March 31Mar 31 Hickey in his monkey suit….. bit later we went there. At half time a few ground staff came out at half time, raking the pitch. Mostly black or mixed race from memory. “ They’re planting coconuts they’re planting coconuts…” Poor taste by today’s standards, but wasn’t sung with any malice. Different era. Oh and we got ambushed by West Ham and Mile End coming back

That’s when we weee your proverbial “ Sleeping Giants”When we got promoted with Newcastle and Sheffield Wednesdays in 84, all three of us kinda fell under the same label

You mentioned getting the bus from Brixton to the Bridge back in the day. Was Brixton mostly Brixton or Millwall? My brother in laws Mike C, who wrote our Cup Final Song Blue Dsy, was from Brixton Hill, as were many others. Also know of lads from the same era, perhaps more North Brixton and Coldharbour Lane direction that were Millwall. Stockwell was staunch Chelsea, Streatham fairly Chelsea with also a lot of Palace I’m told. Fascinating the tribal dynamic back in the day, no doubt influenced by transport links and relative fashionability of clubs at the time
