Nights like last night are why I follow Millwall up and down the land. Terrible places like Luton, Selhurst Park, Walsall etc are all made worthwhile by nights like that.
To think we're in a second FA Cup Semi Final in nine years, for a club of our stature is incredible. It is also a Europa League Play Off, so it is a huge game. I will be there, as I always am.
With regards to last nights away following, I like many others would've faced the sack from work should we have gone. The possible replay details were only announced last Friday, giving us next to no time to get time off of work etc. Then there was the possibility of the game being decided on Sunday, meaning last night would not be needed. Should the game have been next Wednesday, or at a time when more notice was available, we would have easily taken at least 1,500 up there.
If you don't know why we take so little to Leeds by now, you have been living on the Planet Zog.
The away attendance to Middlesbrough was off the back of four straight defeats, a LONG journey, and on the TV. Anyone that went up there deserves massive credit.
Indeed, they might as well present the winner with the trophy then.
Wigan v Millwall is basically a playoff for a Europa League place.
Well I'm sure some people would have thought that for the Carling Cup Final in 2011 between Birmingham City and Arsenal. Didn't turn out that way though.

That's because it was Arsenal just being....well Arsenal.
Man City, Man Utd or Chelsea will kill Wigan or Millwall.

In a one off game? On a neutral ground? Absolutely sure of that are you?
I expected Everton to kill Wigan at Goodison after the easy win they gave Liverpool, but they're just the kind of team that could win or lose against *anybody*. If they lose against Millwall, then yes, I'd say the final would be a non-event, but with Wigan in it, I really wouldn't be sure.
Obviously their opponents, whoever they are, would be hot favourites, but I wouldn't put money on it - too much risk for too small a return.

Opps...your right there!
Millwall are in the semi's as the thread title says v Wigan
Whats the issue?
Initially the thread title indicated they were in the final.
quoted, before the inevitable retraction.
Yes - Blackburn only had 8k tonight!
They derserve to be in the semi's, Good luck to Milwall.
To be fair both it was pathetic from both sides on that front. Millwall took less than 500 tonight.
Although much better than the 75 at Middlesborough and 80 at Leeds
Watch them find 40,000 fans for the semi final though
If Wigan can find a performance to match the one at Everton, nothing can be taken for granted.

We are the biggest small club in the world.

Almost didn't turn out that way in 2012 either...
that would be the least interesting of the options available.
