I read a number of disturbing reports on social media about what happened after the Millwall game on Saturday, both in terms of the arrangements made by the club and the conduct of the police.
I have no means of verifying individual reports, but I was particularly concerned to read of one supporter who had taken his young son to a match for the first time. When they eventually reached the station there were already a considerable number of Millwall fans there and his son was hit on the head by an object thrown by someone, leaving him with a bump on the head. Understandably, the youngster doesn't want to go again.
Of course, such incidents are not new. My late wife received a head injury after a game against Palace and had to go to A and E.
I am pleased that CAS Trust have produced an aggregated list of the concerns raised by fans and it will be interesting to see what response they get: https://www.castrust.org/2025/09/management-of-last-saturdays-match/
The club have now responded to CAS Trust and have said they will conduct a matchday survey: https://www.castrust.org/2025/09/club-responds-about-management-of-millwall-game/
My impression is that the police were following the plan they implemented for the last home game against Millwall which I attended and caused serious problems then.
If you want a bit of light relief, I recommend the Paddy Power advert showing Curbs making his pitch to manage Manchester United: https://x.com/paddypower
