Speaker 1 (00:01):
Bethany Manctelow here, Welcome to our Millwell fan show with
some new voices but the same focus. Just everything Millwell enjoy.
Welcome to the twenty twenty four to twenty five season
of Millwell. No One Likes Us talkins our Millwell fan Show.
I'm your host Bethany manctelow and joining me, I've got
(00:21):
the no One likes his talking team members Dan Godwin,
Steve Warren and Dave Hart.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Not everybody likes them, but they don't care.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Another fantastic win against middles Bronze Saturday without Burrough's Loney
to us Josh Coben, but Neglie is out for the
rest of the season. Another Docor's Day was marked by
a different format, also honoring the late Dave Memet. Phil
Coleman will discuss that later in the show. After the match,
Alex Neil discussed the recent effectiveness of the four four
(00:54):
to two formation and emphasized the need for flexibility within
the Millwall squad and systems of play. Sad What did
you think of Alex Nil's poach about view about four
four to two and the flexibility of squads and systems.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I think Alex has proved how flexible he's prepared to be.
Going with one striker on Saturday didn't prove effective, and
he said himself, I didn't get it right. So putting
too upfront changed that dynamic and we got better and
moved the ball quicker and suited us playing higher up
the pitch. Also, using the two white players to create
opportunities gave us another attacking threat which we didn't really
have in the first half. I think we've got to
(01:31):
remember that four four to two doesn't mean having to
lump it forward. It's just an option. But it is
just that an option. From my perspective, planning higher up
meant that we were stretching the opposition and they had
to play more passes to get it upfield and the
midfield we're kind of shutting them down. And I thought
i'd like to say here that Billy was immense on Saturday.
He seems to have really cemented that spot. Now all
(01:51):
around game is improving week on week and he's thrived
under Alex Neil, and I think that's part and part
of allowing him to have a flexibility around formations. So
I think the formation changes that he made, it was
clearly he said that he was consequating those at halftime,
but he held off. And the real takeaway is that
he's prepared to make changes, you know, a halftime if
(02:13):
they're not working. We've got options on the bench and
he's prepared to use them. So that's great. I think
he's doing really well in that respect, and better than
the previous managers, all the previous manager we've seen down
there for a while.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, I agree. I think we've said quite a few
times so I've certainly said, you know, it seemed that
the other I love Neil Harris, and I will say
that for the rest of my life. I love Neil Harris,
but it sometimes seemed that he was just to sit
on his plan and wouldn't make a change. Kind of
the same with Gary Rout as well. But it's nice
to see that Alex is not free to change.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Agreed, Dave. What were your highers and lows of our
game against him?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
It was brah so loads are took from the game
on Saturday only the first half. We signed off good
for about ten minutes, but minutes were easily worked out
the way we were playing, and they adapted to stop
us plane.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
What we normally do.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
The Boar was mainly played in our half for the
most of the first half and we were defending off
the wave of pressure from Burrough. They pressureized and pressure wized,
but they had no finish, which was lucky for us.
I was disappointed with the referee performance. I thought it
was a bit whistle happy, really gave us a decision,
(03:32):
but then that's about part of the course with us,
the most of the standing decision that it made and
where are set in block ten half twin MINUESBA player
literally threw himself on the ground by the halfway line
and we're given a free kick for that. Nobody knew
I could couldn't work it out so anyway, and the
(03:53):
other lower course was losing Neglee. But at the highs
were first of all the way that Alex Neil used
the substitutes he brought on players that really did affect
the way we played. The second half. We were with
the new changes in the squad. We took the game
(04:16):
to Minever and we looked really dangerous going forward and
we were rewarded by Negla's goal on sixty five minutes,
so that was really good, much better performance and of
course taking three points is always.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
High, absolutely, always a high.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And like you say, it was a great goal from
Negli and this it's just such a shame that he's
going to be missing for the last few games of
the season.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Absolutely, Sam, welcome back. We hope you're doing much better
and recovering well after your operation and it's all going smoothly.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
Yes, well, thank you very much. I mean, yeah, I'm
doing okay. I mean I had the one of the
nurses come round the day to have a look at me,
and so no, but I mean I would like to
say this though, in regards to you know, where I
was the q E two, I mean I was. I
mean I ended up going in there on I mean
it was totally unexpected. I mean, you know, I went
(05:12):
swimming on the Monday morning, and in Monday night I
was in agony. I went to see the doctor the
next day. He said, oh, you've got an earlier problem.
You'll have to go in. I'll give you a letter
for the hospital, go up there the more and take
it back. So that's not exactly what I did. And
I was looking forward to coming out on Saturday morning,
(05:33):
and then they walked in and said no, no, you're
out tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
Right.
Speaker 7 (05:37):
But let me just say people moan about the National
Realth Service, right, and in many cases they've got good
reason to do that, right, they get frustrated and whatever.
But when I was in that hospital, I mean the
way that the staff, not just me but other people,
because you watch, they were absolutely magnificent. Right, they couldn't
do enough for you, right, And some of these people
(06:00):
who keep questioning whether the National Health Service is relevant, well,
let me just I won't go too far, but let
me just say they're away with the fairies. And I'll
put it no stronger than that. No, I'm fine, and
needless to say, I didn't you know, I saw the game,
the eyelights of it when I got back, and clearly
playing Mirlesborough. They've got a top, top manager. And as
(06:21):
I listened to Dave what he just said, like and
the way we were playing in the first half. I mean,
you know, Michael Carrick, he's no mug and he can
work out the way people play. Apparently done that very quickly.
Saturday counted that way, So that's no surprise. What's surprised
with Miles bud is scene. I thought they would be
a lot more up there than they have, and they
(06:42):
seem to wold a bit, which is a surprise. But
we played well and we took our goal well. And
I listened to about the flexibility of different systems, and
that's absolutely right, because you will find in most games today,
at any level, the tactics will be changed to A
three times in the game. That has become the norm.
(07:03):
And I had an idea we was going to win
that game. It was never going to be easy, but
I had an idea we might win the game. So
I proved to be right. Now we're going for another
our game. My view is, see instead of keep talking
about playoffs, right, I don't talk about playoffs, or I
keep saying to people, is this just either keep making
sure we keep winning or at worst drawing right and
(07:26):
then see where it takes us. Right that way, so
I don't mention we played Burrough, we beat them. We've
got blackbirdys try and beat them. If we do what
we don't, let's see where it takes us for Monday.
So let's just see this, Just keep talking about winning
games and then seeing where it takes us. And that's
the way I look at it.
Speaker 1 (07:46):

King Charles at Millwall. He was also spotted as an
AI created action man character with ginger hair on social media.
What next, you may ask, Well, as he's here, we
can all find out. Welcome mill Community Trust CEO Sean.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
Daily, all.
Speaker 11 (10:31):
Evening very quickly. That's not ginger hair, that strawberry bond.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
My mistake. I'm so sorry. So Sean, a new trustee
has joined the trust. Can you tell us a little
bit about Clive Efford MP, who was born in Southern
and educated at Walworth School just like Stan and Southern College.
Can you share some more a little bit about Clive.
Speaker 11 (10:57):
Yeah, So my board of Trustees of I've always wanted
on the board an MP because I think, you know,
they're close to government, they're close to the council and
they're close to telling us what's going on in the area.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Uh. You know.
Speaker 11 (11:11):
Luckily, I've had Simon Hughes and had Boyd Kennedy. Simon
got to the end of nine years so they stepped
down as a trustee and then Roy of course has
gone into government. So I wanted to get an MP
that supported Millwell, had allegiance with the club, knows what
the club is about, part of the family. So Simon
(11:34):
Hughes reached out to us to Clive Effort, and Clive,
you know, I've known him from my days when he
was at Choldham because he was the MP for Elton
and I know he was He's very passionate about a
football club working, working in the local area. So when
I met Clive, explained what we did, you know, and
he had great knowledge around it, and you know, he
(11:56):
was honored to be offered the role of a trustee. So,
but what I wanted to do before we done anything,
I wanted him to come out and see some of
the projects we did. So he came out last week,
spend a day at the Lion Center and then went
out to some pools just to see some of the
stuff we're doing. But great Millwell Fang, you know, knows
(12:16):
the club and just knows how powerful football can be
in the local community.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I saw this stay here evening. Dave, it is you.
You've been busy with the Eastern Sports camps. How did
they go and what was on offer?
Speaker 11 (12:36):
Yeah, so you know, school holidays is quite important to us.
You know, we do a lot of work during school time,
but we focus a lot on the holiday camps around
children on free school meals. So we had two centers
going the Lion Center and Saint Paul's and we did
multi sports at both the center. So it was open
(12:58):
to boys and girls five years old up to sixteen
years old or on free school meals. Just gave them
four hours of activities and that's everything from basketball, cricket, football, painting,
arts and crafts, whatever they wanted to do, and then
of course the club fed them and hot meals. We
did some stuff around healthy eating. We did some planting
(13:20):
plants and getting to know about, you know, how to
plant plants and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
But it was just like you know, it ended today.
Speaker 11 (13:28):
But you know, we had over one hundred kids at
each venue each day, so it's two hundred children, so
it is great time and the weather was good for them.
We I think we only had one bad day with
it rained. It's a good take up on the kids
tithe then yeah, you know, I think Millwell is you
know known is a trusted brand and deliver of a
(13:49):
holiday camp and you know it sells out would be
in hours of us putting it up. And then if
people don't turn up, we have a waiting list and
we ring them and try and get them in. But
it's been great, you know, we've had the Lionesses came
down today to see some of the children giving out
the food, talking to the children that came to the
lion Center, Antiers and Paul. So it's been a great
(14:11):
week a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Now, Hi Sean Steve here. Hi Steve, I've seen that
the trust is now taking over the management of the
Rocky and Righty Center. Could you share details on what
will happen at this venue, how individuals can access the
activities and the starting date for all this commence.
Speaker 11 (14:33):
Yeah, So it's rock and Wright is based at Turnham
Primary School in Lewisham is where Ian Wright went So
about three years ago. Ian wanted to give back to
the local community and he wanted to give it to
his local school. Quite a tough area around there, lack
of facilities around there, and Turnham Primary School was the
(14:54):
school he went to. So he said, look, I want
to build an astro turf for the children to use
during the day at the school, but in the evening
I want to open up to the community. He approached
us at the time and knowing all the work that
we do in the local community and spoke to Steve
Cavanaugh and said, look, you know, I want it run
for the community. I don't want it making a profit
(15:17):
and I don't want to give it to an organization
that's going to try and make loads of money out
of it. I want it just to be accessible. So
Steve said, you know, no problem, the Community Trust will
look after it. It's not worries. We'll open up to
the community. But it's taken all this time to get
all the security bits in place, and had issues with
(15:38):
the trees that are around the area. So literally we've
got the keys handed over to us on the first
of April.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
We've got a.
