***Leith Green*** · 25-08-2009 08:02 PM

Apparently major disorder before the West Ham Vs Millwall game tonight.
Supporter stabbed outside the stadium during pre arranged trouble..

Different ball game when these two play !

**CB_NO3** · 25-08-2009 08:04 PM

Apparently there is trouble still outside the ground now while the game is on.

Definetly one to avoid!

On SSN, hundreds of fans causing chaos outside Upton Park, police calling in more police to deal with it.

***Dibben*** · 25-08-2009 08:06 PM

More police are rushing to the scene!

BH.

**CB_NO3** · 25-08-2009 08:33 PM

Trouble inside the ground.

**Barney McGrew** · 25-08-2009 08:33 PM

Sky News now reporting trouble inside the ground - attempted pitch invasion

**Hibs90** · 25-08-2009 08:36 PM

West Ham scored in the 87th minute. Few idiots on the pitch.

Mad

***Leith Green*** · 25-08-2009 08:38 PM

Wait until all the fans leave the ground after full time... Could be a full scale riot.. Apparently fans trying to geton the pitch from all areas of the ground!

Mental !

**wpj** · 25-08-2009 08:40 PM

Not at all suprised, was at Orient vs Millwall last sason, there was a hammers crew in the orient end and on the streets before the game

***AFKA5814_Hibs*** · 25-08-2009 08:40 PM

Someone has to win the match tonight, so I think there will be a fair bit of trouble again once the game does finish.

***Frazerbob*** · 25-08-2009 08:50 PM

Sure there's only 1500 away fans at the game. Their original allocation was halved by the police.

**Sir David Gray** · 25-08-2009 08:56 PM

Absolutely disgraceful.

I can see the fans inside the ground being kept there for quite a while until the problems outside are dealt with.

The police must have been dreading tonight ever since the draw was made.

It makes the disturbances after our match against Bolton seem like nothing more than a friendly argument.

West Ham have just scored a penalty and the player who has scored went straight to the fans, causing some fans to come on the pitch again and have been goading the Millwall supporters.

***MacBean*** · 25-08-2009 08:58 PM

Ridiculous stories coming out of Upton park tonight.

Im too young to have been through any of the stories from the 70's/80's however what im hearing on SSN and from reading the odd review on BBC etc it doesnt sound like a lot of fun down at the game
someone should tell them what supporting your club is about.

That Stanislas doesnt seem to be making things much better by provoking the fans!!

**CB_NO3** · 25-08-2009 08:58 PM

Play has been suspended.

**sadtom** · 25-08-2009 08:59 PM

And they are usually so well behaved.

**dalkeith stu** · 25-08-2009 09:01 PM

Always on the cards, 1st thing i thought when i saw the fixture.

He should be fined by West Ham.

He is obviously a few sandwiches short of a picnic to have done what he did in those circumstances.

***Sprouleflyer*** · 25-08-2009 09:04 PM

1000 riot police couldn't stop the trouble.

**Gus** · 25-08-2009 09:05 PM

These are not supporters....these are mindless donkey's who have been nursing a semi since the draw was made & not because their team could go on a cup run but so they can pretend they are danny dyer & that they are ard.

***KeithTheHibby*** · 25-08-2009 09:06 PM

There was always going to bother tonight, West Ham won't have played Millwall for years, the minute the pair were drawn together the casuals would have been creaming themselves.

**Danny_Hibee** · 25-08-2009 09:08 PM

Shocking behaviour from both sets of fans (if you can call them that - the ones outside the ground at least) but not surprising at all, not that that is any excuse for what is happening.

The quicker the media stop linking these people to the clubs the better. If they are classed as just hooligans as opposed to West Ham/Millwall hooligans then it might just stop them getting the attention/support they love so much.

Looking like its gonna be a good result tho

**hibee_boy** · 25-08-2009 09:10 PM

Reports of bricks, bottles and darts being thrown as opposition fans outside the ground.

This is by far the worst fixture in terms of football violence in Britian. Makes an Old Firm derby look like a game of scrabble.

**Austinho** · 25-08-2009 09:12 PM

Does anyone know where and when the highlights will be shown?

The game or the trouble?

**Dashing Bob S** · 25-08-2009 09:14 PM

Terrible policing in my opinion. Had texts from London telling me it was inevitable there would be big trouble. Seems like the police were unprepared. By only allocating 1,500 tickets to Millwall they had up to 1,000 more roaming the streets outside looking for trouble. It would have been easier to contain every one in the ground. Getting quite nasty down there from what I hear.
