Into the Lion’s Den
Millwall used to play at the Cold Blow Lane, which like Portsmouth was an Archibald Leitch-designed stadium, but moved to the New Den in 1993. I never went to the old ground and this was my first visit to the new one.
The New Den
I arrived at the ground on a P12 bus from Canada Water after having an early supper at Carluccio’s in Canary Wharf. It was an easy way to get to the ground.
Millwall supporters have in the past not been noted for giving a warm reception to their visitors, but I found eveverybody friendly, even if you can see from the photograph, tha the crowd was a bit sparse.
The game wasn’t the best in terms of football, but the result was right, in that Ipswich won.
It was a struggle afterwards to get back to Liverpool Street for my train home, as I took the train to London Bridge and then used the Underground. But I made my desired train with a few minutes to spare.
