No stupid hats or wigs.

More importantly not one Falmer For All forehead tattoo anywhere!

Call yourselves Albion? Pah!

 

[Balti Pie Man]

Please don't knock any of these lads in the pictures! They have been following the Albion for years and the club would have died but for people like them.

And they have been known to have a beer or two.....

 

[London Calling]

Fair weather Albion fans!

I bet they don't even sing on the 27 bus through Westdene, even when they see a Windmill.

NYG the Rotherhithe one was the same as, actually think that it is not a bad boozer. There were lots of Milwall flags outside it still, but nobody in it.

At least 2 of the pubs (Acton and Cambden) had karoke on and as they were towards the end of the day, the scene was not pleasant.

However as we did not wear colours, we will have to resign from the event and let better fans take over...

This year we're off to sunny Spain...

 

[New York Geezer]

Uncle Buck, a surprising number of pubs started sprouting Millwall flags in the general Rotherhithe/New Cross/Bermondsey area - in the build up there was even a chappie selling 'your genuine Millwall cup final flags' outside the pie and mash on Tower Bridge Road, close to me new gaff. Bit of a shock to some of the newer inhabitants of the 'hood who clearly have no idea about the general history of the area. All they want is a Starbucks to open up.

Anyway, well done for keeping the tradition going - even if you did leave the scarfers clobber in the attic. Who knows next year the Bingo Bus might join in - now that would be interesting!

I think next year we may make it less of a secret, not sure SOL are happy with us, as we did not tell them about it until about 2 days before the event and them only one of their members turned up, so no comedy moments with a bag of chips this time.

Have to say we did the route in much better time this year, although we did cut out the one in High Barnet.

 

[Lammy]

So what was the route and how manyu pubs were involved?

Sounds like a good one!

We used the underground, overland trains, buses, Woolwich ferry and a taxi towards the end to make some of the time up. We got good value out of our travelcards.
