Lots of comments about the less savoury elements to visit the Amex last night.

So, if you had the authority to do it, would you say "Sorry, no tickets for you next time?"

No. It would encourage away supporters to find their way into the home end.

I'd just halve their allocation to be honest.

No this is a terrible idea, perhaps have more control in place on ticket sales, away fan special train, more proactive stewarding and policing.

I have seen a very small minority of fans act in similar fashion the other week away at Sehurst I would be shocked if they asked for the same. Its an Ugly side of football but banning it rather than dealing with it will only make it worse over time.

Definitely not. Unfair on the fans who behave themselves.

Imagine how we would react if we were banned from the New Den because a minority of fans ran amok or we got banned from Selhurst because Brighton fans ripped up and stole seats / chucked things at players etc.

It would be a pisser and unfair on the majority, but really not the end of the world. Not that I would choose it, mind. (see above)

I would say no, but reduce the allocation to withdean levels. If any continuation of bad behaviour continues then refuse them tickets.

I would. Beam it back to the Den and let them wreck their own stadium. Might encourage the better fans to take some responsibility by identifying the troublemakers.

Note: before someone somewhere writes something like "that twat Bozza on North Stand Chat is saying Millwall fans should be banned from the Amex" - no, no I'm not. I'm merely putting the poll up based on opinions raised last night and this morning. Oh, and I voted 'no' too.

No, because unless I missed something it was probably less than 5% of their fans misbehaving last night. Reports are that 40 or so were arrested, of 2,000ish. Seems unfair to punish to other 1,960. Put stricter controls in place though, but not so restrictive that it causes them to act out in protest. As [MENTION=13055]Ninja Elephant[/MENTION] said (sorry, I don't know how to do mentions properly) if we treat them like hooligans they'll live up to it.

Clearly wasn't just 40 that were causing trouble though by the sound of it. Perhaps if the whole club were punished they'd actually start to address the issue?

The number arrested is not a measure of how many were causing trouble. The number involved was substantially higher than that.