Speaker 11 (15:47):
Few organizations, few local football teams that want to use it,
but it's literally we were running it from sort of
half hosts four when the children finish at school, right
to ten o'clock every night, and then during the weekends
we'll have it from nine till nine on Saturday and Sunday.
But it's literally for people just to phone in and
(16:07):
book it for a team to train on. We're going
to run some activities down there, some free after evening
sessions and stuff like that down there, but we're going
to put it all up on our website what we're
going to do, but it's going to be open for
clubs to come and book it and use it. And
it's not extortion at the money because every all the
money that's made is going to go back into the school,
(16:28):
so it's not going to be used for us to
make profit or even the school to make profit. It's
literally about accessible for the whole of the community and affordable.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Thing, especially as the money is going back into the school,
because that's got to help locally as well.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Isn't it.
Speaker 11 (16:43):
Yeah, And you know we've got plans that you know,
we couldn't do it this this holiday because we didn't
get the keys so late, but we're going to run
free holiday camps there in the summer.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 11 (16:56):
And we're not in that deep in Lewisham, so it
gives us another venue in that we could work from.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Fantastic.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
Yeah, Sallo shown stand here mate, there are you. I'm
very good, good good. A significant a significant accolade for
both Millwall and the Millwall community. Tr us was the
visit of Excellency Dame Marcella Lybird, Governor General of Saint
Kitts and Nevis. When we face Portsword can you share
(17:27):
with us hardis occurred and what train inspired? Mate?
Speaker 11 (17:32):
Yeah, So we received a letter early March addressed to
the club saying that she was coming over to visit
King Charles and she was a friend of Brian Keene
and what she wanted to do is she wanted to
she was wanting to visit a few football clubs, but
she also wanted to visit a football club that were
(17:52):
using football to engage your local community and address issues.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
In the local area.
Speaker 11 (17:57):
And I think Brian spoke very highly of us, said
the work we do. And I think during that conversation
she spoke to the PFA as well, the Professional Football
Association and said, look, why do not come to Billwell,
come and watch a game, and then I put a
presentation on around the issues we have in the local
(18:18):
area and as a football club, how do we try
and support that and how do we link up with
the councils, how we deal with antisocial behavior, people overweight,
feeding the children, all that sort of stuff like that.
So spent a good couple of hours with her before
the game talking about the work we do. She seemed
(18:40):
very receptive about it. Couldn't believe how powerful football could
be in the local community and I said, you know,
he said, we're a trusted brand. We're trusted in the
local area. We're trusted by the councils and what you know,
we're struggling sometimes the councilors to engage people.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
A football club engages people.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
So it was a great day.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
You know.
Speaker 11 (19:05):
I think it was an absolute honor for the club
to be selected and have that sort of guest come
to us and listen. You know, We've had a lot
of people in England come to us and to see
what we do, but to have someone from overseas come
and sort of recognize the work we do and how
powerful Milwell are in the local community was an absolute honor.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
Yeah. Yeah, okay, I flully understand that.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Hi Sean, it's Steve again.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
Hi Steve, Hi mate.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
The Melbourne Lionesses, Milburne Romans and Melbourne Pride will play
at the Den at the end of the season. This
is a really great boost for those who will play
for these teams. Can you tell the listeners what is
happening and when?
Speaker 11 (19:45):
Yeah, So we try every year to make sure that
we can get as many of our teams to play
at the Den, because you know they represent Millwall in
their own league and play possibly at Saint Paul's or
somewhere different like that. But when there's an opportunity for
the Den to be used, you know, I'm straight on
(20:05):
to Mark Fairbrough at the club and say, lo, I'd
like these to play for the Romans on the twenty
seventh of April. The Pride are through to the plate
final and the Romans are through to the Cup final.
So the Romans have got at two o'clock they're playing
Stonewall and then at five o'clock that's in the Cup final,
(20:27):
and then at five o'clock Pride are playing in the
plate final against Chowham.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
It's going to be a great day.
Speaker 11 (20:36):
I mean pull fhone me up from the Romans and said, look,
we're both in this final. They usually will play at
Hackney Marshes or somewhere like that. What's the chances to
playing at the Den. And you know, for me it's
always like you know, I want you to play at
the Den. I want people to come.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
And see it.
Speaker 11 (20:52):
I want people to enjoy what we enjoy all the time.
So that will happen on the twenty seventh. I'm hoping
to get a good crowd for that, and then the
Lionesses played. They've already played a couple of times this
season at the Den, so they're going to be playing
on the fourth of May. They're going to be playing Ashford.
Kickoff is a one thirty. It's a league game as well,
(21:12):
but again it's a great opportunity for people to come
and see. These teams will represent Millwell within a certain league.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
So I'm really looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
It's good. We noticed that the lion Lioness Academy teams
have received them honors recently, while others have come quite close.
What's happening?
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (21:32):
You know, a few years ago we had what was
called a regional Talent Center with the FA and we
were granted a license for another three years. I'd only
just come into post them and I just felt that
we could do it better without being under the FA,
because you know, I did a scan of the girls
(21:54):
that played for the Lionesses and saw like eighty eighty
five percent of them did not come from Lewisham or Suffolk.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
They came from Kent or Essex.
Speaker 11 (22:03):
And I got to the thing as well, I want
local girls to play for the Lionesses. I want, you know,
I want to recruit from Suffolk and Lewisham and the
surrounded bits. I don't really want girls to play come
from Essex to play for us, So we recruited local
girls to play for it and I thought they would
buy into it more.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
And for the last few years we've been very successful.
You know.
Speaker 11 (22:27):
The under eighteens won the London Cup a couple of
weeks ago. The under Toils got knocked out of the
National finals against Astonvilla last week two one the under
Towels also got to the London Cup final and lost.
But what we are doing is, you know, we're giving
females an opportunity to represent the club, good coaching and
(22:49):
hopefully that will be our feeder for them to go
in and play for the first team at Lionesses. So
I'm hoping to keep that production line going.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yeah, keep it going, Make keep it going.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
It's Dave again, Shawn Hi. Dave Trust annual report showed
growth this year. What does that mean in terms of
what has increased or improved?
Speaker 11 (23:16):
I think when it when it comes to growth and success,
you know, I'll think about numbers, people of staff, we've got,
we've taken on more programs. You know, i'd like to
think that, you know, if you look at things like
football development. We've got Post sixteen, we've got Girls Academy,
we've got player development centers opening, we've got lots of
(23:38):
holiday camps going on, so we've got a nice big
scan of those.
Speaker 7 (23:41):
Sort of things.
Speaker 11 (23:42):
We've got the usual social inclusion projects, you know, anti
social behavior with the police and that sort of thing.
But then we've we've looked at other avenues as well.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
You know, the job center for instance.
Speaker 11 (23:53):
You know that was never on our radar a year ago,
so that sort of grown within the trust pools we've
just signed, you know, we signed a five year contract
with the council to run some pools, so that brings
in more growth and more teams, et cetera. You know,
we've taken on the power Chairs disability program. So for me,
(24:15):
growth is about developing the biggest trust as we can,
making it wider, but being you know, sort of going
to areas that we haven't been in before, you know,
running sites like the Rocky and Rioty, you know, running
some pools, but being a little bit different, a little
bit clever with it. Having a job center, you know,
(24:36):
these are sort of things that these councils and people
that are realizing, well, actually a football club could be
the place where they engage with young people, they engage
with families. Maybe that's where we start putting our eggs
into that basket and seeing what happens. So for me,
it's not about more money we make, but that that's
(24:59):
nice because it's I'm able then to invest it into
more staff, which will make the quality better. But it's
about I think success and growth for us now is
how do more people get to know about the community,
trusting about what the club does in the local community.
And I think once that starts happening, you're naturally going
to grow as an organization.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Yeah, I mean, I mean you.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Want to show Sean, it's a big insight to us
and our listeners to what you're doing. And keep up
the good work. No, I really appreciate that. Thank you
so much.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Sel It's me again, mate, Now, what's all it's about
an AI action main figure of you with ginger Ea.
Now I understand a family member for it might be
in the club shop, when is it arriving is it not?
And just one more suddenly means she say if it arrives,
(25:55):
I mean, it might well be worth considering that. You know,
it could be come Christmas, he could be a stocking filler.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Mate or bonfireite.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
Well, well, I don't know about this negativity. I mean,
let's just start thinking a bit positive, you know, you know,
I mean clearly you're a man of the people.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Well I've got this.
Speaker 11 (26:17):
I've got a media officer called Kai Bennett who decided
there was a craze going on about action figures of staff.
So he decided to make action figures of all our
staff on AI.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
You can't buy them.
Speaker 11 (26:31):
But then he started putting out that he's going to
be in the shop and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
So it was all for a little bit of fun.
Speaker 11 (26:37):
All our staff were made into action figures with things
that they enjoyed. And I think it was just a
little bit of fun from Kai. But very clever, very clever.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
Well, it's funny you mentioned the Kaiser because I have
to say, like, when I first heard about this, I
thought to myself that the fingerprints of the Kaiser is
all over and ah right, when it explains a lot
more then yeah, Well, if you're aging come your he
could become your agent share I mean thing about that.
Speaker 11 (27:09):
Yeah, well, I don't think some of the people were
very impressed in the office when the figures came out
about themselves.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
I won't that happened.
Speaker 11 (27:16):
If you're if you're happy to send the pictures to
Kai of all your lot, I'm sure he can make
you into action figures.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
Well no, we're okay, they say, Kays. You know you
have to be careful. We can at times you can
be a bit of a loose cannon on the deck.
So he has to be kept rained in every now
and again.
Speaker 11 (27:35):
Well, I've got I've got to work out if he
did it in work time, That's what I've got to
work out.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Oh yeah, well last year's imagine that would be a
Sherlotte Holmes would say, a fairly elementary investigation. I would think, yes,
I think so.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Well, sure we you know before that you go, you
have to do Ted's Prediction League. I'm going to ask
you to share your predictions for the three championship scores,
and then at the season's end we'll see who has
the best score predicting skills amongst the guests and hosts. So,
if you could make your first prediction for Blackburn.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Melwall.
Speaker 11 (28:15):
I'd love us to win, and I think we need
to win up there, so I'm going to go for
a two to one to us.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Too one lovely and Darby Luton.
Speaker 11 (28:26):
Oh that's going to be tight, Neil, Neil, I think
I don't think much's going to be given away.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
There, okay.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
And Coventry West Brother.
Speaker 11 (28:38):
I'd like Coventry Oh oh no, uh, I'm going to
go for a draw. I'm going to go for a draw.
