    What a beautiful place. Wonderful memories as a kid watching the Lions in the 80' and early 90's. Emotional memories 💙

    Glad you all like my albeit short film. Never realised at the time that 40 years on it would be so popular. Sorry about the quality !

    So sad losing these gorgeous grounds replaced by tedious stadiums.

    Went there a time or two following MCFC .... it was never the most welcoming of places, but i kinda liked the grounds closeness, and its tight surroundings.

    been following millwall for over 40 years used to stand in the halfway by the tea hut
    the new ground may be better but you couldnt beat the old den for the passion noise and putting the fear of god into away fans as they walked to the ground through the tunnels
    seen some crazy things at the old den and it was a dump but would go back there in a flash
    No one likes us We dont care

    First memory of the old den , my dad taking me late sixties early seventies, 5 or 6 years old. Smashing Luton 4 - 0, Malcom Mcdonald playing for them and we sat in the old forecourt orange seats. Many memories after that with mates on the halfway.

      MJ DELEGATION : I remember that match. Malcolm McDonald playing for Luton was the up and coming golden boy of English football at the time. He got some stick that day.

    I loved going to the Old Den as an away fan, great atmosphere, and loved these proper football grounds that were all different and unique and quirky in their own ways, and the Old Den was very much one of those. So sad that it's gone, the New Den lacks so much in comparison. Maybe Millwall fans prefer it, but as an away fan, I miss Cold Blow Lane, a proper footie ground! Have to say though that the Millwall fans talk it up way too much as it wasn't intimidating, but maybe it was for the players having to enter and exit in the middle of the home end. Whoever decided to put the tunnel there was a genius - can you imagine that design in a current modern ground.. ..

      It was actually alright Stephen .... i'm a city fan , and i went to the old Den once or twice .... there was usually enough coppers around to prevent much trouble .... it's not a ground that is easily forgotten though, small, compact, tight surroundings etc.
