People love to look at football and turn it into a Hollywood story. This year alone you have Disney with Wrexham, Netflix with Birmingham, and Sky Sports endlessly discussing a fairytale Premier League champion dropping into League One.
But let’s have it right—if we get over the line this season, there’s no better subplot than what’s happened down in SE16.
If we go up this season, Sky, the FA, the EFL and the Premier League will try and spin a narrative that everyone else underperformed. That big bad Millwall are going to be up and down the country causing trouble every week. That ain’t the story.
Our story is a club that had to fight tooth and nail to keep our home against a council that didn’t want us.
Our story is about a son stepping into his dad’s shoes under the most tragic of circumstances to do his family proud.
Our story is about a club legend stepping up and saving us from relegation.
Our story is about a dressing room having to pick itself up and go again after another tragic loss—this time their teammate and friend.
Our story is about a club that doesn’t have TV cameras following us about, doesn’t have a huge budget or superstars on massive wages.
Our story is about a club doing things the right way. Staying true to what it is, staying true to its fans.
And we’re two fucking games from the promised land.
For John. For Mati. For yourselves. Two more games
There’s your Hollywood story…
@jimhacko I agree. There is a player in there that you can’t write off just yet. Defo needs to bulk up over the summer though and be more prepared for the physicality of the English game. Some of our fans expect every signing to hit the ground running and it doesn’t always work like that
@Manly13plus@JPMillwall2 Totally agree. Not even half way through the season yet and other than Coventry, no other club is setting the world alight either. Couple of back to back wins and we are right up there again
@RichCawleySLP Deserves that and a good move by the club. Has never kicked up a fuss about being out the squad and has always performed well when called upon
@philphilby@R_MFC_1885 Again that is the fairest way the club could have done it. 99% of the fans there would have done their fair share of away trips and deserve tickets, apart from the odd few that have given their ticket to a friend coz they can’t make it. People can’t grumble at that
@R_MFC_1885 I would have loved to have gone but I’ve only been to midweek home games this year so I have no right to get a ticket before someone who went Plymouth or PNE away. Did season ticket holders only get 1 ticket per person?