We get a win, they get a draw, one a one, okay, well,
fight for the places.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yeah. Absolutely, it's tough out there now, but we're going
to get the win. As always, we really appreciate you
coming on the show, Sean. It's been a pleasure to
hear your updates and we look forward to your return
and hopefully seeing your action figure in the shop at
some point soon. So all the best to you and
(29:17):
your family and the Middle Community Trust team, and we
look forward to having you back on in the future.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Thank you very much, Thanks for your good night everyone.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
I'm your host Bethany Manxlo and with me are the
No One Likes Us Talking team members Steve Warren, Dave
Hearts and stand Godwin. Harvey's Den Cafe is located upstairs
at the Lion Center the home of the mill Community
Trust on Berlina Road, yards from the club shop. It
offers excellent food at very reasonable prices. Now let's hear
(31:06):
from our Elis Bar.
Speaker 13 (31:09):
Hello Alisa and I'm glad to be back talking about Merwell.
I know Maney have watched my videos. Thanks for your
support along the way. It is now time to hear
what all the Merwell teams are up to. Come on therewell.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Paul Loading brings us the Millwall Romans and Pride update.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
Hi, it's Paul Loading at the Millwall Romans with.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
A quick update.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Romans.
Speaker 14 (31:34):
On a break from last week, Pride traveled away to
west Ham Memorial Ground to play Soho Tigers, really really
good result, hatrick from the Mighty John goodyear results finished
eighth Neil looking forward to both teams in action on
the twenty seventh of this month, twenty seventh of vehicle.
We're both playing at the Den two pm kickoff of
(31:57):
Romans versus Stonewall and a five pm kickoff for Pride
versus Cholon. Both in the Cup and played to the final.
And that'd be a really really good day and obviously
massive thanks to Millwall for inviting us to play at
the day and predictions this week after my mighty run
at the table from last week's predictions, Blackburn Millwell, I'm
(32:19):
going to say mill we're going to nick that one nill,
Darby Luton I think Darby might just scrape that one nil,
and Coventry West Brom. I don't really think we want
either of those to win, so I'm going to put
some vibes out there for a one old draw.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Miles Thornton reported on the mill Line s's for Maritime
Radio and.
Speaker 15 (32:39):
The Mill Line SS's were defeated by Ebsflete United on
Sunday at Simple Sports Ground. Absolute started strong and we
denied an early one nil lead after only three minutes.
Dan Carlton played through My Powell, whose shot was excellently
saved by annisky Wright and golf for Millwell. It didn't
take long for an opener, however, as a six minutes
Maddi fara And scored to make it one nil. She
(33:00):
pounced on an error from Shaye Bennett and rounded the
goalkeeper before shooting into an empty net. On eleven minutes,
Olivia Harris played a dangerous wall into the box. Lid
McGregor got on to the end of the cross and
after a ricochet in the area, Kara Davies eventually got
hold of the ball. Just before a fifteen minute mark,
Olivia Harris had a great opportunity to equalize. She found
herself one on one with the goalkeeper, but her shot
(33:21):
was agonizingly wired and went out for a goal kick.
With the game into added on time for the first half,
Absolutely doubled their lead following across into the area and
the ball bobbling around the six yard box, Lydia Willis
pounced and got into the back of the net. Despite
a Meal domination in the second half, the Lionesses couldn't
find the back of the net and the penalty was
awarded to a Fleet on eightieth minute after.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
An apparent hand ball.
Speaker 15 (33:45):
However, Male Powell shot was rattled to crossbar and was
eventually cleared by the Mill defense. That was it and
the three point went back to Great End. Mill Lionesses
next to home on fourth of May when they faced
as Fridge United at the Den for a one thirty
kicks off.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
A week without a midweek game should set us up
well for our trip to Blackburn to face the Rovers.
Speaker 16 (34:05):
Coburn returns to the squad and Tangganga may also return. However,
Crammer has been a presence in Jaffett's absence. Sports journalist
Harry Mail said Blackbon and.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Rovers season has fizzled out and they don't have much
to play for. Rovers have been poor since Valerian Ismail
came in. They have struggled for results and haven't recovered
from John Eustas's exit. They will be relieved to have
won against Luton Town to stop the rock milll must
win this one to make a late charge into the playoffs.
(34:38):
Their hopes of getting added to the top six are
still alive. Journo James Ray added, the Lions just keep
plugging away in their bids to get closed to close
the gap to the top six. It's been a really
impressive run from Alex Neil's side and even if they
come up sure the South Londoners will take real value
from this push well. Despite those few the bookies favorite
(35:01):
a Blackburn win at eleven to eight, a draw at
two to one, and a Mill will win at eleven
to five. It still looks like a pretty tight game.
Just a quick reminder we're making your predictions. You and
I cannot predict the same score. So what do you
think everyone? Are we hoping for a positive result or
could it go either way? So, Dave, I want to
(35:23):
hear your thoughts first. What are your predictions?
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Right?
Speaker 4 (35:28):
My predictions for Millill to win one mill Mdrby Luton
is going to be a one or draw okay, and
West Brom will be Polumtree two one okay?
Speaker 7 (35:50):
Stan Well, if mill will win this game, which stay
can do? Right? I think it's going to be a
close game for all sorts of different reasons. Uh that
I think we will win it by the odd goal.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
So free too okay, Derby, Luter.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
Well, I think Darby will win that. I think they'll
win it, probably by at least two goals. I reckon Well,
I'll go with too nil.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
If we Coventry West Brom.
Speaker 7 (36:22):
I think Coventry West Brom. I think it's going to
be a draw. Shout out to too Okay.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Likewise, I think Neil are going to win, so to
Nil Derby and Luten. I think Darby are going to
win that, and I'm going to go free nil Derby
and I actually think Coventry are going to be best Brom.
I don't want them to so I'm actually going to
go to Neil Conventry.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Okay, right, that leaves me all my backups have now
been taken. So I'm going to go absolutely wild and bold,
and I'm going to go four three Millwall because the
data laughter.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
In history feats yourself.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Yeah, so we're going to get it right.
Speaker 7 (37:16):
Yeah, the right way is right way.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
Around Derby, Luton. I'm going to go with Neil, Neil
draw Great and Coventry West Brom. I'm going to go
Coventry Neil West Brom two. So we've got all of
(37:40):
our predictions in.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
So it's time to hear Nick White of Facebook's Millwall
sicily site. Let's hear what Nick predicts.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Hi everyone, this is Nick Wire.
Speaker 17 (37:49):
My predictions are Blackburn one, mil War two, Derby two, Luton,
Neil and Coventry one West Brom one.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
Thanks, yes, thank you.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Nick, and just a big thank you today for collating
one of our results.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
I say, Paul longon did will last? We've got seven points? Yeah,
the league at the monument is very very tine. I
don't know if you look. Sorry, there's the top four.
We've got two on forty and two on thirty eight. Okay,
so that's the top four places, so it's really tight.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
I mean it's always entertaining, particularly because we can never
have the same prediction, so it's always great. But now
on Monday we take on Norwich and there is plenty
that can change before then. The bookies have set the
odds at five to four for a Millwall victory, two
to one for Norwich and nine to four foot draw.
(38:51):
We definitely owe them for that loss. At Caro wrote,
call it how you see it? There are no rules
this time, Dad.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
First, right, I mean it's going to be one meal
and I reckon the Gnaw's going to score about that, okay,
st well.
Speaker 7 (39:07):
I think it will be two to one. I would
imagine even Itch would be scoring at least one, I
would think, and then if Cobur and then I think
he'd get the other goal, you know, because I might
be that one of them sub Coburn could be sad.
I don't know, but anyway, that's what I reckon. We
can beat him, We beat him to nil.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
And day I will go for three nil.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Oh three nil, Okay, I'm going to go three one,
but I'm going for an Invaliditch Patrick.
Speaker 7 (39:38):
Really, so that's some of that thinking about it, that
might be a realistic score, you know, because they've got
that bloke and a sergeant up front. The Yank. Oh yeah,
he's been fairly prolific this season to be fair. So
if I mean, assuming he's playing on Saturday, I don't
know if he's e whether he's carrying an injury, but
(39:58):
you know he will need he watched if he is well.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Now we've got all that done, let's hear Phil Coleman's
tales from the Brewery.
Speaker 5 (40:06):
Hi.
Speaker 18 (40:07):
Phil Coleman here again with some more towels from the
Brute Room. On Saturday, the twelfth of April, versus Millsbrough,
it was Docker's Day at the day. The day celebrated
the life of Dave Memmitt and the Dockers that have
paved the way for the club. Myself, my brother, Nicki Coleman,
Michael Marx, Darren Morgan, Paul Roberts, Peter Glazier, Tony Kisseller,
(40:27):
Andy Massey, Dave Hockley, Alan Walker, Les Briley, Brian Hall,
Wes Reed, Ian Gale, as well as Dennis Burnett and
my co podcast commentator Debbie Julians, the daughter of Lenn Junians,
along with Men's family and daughter. We're invited to the club.
We're a lovely reception in Harry's Bar, have great photos
on show.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
But the highlight of the day was the halftime walk
around the pitch.
Speaker 18 (40:52):
Alice and the family carried a blue and white wrehethe
and the reception, as you'd expect from Millbour fans, was
absolutely brilliant, but so was that the Borough fans.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
They stood and applauded us unbelievable.
Speaker 18 (41:04):
All the time Men's photo picture was looking over us
from the big screen. I've got a bit emotional, the
hairs on the back of my neck and I'm stood up.
When the borough fans stood up, Alice Blesser was reduced
to tears. We had a great reception for us and
men Men's truly one of our own, and that was
shown on Saturday at that game. The one Nell result
caps off a memorable day and my thanks go to
(41:26):
Chris Bethel and the club Andice they're organizing it all.
A great day, Men will never be forgotten, truly a
great day. During the day, talking to my former teammates,
we talked about old times. We were reminiscing and we
got talking about our wages, and I can safely say
that in nineteen seventy seven I left school and my
apprenticeship wage was sixteen pounds a week. Eighteen months into
(41:50):
my apprenticeship, I signed pro, as did every one of
the members of the youth team. My first professional wage
was a seventy pounds a week. I actually earned more
if I was in the first team and I got
on the pitch and we won the game. I probably
doubled me wages because of the bonus schedule. In the
appearance money, some of the lads were on seventy five,
some of the lads were on eighty, and we got
(42:10):
the calculator out.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
We worked out that if.
Speaker 18 (42:12):
That was in today's money, I'd be earning five hundred
and seventeen pounds a week. Playing for Melwall in what
was then Division two and Division three. We got relegated
in seventy nine. The wage is now compared to them
completely and utterly different. But do you know what, I
think I might have played for nothing. I was a
fan from a youngster. I was on the terraces. I
came up playing as a schoolboy. I played for the
(42:35):
youth team. As a schoolboy. I played for the reserves
as a schoolboy, and all I got played was my
bus fare and praying fair so for an early days.
