I have been to most away games this season as I have been doing for 3 decades. Really enjoyed last week at Wycombe and the trip to the Den today.

I’ve played football for many years but only at a Sunday morning Preston league level. As a result I have no idea what it must feel like to experience Championship football.

99% of what is happening at PNE at the moment is fantastic but could someone suggest to the likes of Jordan H that he acknowledges the 1500 fans before he just walks down the tunnel when the whistle blows. Also whilst I have nothing but admiration for the job AH is doing he could learn from SG who at least clapped the fans afterwards. I guess if the whistle blew and I was frustrated I may react in the same way but ——

Our support today was unbelievable. Loved it.

Are you there to suport the team or just there to to say look at me aren't I special? Get over your self you precious litle twat.
 
Does this sort of stuff really matter that much to you Temper Trap? Or to anyone for that matter?

There are a million and one issues that AN and the players have to contend with. The fans shouldn't create any more with banal and pointless complaints.
 
Alex Neil acknowledged the fans at the end from his technical area, non issue in my opinion. In relation to Larry, I often felt he milked it at away games & made it all about him.
Top support today lads, noticed a few Millwall acknowledging the same online.

Just being held back on the caged walkway to the station by the police for ages. A few folk were sweating on getting back to Euston for trains, etc.

Getting let on to the train platform didn't solve much either. People just swamped the first train fucking about / kicking off with each other trying to get on it.

Just drama really but all seemed a bit silly. Not nice having to worry about getting back for trains, etc.

That was absolutely ridiculous, not to mention the pushing and shoving. Admittedly I have experienced worse though.

Have to say Millwall isn't one of the 'better' London trips as you're all practically herded to the same place.

The vast majority of the players came over to the supporters after the final whistle, I can't say I noticed whether Jordan Hugill or any others didn't so can't comment.

However, I think the comments about Alex Neil are out of order. He may not walk up to the away support like Simon Grayson did, but I can't remember a single away game I've been to that he hasn't acknowledged the traveling fans, albeit from the touchline.

That's not true - away fans are allowed to make their own way there and out.

You have the option of walking from & to the tube at Bermondsey or Canada Water or trains at Surrey Queys or New Cross.

My Forest supporting mate just says he is going to New Cross and let him through.

They are hoping to build a new tube stop right next to the ground - that should relieve the pressure.

Ah, never knew that. I just incorrectly presumed they locked the gates at the other end.
