    I think its smart to cash on football fans, the demographic is the same so why not?

    The reason Hatton got so big so quicxk was because he was at maine road every week, came to ring with Blue moon and had sky blue shorts on...

    As for Millwall fans kickin off at fights, i think this is a genuine possibility and we likely happen...

    Why shouldn'y he...? it is fair game.. If he could put 20, 000 in the O2, there is no reason why hw could not put 30,000 in The Den...:good

    Never been to The New Den, but went to the old Den at New Cross Gate a few times...that subway up to the away end was mad at full time...:scaredas:

    cashing in? he is a lifelong millwall fan who goes on the pitch after winning the title

    sure he's got a big following amongst them already judging by the the enzo & barrett fights

    He was seen trying to sell fake versions of his title belt out of his car boot after the game.

    Hopefully he'll start fighting in the states so the pikey scum can't afford it.

    Most of them are racist beyond belief it makes me laugh.

    Yes i'm a west ham fan

    I'd guess Graham Dott, he's a very boring man tbf so I doubt most would remember who he is.

    And?

    Millwall were also used by Haye to promote the Enzo fight as well (I think it was Swansea - Enzo's team - against Millwall on the day of the fight).

    The 'fanbase' is definitely more vast than anything Fulham could muster.:deal

    You're premier league mate...You're from SE London - you know the fanbase is bigger than Fulham's....Circumstances have fukked Millwall.
    Fulham are a tidy club - but your fanbase all actually go to the Cottage - which is commendable and the best scenario a club could hope for...But Millwall have a bigger fanbase but no **** goes due to getting branded a racist by any **** who has ever read a tabloid but never had the bottle to go to a match in SE15 or SE16 . The New Den is in a **** location too - Barnaby shut/Golden Lion/EJs shut - no pubs, no fun :good

    Millwall have tons of half followers who will turn out for a big game.

    Apart from that Ive been to games at the Den where only 2 stands have been open to home fans.