From the early days, yeah, I was probably playing for
nothing and obviously got serious when I left school and
became a full time apprentice and then a full time professional.
I got thirty five pounds an appearance, and I remember
the love Dave Memmit.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
He said to me, why the hell do you want
to be a sub?
Speaker 18 (42:58):
I didn't have the art telling if I actually was
a Southern got on the pitch, I got another thirty
five quid a week, and then it was thirty pounds
a point. All in all, I've got ninety five pound
if I got on the pitchure and we won the game.
I think if you look at the seventy nine and
eighty season, I think I was substitute about twenty games
that season, and it all helped to fund my living.
What I'd also say is every summer when we finished
(43:20):
in around May, I got myself a job for the
six weeks. The first summer as a proe, I got
myself a job working in a cash and carry warehouse
in the League green lifting furniture into vans. The second year,
I got a job painting someone's house down the end
of one went road near the training ground and picked ings.
And in the third year a good friend of mine
gave me a job as a laborer doing ashelt roofing.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Never again. That was bloody, brutal up and down the ladder,
carrying big pots of hot bitching me in an attah. Yeah,
never again. I wouldn't do that. That was life back then.
He didn't have enough money to make it his meat.
Speaker 18 (43:55):
So the summer season, whilst going for runs in Gunn's
Park and keeping myself fit.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
Those three jobs across those three years. Would I've changed it? Never?
Speaker 18 (44:04):
Great teammates, great support, great coaches, and we'll never forget
the likes of Dave Men, Dean Horrix, Barry Kitchener and
the people that made it all worthwhile. If you was
at Dodger's Day, thanks for your support. Fantastic as ever
and good to see me, my brother Nick and my
brother Steve down there. Not often all three of us
(44:24):
get down to the den that Saturday. Men brought us
together and we're all down there. Thanks again, peeps, speak
so him try for now.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
We will take a break there and here from Harvey Brown, Hi,
Harvey Brown here.
Speaker 19 (44:45):
I am proud of the Lions Food Hub, which is
jointly owned by Kelly and Ellen Webster and they have
been supporting families within our community for over two years
on me all match days. If you would like to
donate to them, they have a match day donation hub
Buddy Essie sixteen at Colblo Lane end of the ground
where they accept any food or money and toiletry donations
(45:07):
if you can help. Any donations will be received with thanks, I'm.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Your host Bethany Mantalo and with me, I've got the
no One likes his talking team of Dave Park, Steve
Warren and Stan Godwin. If you're not attending the den
on a match day, you can leave contributions at the
Millll Community Trust. Aiman spoke with her Excellency day Marcella
L Bird upon her return to Saint Kitts and Navis
this week. Earlier, Shaw and Daily shared insights about her
(45:40):
visit and now we'll have reflections on the mill Community
Trust and mill Football Club.
Speaker 8 (45:46):
Dame Marcella, I'm grateful to you for talking with me
about your visit to mill Football Club and the Millwall
Community Trust. On Saturday, the fifth of April when mill
hosted Portsford Football Club at the Den. It is clear
that as King Charles the Third Representative and Governor General
in some kits and nevis, your visit to Millwall was
(46:09):
a significant honor for both the club and the trust.
How did the visit came? Abert?
Speaker 20 (46:16):
First of all, the real courpuse of the visit was
to attend my investiture as Deam, which was being done
by King Charles the Third that was the first of April.
And then I was in communication with some very close
(46:37):
friends of mine before I left, of course, who were
also very close friend of Brian King, and they said, well,
since you're going to England, we will connect to with.
Speaker 4 (46:49):
Brian and see what happened. So they did so.
Speaker 20 (46:53):
I was in conversation with Brian King prior to living
Saint Kids to go to England, and during those conversations
he said to me, how about coming to Millwell?
Speaker 4 (47:06):
That is so of the Millwell thing.
Speaker 20 (47:07):
Actually started and I was so dilated to the Milwell
it was really an unforgettable experience.
Speaker 8 (47:17):
Well, that's fantastic and great to hear. It's certainly your
appearance there has definitely affected the fans and they recognize
it as a great honor that you did come and
join the club on that day. First of all, your
visit commenced by engaging with the Millwell Community Trust alongside
(47:38):
former millll star who you just mentioned, Brian King and
the trust's chief executive officer Sean Day. What insights did
you gain regarding the work of the trust and what,
if anything might you take away from what you experienced
or learned.
Speaker 20 (47:58):
I was really impressed with the presentation made by mister
Daly about the work of the trust. I thought it
was intense. I thought it was holistic and I could
see the community's benefiting really from the model that you
have there at Millworld Trust.
Speaker 4 (48:20):
In terms of what I would.
Speaker 20 (48:21):
Take away, by the way, I'm a big football fan
of course, and pain think it's a levis and I
followed the English Premier League a lot. I'm not trying
to follow the Championship as well because of Millworld Great
but here in Sentates and Nevis the football clubs they
(48:41):
do some things for the community, but there's no structure
to it, and that's one of the things that I
took away from Milwaund Trust. You can see there's a
definite structure, holistic approach, and that is something I think
we can benefit from here and think it's a news.
Speaker 8 (48:57):
That would be fantastic. I look forward to seeing how
that evolved. It will be really really interesting. You also
went pitch side for photographs and a presentation with mill
director Mark Fairbrother. How was that experience and what did
you receive?
Speaker 4 (49:15):
It was surprising.
Speaker 20 (49:16):
It was touching because I never thought that I would
get something like this as I received the middle one
shirt with my name on Dave Marcella, and it touched
me a lot wonder and so it was really something that,
as I said, I didn't expect, which I was really
(49:38):
happy to receive.
Speaker 8 (49:39):
When you went pitch side, what were your thoughts about
the stadium.
Speaker 20 (49:44):
I thought that it suited its purpose and also when
even a little beyond that, because when I saw some
of the things that we included in it, I was
thoroughly impressed and realized that Mill One definitely things about
not just football, but certainly the communities around the fans,
(50:07):
the children of the fans that take everything into consideration.
So again I was really delighted to see the stadium
and how it's set up and how it's being run.
Speaker 8 (50:20):
That's wonderful. So what was your personal match I experienced.
Speaker 20 (50:24):
Like, as I said, I watch a lot of football
English Premier League in particular football, Well, there's nothing like
being the in person. No, you look at his own
television and you know it seems all right, but in
person it's a completely different experience. And so I was
(50:46):
delighted to be among the supporters and the fans and
the team itself had an excellent.
Speaker 4 (50:51):
Game, maybe because even the end and we brought good luck.
Speaker 8 (50:54):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (50:56):
And I know that good luck.
Speaker 20 (50:59):
Child has continue because you've played too much since we
left them.
Speaker 4 (51:03):
You're want both of them so longly that.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
Continue be a wonderful time.
Speaker 8 (51:09):
About will you return and are there any new developments
anticipated between Millwall and some kids nervous.
Speaker 20 (51:19):
I certainly would love to come back for it was
such an experience for me that certainly would like to
have that experience again. In terms of the developments, not really,
But what I would say is that had some discussion
about probably Millwell playing a visit to Saint Kits and Nevis,
(51:39):
and I.
Speaker 4 (51:40):
Will try my best to keep in touch and to make.
Speaker 20 (51:43):
Sure that that happens once Millwell is willing to come
we add best hosts. You'll find you'll be really happy
to give you warm sunshine and warm hospitality. At the
same time, you're very friendly people and so I'll really
be looking forward to some to make that.
Speaker 8 (52:01):
Let's hope that happens. I'm sure the club would be
delighted to do something along those lines. And I hope
that we can see you once again at the Den,
maybe next season even and that would be absolutely wonderful.
Thank you very much, dam R sir as well, and
(52:22):
I hope that we can speak again.
Speaker 4 (52:26):
Of course, of course, thank you covably.
Speaker 1 (52:29):
And you well positive lady. What did you think of
That's that?
Speaker 7 (52:34):
It was certainly mind blowing. I mean, I have to say,
and we've seen the tea going agrounds the grain all
the time, and I mean we've got the Daily Mail
slaggoners of all the time. Well, I mean there's no
real archip but nevertheless they do. And then we've got
a Dame of the Commonwealth coming down to the ground
fascinating a smack in the eye for the Daily Mail.
(52:54):
I don't know what is so it's really good. I
mean it just shows you that the work it's been
contely putting is it's now receiving the attention of the
great and the good if you like, I mean practically
might be lucky one day and we'll all turn up,
we'll have the King come on the pitch. I mean,
who knows, but you know it puts Millwall in the
(53:14):
and the club and everybody else, concern and supporters right
the center of attention and in the center of action,
so to speak. So no, it's all great.
Speaker 3 (53:24):
And what about you, Dan, Well, just picking up what
stand says? The King was on the pitch as I understand,
Brian was there.
Speaker 7 (53:33):
The big eady Lloyd.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
It's really it's great to see such outside interest in
Millwall and spreading their positive news about both the club
and the Trust. And it's really fantastic for the Trust.
They have such recognition of the work they're doing in
the community and kind of being a model for change everywhere.
We're both locally and someone can actually pick that up
and drop that in to their place, like maybe they'll
(53:58):
pick up some of the things that we're doing over here.
So so really good news and such a positive message
in as you say, stand maybe one in the eye.
Speaker 2 (54:05):
For the press.
Speaker 7 (54:06):
Yeah, absolutely, what about you Dave.
Speaker 4 (54:10):
I was just really impressed with the way she ensues
about Milwaw and what the club offers a community. A
group of what it means to a community had to
have a football club at the heart of that community.
She speaks very well of football in general because she
(54:32):
said she likes football and someone from someone in her
position has come from the Commonwealth to this country to
Milmore our football team. There's a real feavor in that cabin.
We should be so proud of that attraction that we
give to people from other countries and stuff. I mean,
(54:54):
who knows we could have a summer tour to uh
to Ks and Nervis. I think I'll ever a week
out there.
Speaker 1 (55:03):
Absolutely, it will be really interesting to see how this
all pans out with Dane Marcella as she hopes. So
what this space, let's take another break there and listen
to me talk about how you can support the mill
Wall Community Trust. The Millwall Community Trust is something that
I Bethany Magtelow admire for all that it does. The
(55:24):
Trust was established in nineteen eighty five to provide sporting, educational,
social and healthy lifestyle opportunities to the local community in
southern Lewisham, North Kent and the wider community. Its work
is targeted at people of all ages, irrespective of race,
gender or sexual orientation, and runs programs aimed at tackling
(55:45):
social exclusion, racism, knife crime, lack of employment, opportunities for
young people, mental health and disability. The Trust aims to
be a progressive and campaigning charity that makes a difference
to ordinary people's lives. Its work is undeniably essential.
