The @_72 site on Twitter just shared the official attendances for the midweek matches.

Shows how hard it can be to gauge numbers, I wouldn't have thought there was more than 700 from Hull

Decent followings from Cardiff, Blackburn and Watford. Obviously Sunderland also but that’s to be expected.

Millwall have a very poor away following.

Can’t ever remember a time they have brought more than a few hundred to the Turf.

Sure one time they brought about 50. Nathan Dyer scored for us and Cotterill was the manager.

1999/00 last time they brought anything half decent for them numbers wise

I'm guessing the 1100 may be somebody's estimate (as per the other round number asterisked ones)? Though-there's no explanation of what the asterisk means on this screen shot.
Could be your 700 is nearer reality.

I remember when they brought around 50 and I think you are correct with the match.
I was sat in Bob Lord counting them. It didn’t take long. I think I counted 48 but allowed for one or two more who may have been in the toilets.
P!ss poor supporters are Millwall. Only come out when they are winning, or it’s West Ham or Leeds.

I remember a fair view turning up and re-decorating the CFS.

Seems to be estimates based on pictures of fans. I don’t know why clubs don’t just publish the figures. Looking at this angle, which isn’t the best to gauge empty seats, it looks around the 1,000 mark I’d have said?

Millwall fans were banned one season when we drew 2-2. I think it was on TV and I think Kevin Davies scored at least one of their goals.
I would guess that was before Nathan Dyer's time here, but I can't be sure.

Think that was when we were 4 up at half time. Can't remember if they starting ripping up the seats before or after they pulled 3 back.

That was the 99/00 game when we won 4-3. It was lively all day in town and continued during the game and after. It may have been the following season when a few clubs were banned from going there and Millwall going to them. Think it was us Wolves and Forest

Around the time the Burnley SYS was in its pomp and one of the top mobs in the country.

It went off most weeks around then.

I think it may well have been after the 4th goal went it. They were clearly very unhappy about it.

Millwall have had some poor followings to the Turf down the years:

01/02: 380
02/03: 0 (banned)
03/04: 389
04/05: 284
05/06: 85
10/11: 247
11/12: 209

With it being another midweek game it’ll likely be another in the low hundreds.

If I remember correctly, we were also supposed to be banned at the Den but then about a week before the game we were allocated about 250 tickets. I went down with Boundary and Rocky, myself and about 6 others got left in the pub at London Bridge before the game when the coaches left without us! Had to hastily get 2 taxis to get to the ground.

I was speaking to a couple of Millwall fans in their 50s in a pub in Padiham before the 99 game.
It was about 2.45 and kick off off at 3pm.

I told one he was pushing it to get to the game, but he said they always get to away grounds 10 minutes after kick off as opposition supporters are always looking to get revenge on Millwall supporters for decades of trouble.

You don't need the risk of being attacked every week, but it explains why so few travel watching them.

Yeah, wasn't that the reason we banned them?
Millwall announced our fans would be banned from attending the fixture at the Den that season (due to some trouble outside the ground with the fans the season before) so they banned Burnley fans due to police concern. Burnley FC had the chance to appeal the decision, but instead we just banned their fans from coming to Turf Moor the same season.

But with it being a midweek fixture game live on Sky, I think Burnley knew they wouldn't be losing out on much revenue from away fans.

I think it was the other way around. We'd banned their fans and they were going to do the same for us but relented shortly before the fixture and allowed about 250 or so of our fans.

642 Hull fans attended according to some Hull fan on Twitter.

Wonder how many Millwall have took to Norwich tonight ?

The commentator said they had turned up in ‘fine voice & fine numbers’

Friday night live on Sky, 2hr+ drive I’ll go for 700.

Didn’t actually realise Millwall to Swansea is over 4 hours but still 302 is **** poor on a Saturday 3pm.

That was 2002/03 and Davies did score.

The game when Dyer made his debut was 2005/06 when four players were sent off.

Am I right in thinking this is the game Akinbiyi picked Dyer up when he scored and lifted him up like the World Cup ?
