"Millwall v Bournemouth"

As a nautral I decided to purchase a match ticket online on the morning of the match to be collected at the club ticket office. Due to engineering works I was told there was no trains between London Bridge and South Bermondsey and to get the train to New Cross Gate which is quite some walk away. Then after arriving at the ground I had to que up to collect my ticket and was then directed by a steward to the wrong entrance so had to walk back through the ticket ques to find my proper entrance.I finally got into my seat at 2.55pm, due to there being a larger crowd then normal as it was a FA Cup game the atmosphere was great and with Millwall totally on top the locals were happy.I watched the first half from the Upper stand but decided the watch the second half from the lower stand. After the match I did get a train from South Bermondsey back to London Bridge for a connection back to the South Coast.

Location

If I had not been given the wrong information at London Bridge regarding no trains to South Bermondsey the experience would have been alot better, as it was a long walk from New Cross Gate.
The journey time from London Bridge is just 5 minutes to South Bermondsey with the ground a 10 minute walk away.I chose to visit a couple of pubs near London Bridge before the match as there are plenty in that area.

View

I watched the first half of the match in the upper tier, the view was good and the leg room og, the second half I watched the game from the lower tier you are more open to the weather but as most were standing it added to the atmospher.

Facilities

Toilets ok.

Food & Drink

Did'nt buy anything due to the ques at half time but the food seemed og and they also sell alchohol.

Police & Stewards

As you'd expect there was plenty of policing both inside and outside the ground but I saw no trouble, there was both Millwall and Bournemouth fans on the train back to London Bridge after the game.

Atmosphere

Really good, but with Millwall winning 3-0 it would be.