Speaker 4 (56:03):
To the local community.
Speaker 21 (56:05):
Donating to the mill Community Trust is easy. Visit their
website and click on the get involved section. There are
also sponsorship opportunities to support this work. Email Commercial at
mill Community dot org dot uk. I'll say that again,

Our Mirwill fan show is sponsored by GNM Motors of Gravesend,
Honda Dealers, and much more. Thank you,
Bethany Manctelow here, Welcome to our Millwell fan show with
some new voices but the same focus. Just everything Millwell enjoy.
Welcome to the twenty twenty four to twenty five season
of Millwell. No One Likes Us talkins our Millwell fan Show.
I'm your host Bethany manctelow and joining me, I've got
(00:21):
the no One likes his talking team members Dan Godwin,
Steve Warren and Dave Hart.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Not everybody likes them, but they don't care.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Another fantastic win against middles Bronze Saturday without Burrough's Loney
to us Josh Coben, but Neglie is out for the
rest of the season. Another Docor's Day was marked by
a different format, also honoring the late Dave Memet. Phil
Coleman will discuss that later in the show. After the match,
Alex Neil discussed the recent effectiveness of the four four
(00:54):
to two formation and emphasized the need for flexibility within
the Millwall squad and systems of play. Sad What did
you think of Alex Nil's poach about view about four
four to two and the flexibility of squads and systems.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I think Alex has proved how flexible he's prepared to be.
Going with one striker on Saturday didn't prove effective, and
he said himself, I didn't get it right. So putting
too upfront changed that dynamic and we got better and
moved the ball quicker and suited us playing higher up
the pitch. Also, using the two white players to create
opportunities gave us another attacking threat which we didn't really
have in the first half. I think we've got to
(01:31):
remember that four four to two doesn't mean having to
lump it forward. It's just an option. But it is
just that an option. From my perspective, planning higher up
meant that we were stretching the opposition and they had
to play more passes to get it upfield and the
midfield we're kind of shutting them down. And I thought
i'd like to say here that Billy was immense on Saturday.
He seems to have really cemented that spot. Now all
(01:51):
around game is improving week on week and he's thrived
under Alex Neil, and I think that's part and part
of allowing him to have a flexibility around formations. So
I think the formation changes that he made, it was
clearly he said that he was consequating those at halftime,
but he held off. And the real takeaway is that
he's prepared to make changes, you know, a halftime if
(02:13):
they're not working. We've got options on the bench and
he's prepared to use them. So that's great. I think
he's doing really well in that respect, and better than
the previous managers, all the previous manager we've seen down
there for a while.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, I agree. I think we've said quite a few
times so I've certainly said, you know, it seemed that
the other I love Neil Harris, and I will say
that for the rest of my life. I love Neil Harris,
but it sometimes seemed that he was just to sit
on his plan and wouldn't make a change. Kind of
the same with Gary Rout as well. But it's nice
to see that Alex is not free to change.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Agreed, Dave. What were your highers and lows of our
game against him?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
It was brah so loads are took from the game
on Saturday only the first half. We signed off good
for about ten minutes, but minutes were easily worked out
the way we were playing, and they adapted to stop
us plane.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
What we normally do.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
The Boar was mainly played in our half for the
most of the first half and we were defending off
the wave of pressure from Burrough. They pressureized and pressure wized,
but they had no finish, which was lucky for us.
I was disappointed with the referee performance. I thought it
was a bit whistle happy, really gave us a decision,
(03:32):
but then that's about part of the course with us,
the most of the standing decision that it made and
where are set in block ten half twin MINUESBA player
literally threw himself on the ground by the halfway line
and we're given a free kick for that. Nobody knew
I could couldn't work it out so anyway, and the
(03:53):
other lower course was losing Neglee. But at the highs
were first of all the way that Alex Neil used
the substitutes he brought on players that really did affect
the way we played. The second half. We were with
the new changes in the squad. We took the game
(04:16):
to Minever and we looked really dangerous going forward and
we were rewarded by Negla's goal on sixty five minutes,
so that was really good, much better performance and of
course taking three points is always.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
High, absolutely, always a high.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And like you say, it was a great goal from
Negli and this it's just such a shame that he's
going to be missing for the last few games of
the season.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Absolutely, Sam, welcome back. We hope you're doing much better
and recovering well after your operation and it's all going smoothly.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
Yes, well, thank you very much. I mean, yeah, I'm
doing okay. I mean I had the one of the
nurses come round the day to have a look at me,
and so no, but I mean I would like to
say this though, in regards to you know, where I
was the q E two, I mean I was. I
mean I ended up going in there on I mean
it was totally unexpected. I mean, you know, I went
(05:12):
swimming on the Monday morning, and in Monday night I
was in agony. I went to see the doctor the
next day. He said, oh, you've got an earlier problem.
You'll have to go in. I'll give you a letter
for the hospital, go up there the more and take
it back. So that's not exactly what I did. And
I was looking forward to coming out on Saturday morning,
(05:33):
and then they walked in and said no, no, you're
out tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
Right.
Speaker 7 (05:37):
But let me just say people moan about the National
Realth Service, right, and in many cases they've got good
reason to do that, right, they get frustrated and whatever.
But when I was in that hospital, I mean the
way that the staff, not just me but other people,
because you watch, they were absolutely magnificent. Right, they couldn't
do enough for you, right, And some of these people
(06:00):
who keep questioning whether the National Health Service is relevant, well,
let me just I won't go too far, but let
me just say they're away with the fairies. And I'll
put it no stronger than that. No, I'm fine, and
needless to say, I didn't you know, I saw the game,
the eyelights of it when I got back, and clearly
playing Mirlesborough. They've got a top, top manager. And as
(06:21):
I listened to Dave what he just said, like and
the way we were playing in the first half. I mean,
you know, Michael Carrick, he's no mug and he can
work out the way people play. Apparently done that very quickly.
Saturday counted that way, So that's no surprise. What's surprised
with Miles bud is scene. I thought they would be
a lot more up there than they have, and they
(06:42):
seem to wold a bit, which is a surprise. But
we played well and we took our goal well. And
I listened to about the flexibility of different systems, and
that's absolutely right, because you will find in most games today,
at any level, the tactics will be changed to A
three times in the game. That has become the norm.
(07:03):
And I had an idea we was going to win
that game. It was never going to be easy, but
I had an idea we might win the game. So
I proved to be right. Now we're going for another
our game. My view is, see instead of keep talking
about playoffs, right, I don't talk about playoffs, or I
keep saying to people, is this just either keep making
sure we keep winning or at worst drawing right and
(07:26):
then see where it takes us. Right that way, so
I don't mention we played Burrough, we beat them. We've
got blackbirdys try and beat them. If we do what
we don't, let's see where it takes us for Monday.
So let's just see this, Just keep talking about winning
games and then seeing where it takes us. And that's
the way I look at it.
Speaker 1 (07:46):

AI created action man character with ginger hair on social media.
What next, you may ask, Well, as he's here, we
can all find out. Welcome mill Community Trust CEO Sean.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
Daily, all.
Speaker 11 (10:31):
Evening very quickly. That's not ginger hair, that strawberry bond.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
My mistake. I'm so sorry. So Sean, a new trustee
has joined the trust. Can you tell us a little
bit about Clive Efford MP, who was born in Southern
and educated at Walworth School just like Stan and Southern College.
Can you share some more a little bit about Clive.
Speaker 11 (10:57):
Yeah, So my board of Trustees of I've always wanted
on the board an MP because I think, you know,
they're close to government, they're close to the council and
they're close to telling us what's going on in the area.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Uh. You know.
Speaker 11 (11:11):
Luckily, I've had Simon Hughes and had Boyd Kennedy. Simon
got to the end of nine years so they stepped
down as a trustee and then Roy of course has
gone into government. So I wanted to get an MP
that supported Millwell, had allegiance with the club, knows what
the club is about, part of the family. So Simon
(11:34):
Hughes reached out to us to Clive Effort, and Clive,
you know, I've known him from my days when he
was at Choldham because he was the MP for Elton
and I know he was He's very passionate about a
football club working, working in the local area. So when
I met Clive, explained what we did, you know, and
he had great knowledge around it, and you know, he
(11:56):
was honored to be offered the role of a trustee. So,
but what I wanted to do before we done anything,
I wanted him to come out and see some of
the projects we did. So he came out last week,
spend a day at the Lion Center and then went
out to some pools just to see some of the
stuff we're doing. But great Millwell Fang, you know, knows
(12:16):
the club and just knows how powerful football can be
in the local community.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I saw this stay here evening. Dave, it is you.
You've been busy with the Eastern Sports camps. How did
they go and what was on offer?
Speaker 11 (12:36):
Yeah, so you know, school holidays is quite important to us.
You know, we do a lot of work during school time,
but we focus a lot on the holiday camps around
children on free school meals. So we had two centers
going the Lion Center and Saint Paul's and we did
multi sports at both the center. So it was open
(12:58):
to boys and girls five years old up to sixteen
years old or on free school meals. Just gave them
four hours of activities and that's everything from basketball, cricket, football, painting,
arts and crafts, whatever they wanted to do, and then
of course the club fed them and hot meals. We
did some stuff around healthy eating. We did some planting
(13:20):
plants and getting to know about, you know, how to
plant plants and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
But it was just like you know, it ended today.
Speaker 11 (13:28):
But you know, we had over one hundred kids at
each venue each day, so it's two hundred children, so
it is great time and the weather was good for them.
We I think we only had one bad day with
it rained. It's a good take up on the kids
tithe then yeah, you know, I think Millwell is you
know known is a trusted brand and deliver of a
(13:49):
holiday camp and you know it sells out would be
in hours of us putting it up. And then if
people don't turn up, we have a waiting list and
we ring them and try and get them in. But
it's been great, you know, we've had the Lionesses came
down today to see some of the children giving out
the food, talking to the children that came to the
lion Center, Antiers and Paul. So it's been a great
(14:11):
week a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Now, Hi Sean Steve here. Hi Steve, I've seen that
the trust is now taking over the management of the
Rocky and Righty Center. Could you share details on what
will happen at this venue, how individuals can access the
activities and the starting date for all this commence.
