Glad we left as soon as we scored the second (my wife has MS), as we got to Main Street, police were charging down Don Street, putting riot gear helmets on as they ran, and five or six riot vans went chasing down New York Way. From the sound of it, it all kicked off outside the stadium as well.

They were extra vile all the way through and I'm sure some of them spent less time watching the game.
The way they reacted after the 2nd goal was unbridled violence. It was even that they got upset for a few minutes. These thugs carried it on and on and on.
Watching the footage on the net it's amazing no one was arrested. To be fair I used to know some lovely Millwall fans when I lived in London, but those today were s***.
Frightening for Family Stand fans and more frightening outside of ground where Wall fans tried to climb the rails near to shop. Middle aged men frothing at the mouth with hatred and anger towards Millers fans. Unbelievable and I feel we were fortunate not to witness something far worse. IMO Millwall could have rampaged both inside and outside of the ground. Those barriers are a joke and so were the police in standing back from the action. But I am informed that they do this until instructed by the club to do otherwise. If they then get involved, it means additional costs for the club. If this is true, then it is shameful and very worrying. Wendy just around the corner?
I hope that the cctv footage can be used for some good and leads to arrests and bans. Some of the people involved must have been in their 50's and you would think they should know better.
