Do Millwall fans still have a reputation?  I thought that disappeared twenty years ago?

They're still at it. The Everton game in 4th round had quite a bit of trouble, and everytime they go to Wembley there are problems. West Ham v Millwall in about 2010 is also the only time I've felt genuinely unsafe at a game.

There's an odd contrast between their scumbag fans and the club, as the club do a power of good in the local community. They do far more outreach stuff than some of the Premier League clubs.

Why does the bottom tier of the away stand never have any people in it?

Just a lack of demand?

I was at the Norwich game there a few weeks back and there was plenty of people in the bottom tier.

Hope Millwall go through.

After I posted, I had a quick trawl and that seems to be the consensus - a good community club but a small number of scummy fans keeping the attendances low.

Surely the Everton fans were equally as scummy though. West Ham too.

They do seem to allow it on rare occasions. Presumably Millwall v Norwich wasn't considered high risk.

I was at Millwall v Ipswich in October and it genuinely felt like a family club.
Maybe a bit dysfunctional and foul mouthed but there seemed to be a genuine sense of belonging.
The only other London club I've found that with is West Ham.

They represent a fairly distinct area and don't draw much from beyond it. Gentrification of the surrounding area and oligarch owners of rivals creates a siege mentality. They were mental before that as well to be fair.