Speaker 11 (14:33):
Yeah, So it's rock and Wright is based at Turnham
Primary School in Lewisham is where Ian Wright went So
about three years ago. Ian wanted to give back to
the local community and he wanted to give it to
his local school. Quite a tough area around there, lack
of facilities around there, and Turnham Primary School was the
(14:54):
school he went to. So he said, look, I want
to build an astro turf for the children to use
during the day at the school, but in the evening
I want to open up to the community. He approached
us at the time and knowing all the work that
we do in the local community and spoke to Steve
Cavanaugh and said, look, you know, I want it run
for the community. I don't want it making a profit
(15:17):
and I don't want to give it to an organization
that's going to try and make loads of money out
of it. I want it just to be accessible. So
Steve said, you know, no problem, the Community Trust will
look after it. It's not worries. We'll open up to
the community. But it's taken all this time to get
all the security bits in place, and had issues with
(15:38):
the trees that are around the area. So literally we've
got the keys handed over to us on the first
of April.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
We've got a.
Speaker 11 (15:47):
Few organizations, few local football teams that want to use it,
but it's literally we were running it from sort of
half hosts four when the children finish at school, right
to ten o'clock every night, and then during the weekends
we'll have it from nine till nine on Saturday and Sunday.
But it's literally for people just to phone in and
(16:07):
book it for a team to train on. We're going
to run some activities down there, some free after evening
sessions and stuff like that down there, but we're going
to put it all up on our website what we're
going to do, but it's going to be open for
clubs to come and book it and use it. And
it's not extortion at the money because every all the
money that's made is going to go back into the school,
(16:28):
so it's not going to be used for us to
make profit or even the school to make profit. It's
literally about accessible for the whole of the community and affordable.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Thing, especially as the money is going back into the school,
because that's got to help locally as well.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Isn't it.
Speaker 11 (16:43):
Yeah, And you know we've got plans that you know,
we couldn't do it this this holiday because we didn't
get the keys so late, but we're going to run
free holiday camps there in the summer.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 11 (16:56):
And we're not in that deep in Lewisham, so it
gives us another venue in that we could work from.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Fantastic.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
Yeah, Sallo shown stand here mate, there are you. I'm
very good, good good. A significant a significant accolade for
both Millwall and the Millwall community. Tr us was the
visit of Excellency Dame Marcella Lybird, Governor General of Saint
Kitts and Nevis. When we face Portsword can you share
(17:27):
with us hardis occurred and what train inspired? Mate?
Speaker 11 (17:32):
Yeah, So we received a letter early March addressed to
the club saying that she was coming over to visit
King Charles and she was a friend of Brian Keene
and what she wanted to do is she wanted to
she was wanting to visit a few football clubs, but
she also wanted to visit a football club that were
(17:52):
using football to engage your local community and address issues.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
In the local area.
Speaker 11 (17:57):
And I think Brian spoke very highly of us, said
the work we do. And I think during that conversation
she spoke to the PFA as well, the Professional Football
Association and said, look, why do not come to Billwell,
come and watch a game, and then I put a
presentation on around the issues we have in the local
(18:18):
area and as a football club, how do we try
and support that and how do we link up with
the councils, how we deal with antisocial behavior, people overweight,
feeding the children, all that sort of stuff like that.
So spent a good couple of hours with her before
the game talking about the work we do. She seemed
(18:40):
very receptive about it. Couldn't believe how powerful football could
be in the local community and I said, you know,
he said, we're a trusted brand. We're trusted in the
local area. We're trusted by the councils and what you know,
we're struggling sometimes the councilors to engage people.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
A football club engages people.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
So it was a great day.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
You know.
Speaker 11 (19:05):
I think it was an absolute honor for the club
to be selected and have that sort of guest come
to us and listen. You know, We've had a lot
of people in England come to us and to see
what we do, but to have someone from overseas come
and sort of recognize the work we do and how
powerful Milwell are in the local community was an absolute honor.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
Yeah. Yeah, okay, I flully understand that.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Hi Sean, it's Steve again.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
Hi Steve, Hi mate.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
The Melbourne Lionesses, Milburne Romans and Melbourne Pride will play
at the Den at the end of the season. This
is a really great boost for those who will play
for these teams. Can you tell the listeners what is
happening and when?
Speaker 11 (19:45):
Yeah, So we try every year to make sure that
we can get as many of our teams to play
at the Den, because you know they represent Millwall in
their own league and play possibly at Saint Paul's or
somewhere different like that. But when there's an opportunity for
the Den to be used, you know, I'm straight on
(20:05):
to Mark Fairbrough at the club and say, lo, I'd
like these to play for the Romans on the twenty
seventh of April. The Pride are through to the plate
final and the Romans are through to the Cup final.
So the Romans have got at two o'clock they're playing
Stonewall and then at five o'clock that's in the Cup final,
(20:27):
and then at five o'clock Pride are playing in the
plate final against Chowham.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
It's going to be a great day.
Speaker 11 (20:36):
I mean pull fhone me up from the Romans and said, look,
we're both in this final. They usually will play at
Hackney Marshes or somewhere like that. What's the chances to
playing at the Den. And you know, for me it's
always like you know, I want you to play at
the Den. I want people to come.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
And see it.
Speaker 11 (20:52):
I want people to enjoy what we enjoy all the time.
So that will happen on the twenty seventh. I'm hoping
to get a good crowd for that, and then the
Lionesses played. They've already played a couple of times this
season at the Den, so they're going to be playing
on the fourth of May. They're going to be playing Ashford.
Kickoff is a one thirty. It's a league game as well,
(21:12):
but again it's a great opportunity for people to come
and see. These teams will represent Millwell within a certain league.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
So I'm really looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
It's good. We noticed that the lion Lioness Academy teams
have received them honors recently, while others have come quite close.
What's happening?
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (21:32):
You know, a few years ago we had what was
called a regional Talent Center with the FA and we
were granted a license for another three years. I'd only
just come into post them and I just felt that
we could do it better without being under the FA,
because you know, I did a scan of the girls
(21:54):
that played for the Lionesses and saw like eighty eighty
five percent of them did not come from Lewisham or Suffolk.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
They came from Kent or Essex.
Speaker 11 (22:03):
And I got to the thing as well, I want
local girls to play for the Lionesses. I want, you know,
I want to recruit from Suffolk and Lewisham and the
surrounded bits. I don't really want girls to play come
from Essex to play for us, So we recruited local
girls to play for it and I thought they would
buy into it more.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
And for the last few years we've been very successful.
You know.
Speaker 11 (22:27):
The under eighteens won the London Cup a couple of
weeks ago. The under Toils got knocked out of the
National finals against Astonvilla last week two one the under
Towels also got to the London Cup final and lost.
But what we are doing is, you know, we're giving
females an opportunity to represent the club, good coaching and
(22:49):
hopefully that will be our feeder for them to go
in and play for the first team at Lionesses. So
I'm hoping to keep that production line going.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yeah, keep it going, Make keep it going.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
It's Dave again, Shawn Hi. Dave Trust annual report showed
growth this year. What does that mean in terms of
what has increased or improved?
Speaker 11 (23:16):
I think when it when it comes to growth and success,
you know, I'll think about numbers, people of staff, we've got,
we've taken on more programs. You know, i'd like to
think that, you know, if you look at things like
football development. We've got Post sixteen, we've got Girls Academy,
we've got player development centers opening, we've got lots of
(23:38):
holiday camps going on, so we've got a nice big
scan of those.
Speaker 7 (23:41):
Sort of things.
Speaker 11 (23:42):
We've got the usual social inclusion projects, you know, anti
social behavior with the police and that sort of thing.
But then we've we've looked at other avenues as well.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
You know, the job center for instance.
Speaker 11 (23:53):
You know that was never on our radar a year ago,
so that sort of grown within the trust pools we've
just signed, you know, we signed a five year contract
with the council to run some pools, so that brings
in more growth and more teams, et cetera. You know,
we've taken on the power Chairs disability program. So for me,
(24:15):
growth is about developing the biggest trust as we can,
making it wider, but being you know, sort of going
to areas that we haven't been in before, you know,
running sites like the Rocky and Rioty, you know, running
some pools, but being a little bit different, a little
bit clever with it. Having a job center, you know,
(24:36):
these are sort of things that these councils and people
that are realizing, well, actually a football club could be
the place where they engage with young people, they engage
with families. Maybe that's where we start putting our eggs
into that basket and seeing what happens. So for me,
it's not about more money we make, but that that's
(24:59):
nice because it's I'm able then to invest it into
more staff, which will make the quality better. But it's
about I think success and growth for us now is
how do more people get to know about the community,
trusting about what the club does in the local community.
And I think once that starts happening, you're naturally going
to grow as an organization.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Yeah, I mean, I mean you.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Want to show Sean, it's a big insight to us
and our listeners to what you're doing. And keep up
the good work. No, I really appreciate that. Thank you
so much.
Speaker 7 (25:34):
Sel It's me again, mate, Now, what's all it's about
an AI action main figure of you with ginger Ea.
Now I understand a family member for it might be
in the club shop, when is it arriving is it not?
And just one more suddenly means she say if it arrives,
(25:55):
I mean, it might well be worth considering that. You know,
it could be come Christmas, he could be a stocking filler.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Mate or bonfireite.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
Well, well, I don't know about this negativity. I mean,
let's just start thinking a bit positive, you know, you know,
I mean clearly you're a man of the people.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Well I've got this.
Speaker 11 (26:17):
I've got a media officer called Kai Bennett who decided
there was a craze going on about action figures of staff.
So he decided to make action figures of all our
staff on AI.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
You can't buy them.
Speaker 11 (26:31):
But then he started putting out that he's going to
be in the shop and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
So it was all for a little bit of fun.
Speaker 11 (26:37):
All our staff were made into action figures with things
that they enjoyed. And I think it was just a
little bit of fun from Kai. But very clever, very clever.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
Well, it's funny you mentioned the Kaiser because I have
to say, like, when I first heard about this, I
thought to myself that the fingerprints of the Kaiser is
all over and ah right, when it explains a lot
more then yeah, Well, if you're aging come your he
could become your agent share I mean thing about that.
Speaker 11 (27:09):
Yeah, well, I don't think some of the people were
very impressed in the office when the figures came out
about themselves.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
I won't that happened.
Speaker 11 (27:16):
If you're if you're happy to send the pictures to
Kai of all your lot, I'm sure he can make
you into action figures.
Speaker 7 (27:22):
Well no, we're okay, they say, Kays. You know you
have to be careful. We can at times you can
be a bit of a loose cannon on the deck.
So he has to be kept rained in every now
and again.
Speaker 11 (27:35):
Well, I've got I've got to work out if he
did it in work time, That's what I've got to
work out.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Oh yeah, well last year's imagine that would be a
Sherlotte Holmes would say, a fairly elementary investigation. I would think, yes,
I think so.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Well, sure we you know before that you go, you
have to do Ted's Prediction League. I'm going to ask
you to share your predictions for the three championship scores,
and then at the season's end we'll see who has
the best score predicting skills amongst the guests and hosts. So,
if you could make your first prediction for Blackburn.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Melwall.
