A big game like this one brings out a lot of occasional supporters and this is what causes the policing issue at Millwall. I've been to many games at their old and new grounds as I used to live in the area and worked with Millwall fans. I was at the grand opening of the New Den against Sporting Lisbon, big cup games against the likes of Arsenal and also mundane league games in League 1. I've also seen the Albion at both grounds. In the last 25 or so years the issues are at these big games with all the occasional fans whereas the regulars cause no more issues than any other sets of fans. Stereotyping all Millwall fans as knuckledraggers is about as ignorant as some of theirs stereotyping of BHA fans. That said there is a significant threat from their part timers so I would not be that confident about getting a large allocation. It's just too difficult to police.

I went in 12/13, 13/14 and 14/15.
Its well policed, segregated from South Bermondsey station all the way to the away end, and you're kept completely away from the home fans.
There was no trouble at all apart from the usual chanting, gestures during the games although even that was pretty confined to literally a handful of miscreants.

True, but our last game there had a total crowd of about 8,000, the game was utter, utter turd (0-0 I think ?) with virtually nothing riding on it (except our possible relegation under Sami). Slightly different to the bouncing full house it'll be for a QF. The gestures last time came from a lone fat bloke on the left hand side in a three-quarters empty block.

Yes. It was a miserable 0-0 on a Tuesday night. Chris had taken over by then thankfully so was grinding out the results.
Was it Millwall or Charlton where the, ahem, unfortunate-looking woman in the white was giving it the large one to us from the stand over to our right?
On topic: it’ll be fine. Almost certainly.

I've not been away at Millwall. How does the train thing work for the away fans platform? Does it leave from London Bridge?

The 'dilly dallying' was actually just trying to survive!
This. Their fanbase inside and those not attending (including those witb banning orders) will be absolutely desparate for another Wembley appearance. Failure to achieve that won’t be taken well, they’ll look to make a statement, which may be in the form of attacks on the police. They have form away from run of the mill league games.

Well if they took it away then the top tier would be the bottom tier because there'd be no bottom tier to make the top tier the top tier innit.
Police are at London Bridge when you arrived you travel one station to South Bermondsey with the Millwall supporters who are very noisy but no trouble. Arriving at South Bermondsey there are more police. Everyone goes down the steps and at the bottom of the step there is a walk way to the ground for the away supporters. After the game the away supporter go back to the station the way they came and are normally let on to the platform before the Millwall supporters who are held back by Police on horses for later trains. Police are also on all trains to London Bridge and at London Bridge.

In the next few days I would imagine. Police levels have to be organised and conflicting routes of travelling fans taken into account...oh, and tv demands

I would imagine end of week. Should probably announce April TV games as well on Friday (after Europa League draw)

Yes it does start from London Bridge (though you could travel from East Croydon via West Norwood and Gypsy Hill I think which would open up more drinking choices) Sth Bermondsey is one stop and 4 minutes from London Bridge