Speaker 11 (28:15):
I'd love us to win, and I think we need
to win up there, so I'm going to go for
a two to one to us.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Too one lovely and Darby Luton.
Speaker 11 (28:26):
Oh that's going to be tight, Neil, Neil, I think
I don't think much's going to be given away.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
There, okay.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
And Coventry West Brother.
Speaker 11 (28:38):
I'd like Coventry Oh oh no, uh, I'm going to
go for a draw. I'm going to go for a draw.
We get a win, they get a draw, one a one, okay, well,
fight for the places.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yeah. Absolutely, it's tough out there now, but we're going
to get the win. As always, we really appreciate you
coming on the show, Sean. It's been a pleasure to
hear your updates and we look forward to your return
and hopefully seeing your action figure in the shop at
some point soon. So all the best to you and
(29:17):
your family and the Middle Community Trust team, and we
look forward to having you back on in the future.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Thank you very much, Thanks for your good night everyone.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
I'm your host Bethany Manxlo and with me are the
No One Likes Us Talking team members Steve Warren, Dave
Hearts and stand Godwin. Harvey's Den Cafe is located upstairs
at the Lion Center the home of the mill Community
Trust on Berlina Road, yards from the club shop. It
offers excellent food at very reasonable prices. Now let's hear
(31:06):
from our Elis Bar.
Speaker 13 (31:09):
Hello Alisa and I'm glad to be back talking about Merwell.
I know Maney have watched my videos. Thanks for your
support along the way. It is now time to hear
what all the Merwell teams are up to. Come on therewell.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Paul Loading brings us the Millwall Romans and Pride update.
Speaker 7 (31:31):
Hi, it's Paul Loading at the Millwall Romans with.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
A quick update.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Romans.
Speaker 14 (31:34):
On a break from last week, Pride traveled away to
west Ham Memorial Ground to play Soho Tigers, really really
good result, hatrick from the Mighty John goodyear results finished
eighth Neil looking forward to both teams in action on
the twenty seventh of this month, twenty seventh of vehicle.
We're both playing at the Den two pm kickoff of
(31:57):
Romans versus Stonewall and a five pm kickoff for Pride
versus Cholon. Both in the Cup and played to the final.
And that'd be a really really good day and obviously
massive thanks to Millwall for inviting us to play at
the day and predictions this week after my mighty run
at the table from last week's predictions, Blackburn Millwell, I'm
(32:19):
going to say mill we're going to nick that one nill,
Darby Luton I think Darby might just scrape that one nil,
and Coventry West Brom. I don't really think we want
either of those to win, so I'm going to put
some vibes out there for a one old draw.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Miles Thornton reported on the mill Line s's for Maritime
Radio and.
Speaker 15 (32:39):
The Mill Line SS's were defeated by Ebsflete United on
Sunday at Simple Sports Ground. Absolute started strong and we
denied an early one nil lead after only three minutes.
Dan Carlton played through My Powell, whose shot was excellently
saved by annisky Wright and golf for Millwell. It didn't
take long for an opener, however, as a six minutes
Maddi fara And scored to make it one nil. She
(33:00):
pounced on an error from Shaye Bennett and rounded the
goalkeeper before shooting into an empty net. On eleven minutes,
Olivia Harris played a dangerous wall into the box. Lid
McGregor got on to the end of the cross and
after a ricochet in the area, Kara Davies eventually got
hold of the ball. Just before a fifteen minute mark,
Olivia Harris had a great opportunity to equalize. She found
herself one on one with the goalkeeper, but her shot
(33:21):
was agonizingly wired and went out for a goal kick.
With the game into added on time for the first half,
Absolutely doubled their lead following across into the area and
the ball bobbling around the six yard box, Lydia Willis
pounced and got into the back of the net. Despite
a Meal domination in the second half, the Lionesses couldn't
find the back of the net and the penalty was
awarded to a Fleet on eightieth minute after.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
An apparent hand ball.
Speaker 15 (33:45):
However, Male Powell shot was rattled to crossbar and was
eventually cleared by the Mill defense. That was it and
the three point went back to Great End. Mill Lionesses
next to home on fourth of May when they faced
as Fridge United at the Den for a one thirty
kicks off.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
A week without a midweek game should set us up
well for our trip to Blackburn to face the Rovers.
Speaker 16 (34:05):
Coburn returns to the squad and Tangganga may also return. However,
Crammer has been a presence in Jaffett's absence. Sports journalist
Harry Mail said Blackbon and.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Rovers season has fizzled out and they don't have much
to play for. Rovers have been poor since Valerian Ismail
came in. They have struggled for results and haven't recovered
from John Eustas's exit. They will be relieved to have
won against Luton Town to stop the rock milll must
win this one to make a late charge into the playoffs.
(34:38):
Their hopes of getting added to the top six are
still alive. Journo James Ray added, the Lions just keep
plugging away in their bids to get closed to close
the gap to the top six. It's been a really
impressive run from Alex Neil's side and even if they
come up sure the South Londoners will take real value
from this push well. Despite those few the bookies favorite
(35:01):
a Blackburn win at eleven to eight, a draw at
two to one, and a Mill will win at eleven
to five. It still looks like a pretty tight game.
Just a quick reminder we're making your predictions. You and
I cannot predict the same score. So what do you
think everyone? Are we hoping for a positive result or
could it go either way? So, Dave, I want to
(35:23):
hear your thoughts first. What are your predictions?
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Right?
Speaker 4 (35:28):
My predictions for Millill to win one mill Mdrby Luton
is going to be a one or draw okay, and
West Brom will be Polumtree two one okay?
Speaker 7 (35:50):
Stan Well, if mill will win this game, which stay
can do? Right? I think it's going to be a
close game for all sorts of different reasons. Uh that
I think we will win it by the odd goal.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
So free too okay, Derby, Luter.
Speaker 7 (36:10):
Well, I think Darby will win that. I think they'll
win it, probably by at least two goals. I reckon Well,
I'll go with too nil.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
If we Coventry West Brom.
Speaker 7 (36:22):
I think Coventry West Brom. I think it's going to
be a draw. Shout out to too Okay.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Likewise, I think Neil are going to win, so to
Nil Derby and Luten. I think Darby are going to
win that, and I'm going to go free nil Derby
and I actually think Coventry are going to be best Brom.
I don't want them to so I'm actually going to
go to Neil Conventry.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Okay, right, that leaves me all my backups have now
been taken. So I'm going to go absolutely wild and bold,
and I'm going to go four three Millwall because the
data laughter.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
In history feats yourself.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Yeah, so we're going to get it right.
Speaker 7 (37:16):
Yeah, the right way is right way.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
Around Derby, Luton. I'm going to go with Neil, Neil
draw Great and Coventry West Brom. I'm going to go
Coventry Neil West Brom two. So we've got all of
(37:40):
our predictions in.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
So it's time to hear Nick White of Facebook's Millwall
sicily site. Let's hear what Nick predicts.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Hi everyone, this is Nick Wire.
Speaker 17 (37:49):
My predictions are Blackburn one, mil War two, Derby two, Luton,
Neil and Coventry one West Brom one.
Speaker 4 (37:59):
Thanks, yes, thank you.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Nick, and just a big thank you today for collating
one of our results.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
I say, Paul longon did will last? We've got seven points? Yeah,
the league at the monument is very very tine. I
don't know if you look. Sorry, there's the top four.
We've got two on forty and two on thirty eight. Okay,
so that's the top four places, so it's really tight.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
I mean it's always entertaining, particularly because we can never
have the same prediction, so it's always great. But now
on Monday we take on Norwich and there is plenty
that can change before then. The bookies have set the
odds at five to four for a Millwall victory, two
to one for Norwich and nine to four foot draw.
(38:51):
We definitely owe them for that loss. At Caro wrote,
call it how you see it? There are no rules
this time, Dad.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
First, right, I mean it's going to be one meal
and I reckon the Gnaw's going to score about that, okay,
st well.
Speaker 7 (39:07):
I think it will be two to one. I would
imagine even Itch would be scoring at least one, I
would think, and then if Cobur and then I think
he'd get the other goal, you know, because I might
be that one of them sub Coburn could be sad.
I don't know, but anyway, that's what I reckon. We
can beat him, We beat him to nil.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
And day I will go for three nil.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Oh three nil, Okay, I'm going to go three one,
but I'm going for an Invaliditch Patrick.
Speaker 7 (39:38):
Really, so that's some of that thinking about it, that
might be a realistic score, you know, because they've got
that bloke and a sergeant up front. The Yank. Oh yeah,
he's been fairly prolific this season to be fair. So
if I mean, assuming he's playing on Saturday, I don't
know if he's e whether he's carrying an injury, but
(39:58):
you know he will need he watched if he is well.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Now we've got all that done, let's hear Phil Coleman's
tales from the Brewery.
Speaker 5 (40:06):
Hi.
Speaker 18 (40:07):
Phil Coleman here again with some more towels from the
Brute Room. On Saturday, the twelfth of April, versus Millsbrough,
it was Docker's Day at the day. The day celebrated
the life of Dave Memmitt and the Dockers that have
paved the way for the club. Myself, my brother, Nicki Coleman,
Michael Marx, Darren Morgan, Paul Roberts, Peter Glazier, Tony Kisseller,
(40:27):
Andy Massey, Dave Hockley, Alan Walker, Les Briley, Brian Hall,
Wes Reed, Ian Gale, as well as Dennis Burnett and
my co podcast commentator Debbie Julians, the daughter of Lenn Junians,
along with Men's family and daughter. We're invited to the club.
We're a lovely reception in Harry's Bar, have great photos
on show.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
But the highlight of the day was the halftime walk
around the pitch.
Speaker 18 (40:52):
Alice and the family carried a blue and white wrehethe
and the reception, as you'd expect from Millbour fans, was
absolutely brilliant, but so was that the Borough fans.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
They stood and applauded us unbelievable.
Speaker 18 (41:04):
All the time Men's photo picture was looking over us
from the big screen. I've got a bit emotional, the
hairs on the back of my neck and I'm stood up.
When the borough fans stood up, Alice Blesser was reduced
to tears. We had a great reception for us and
men Men's truly one of our own, and that was
shown on Saturday at that game. The one Nell result
caps off a memorable day and my thanks go to
(41:26):
Chris Bethel and the club Andice they're organizing it all.
A great day, Men will never be forgotten, truly a
great day. During the day, talking to my former teammates,
we talked about old times. We were reminiscing and we
got talking about our wages, and I can safely say
that in nineteen seventy seven I left school and my
apprenticeship wage was sixteen pounds a week. Eighteen months into
(41:50):
my apprenticeship, I signed pro, as did every one of
the members of the youth team. My first professional wage
was a seventy pounds a week. I actually earned more
if I was in the first team and I got
on the pitch and we won the game. I probably
doubled me wages because of the bonus schedule. In the
appearance money, some of the lads were on seventy five,
some of the lads were on eighty, and we got
(42:10):
the calculator out.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
We worked out that if.
Speaker 18 (42:12):
That was in today's money, I'd be earning five hundred
and seventeen pounds a week. Playing for Melwall in what
was then Division two and Division three. We got relegated
in seventy nine. The wage is now compared to them
completely and utterly different. But do you know what, I
think I might have played for nothing. I was a
fan from a youngster. I was on the terraces. I
came up playing as a schoolboy. I played for the
(42:35):
youth team. As a schoolboy. I played for the reserves
as a schoolboy, and all I got played was my
bus fare and praying fair so for an early days.
From the early days, yeah, I was probably playing for
nothing and obviously got serious when I left school and
became a full time apprentice and then a full time professional.
I got thirty five pounds an appearance, and I remember
the love Dave Memmit.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
He said to me, why the hell do you want
to be a sub?
Speaker 18 (42:58):
I didn't have the art telling if I actually was
a Southern got on the pitch, I got another thirty
five quid a week, and then it was thirty pounds
a point. All in all, I've got ninety five pound
if I got on the pitchure and we won the game.
I think if you look at the seventy nine and
eighty season, I think I was substitute about twenty games
that season, and it all helped to fund my living.
What I'd also say is every summer when we finished
(43:20):
in around May, I got myself a job for the
six weeks. The first summer as a proe, I got
myself a job working in a cash and carry warehouse
in the League green lifting furniture into vans. The second year,
I got a job painting someone's house down the end
of one went road near the training ground and picked ings.
And in the third year a good friend of mine
gave me a job as a laborer doing ashelt roofing.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Never again. That was bloody, brutal up and down the ladder,
carrying big pots of hot bitching me in an attah. Yeah,
never again. I wouldn't do that. That was life back then.
He didn't have enough money to make it his meat.
Speaker 18 (43:55):
So the summer season, whilst going for runs in Gunn's
Park and keeping myself fit.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
Those three jobs across those three years. Would I've changed it? Never?
Speaker 18 (44:04):
Great teammates, great support, great coaches, and we'll never forget
the likes of Dave Men, Dean Horrix, Barry Kitchener and
the people that made it all worthwhile. If you was
at Dodger's Day, thanks for your support. Fantastic as ever
and good to see me, my brother Nick and my

together and we're all down there. Thanks again, peeps, speak
so him try for now.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
We will take a break there and here from Harvey Brown, Hi,
Harvey Brown here.
Speaker 19 (44:45):
I am proud of the Lions Food Hub, which is
jointly owned by Kelly and Ellen Webster and they have
been supporting families within our community for over two years
on me all match days. If you would like to
donate to them, they have a match day donation hub
Buddy Essie sixteen at Colblo Lane end of the ground
where they accept any food or money and toiletry donations
(45:07):
if you can help. Any donations will be received with thanks, I'm.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Your host Bethany Mantalo and with me, I've got the
no One likes his talking team of Dave Park, Steve
Warren and Stan Godwin. If you're not attending the den
on a match day, you can leave contributions at the
Millll Community Trust. Aiman spoke with her Excellency day Marcella
L Bird upon her return to Saint Kitts and Navis
this week. Earlier, Shaw and Daily shared insights about her
(45:40):
visit and now we'll have reflections on the mill Community
Trust and mill Football Club.
Speaker 8 (45:46):
Dame Marcella, I'm grateful to you for talking with me
about your visit to mill Football Club and the Millwall
Community Trust. On Saturday, the fifth of April when mill
hosted Portsford Football Club at the Den. It is clear
that as King Charles the Third Representative and Governor General
in some kits and nevis, your visit to Millwall was
(46:09):
a significant honor for both the club and the trust.
How did the visit came? Abert?
Speaker 20 (46:16):
First of all, the real courpuse of the visit was
to attend my investiture as Deam, which was being done
by King Charles the Third that was the first of April.
And then I was in communication with some very close
(46:37):
friends of mine before I left, of course, who were
also very close friend of Brian King, and they said, well,
since you're going to England, we will connect to with.
Speaker 4 (46:49):
Brian and see what happened. So they did so.
Speaker 20 (46:53):
I was in conversation with Brian King prior to living
Saint Kids to go to England, and during those conversations
he said to me, how about coming to Millwell?
Speaker 4 (47:06):
That is so of the Millwell thing.
Speaker 20 (47:07):
Actually started and I was so dilated to the Milwell
it was really an unforgettable experience.
Speaker 8 (47:17):
Well, that's fantastic and great to hear. It's certainly your
appearance there has definitely affected the fans and they recognize
it as a great honor that you did come and
join the club on that day. First of all, your
visit commenced by engaging with the Millwell Community Trust alongside
(47:38):
former millll star who you just mentioned, Brian King and
the trust's chief executive officer Sean Day. What insights did
you gain regarding the work of the trust and what,
if anything might you take away from what you experienced
or learned.
Speaker 20 (47:58):
I was really impressed with the presentation made by mister
Daly about the work of the trust. I thought it
was intense. I thought it was holistic and I could
see the community's benefiting really from the model that you
have there at Millworld Trust.
Speaker 4 (48:20):
In terms of what I would.
Speaker 20 (48:21):
Take away, by the way, I'm a big football fan
of course, and pain think it's a levis and I
followed the English Premier League a lot. I'm not trying
to follow the Championship as well because of Millworld Great
but here in Sentates and Nevis the football clubs they
(48:41):
do some things for the community, but there's no structure
to it, and that's one of the things that I
took away from Milwaund Trust. You can see there's a
definite structure, holistic approach, and that is something I think
we can benefit from here and think it's a news.
Speaker 8 (48:57):
That would be fantastic. I look forward to seeing how
that evolved. It will be really really interesting. You also
went pitch side for photographs and a presentation with mill
director Mark Fairbrother. How was that experience and what did
you receive?
Speaker 4 (49:15):
It was surprising.
Speaker 20 (49:16):
It was touching because I never thought that I would
get something like this as I received the middle one
shirt with my name on Dave Marcella, and it touched
me a lot wonder and so it was really something that,
as I said, I didn't expect, which I was really
(49:38):
happy to receive.
Speaker 8 (49:39):
When you went pitch side, what were your thoughts about
the stadium.
Speaker 20 (49:44):
I thought that it suited its purpose and also when
even a little beyond that, because when I saw some
of the things that we included in it, I was
thoroughly impressed and realized that Mill One definitely things about
not just football, but certainly the communities around the fans,
(50:07):
the children of the fans that take everything into consideration.
So again I was really delighted to see the stadium
and how it's set up and how it's being run.
Speaker 8 (50:20):
That's wonderful. So what was your personal match I experienced.
Speaker 20 (50:24):
Like, as I said, I watch a lot of football
English Premier League in particular football, Well, there's nothing like
being the in person. No, you look at his own
television and you know it seems all right, but in
person it's a completely different experience. And so I was
(50:46):
delighted to be among the supporters and the fans and
the team itself had an excellent.
Speaker 4 (50:51):
Game, maybe because even the end and we brought good luck.
Speaker 8 (50:54):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (50:56):
And I know that good luck.
Speaker 20 (50:59):
Child has continue because you've played too much since we
left them.
Speaker 4 (51:03):
You're want both of them so longly that.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
Continue be a wonderful time.
Speaker 8 (51:09):
About will you return and are there any new developments
anticipated between Millwall and some kids nervous.
Speaker 20 (51:19):
I certainly would love to come back for it was
such an experience for me that certainly would like to
have that experience again. In terms of the developments, not really,
But what I would say is that had some discussion
about probably Millwell playing a visit to Saint Kits and Nevis,
(51:39):
and I.
Speaker 4 (51:40):
Will try my best to keep in touch and to make.
Speaker 20 (51:43):
Sure that that happens once Millwell is willing to come
we add best hosts. You'll find you'll be really happy
to give you warm sunshine and warm hospitality. At the
same time, you're very friendly people and so I'll really
be looking forward to some to make that.
Speaker 8 (52:01):
Let's hope that happens. I'm sure the club would be
delighted to do something along those lines. And I hope
that we can see you once again at the Den,
maybe next season even and that would be absolutely wonderful.
Thank you very much, dam R sir as well, and
(52:22):
I hope that we can speak again.
Speaker 4 (52:26):
Of course, of course, thank you covably.
Speaker 1 (52:29):
And you well positive lady. What did you think of
That's that?
Speaker 7 (52:34):
It was certainly mind blowing. I mean, I have to say,
and we've seen the tea going agrounds the grain all
the time, and I mean we've got the Daily Mail
slaggoners of all the time. Well, I mean there's no
real archip but nevertheless they do. And then we've got
a Dame of the Commonwealth coming down to the ground
fascinating a smack in the eye for the Daily Mail.
(52:54):
I don't know what is so it's really good. I
mean it just shows you that the work it's been
contely putting is it's now receiving the attention of the
great and the good if you like, I mean practically
might be lucky one day and we'll all turn up,
we'll have the King come on the pitch. I mean,
who knows, but you know it puts Millwall in the
(53:14):
and the club and everybody else, concern and supporters right
the center of attention and in the center of action,
so to speak. So no, it's all great.
Speaker 3 (53:24):
And what about you, Dan, Well, just picking up what
stand says? The King was on the pitch as I understand,
Brian was there.
Speaker 7 (53:33):
The big eady Lloyd.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
It's really it's great to see such outside interest in
Millwall and spreading their positive news about both the club
and the Trust. And it's really fantastic for the Trust.
They have such recognition of the work they're doing in
the community and kind of being a model for change everywhere.
We're both locally and someone can actually pick that up
and drop that in to their place, like maybe they'll
(53:58):
pick up some of the things that we're doing over here.
So so really good news and such a positive message
in as you say, stand maybe one in the eye.
Speaker 2 (54:05):
For the press.
Speaker 7 (54:06):
Yeah, absolutely, what about you Dave.
Speaker 4 (54:10):
I was just really impressed with the way she ensues
about Milwaw and what the club offers a community. A
group of what it means to a community had to
have a football club at the heart of that community.
She speaks very well of football in general because she
(54:32):
said she likes football and someone from someone in her
position has come from the Commonwealth to this country to
Milmore our football team. There's a real feavor in that cabin.
We should be so proud of that attraction that we
give to people from other countries and stuff. I mean,
(54:54):
who knows we could have a summer tour to uh
to Ks and Nervis. I think I'll ever a week
out there.
Speaker 1 (55:03):
Absolutely, it will be really interesting to see how this
all pans out with Dane Marcella as she hopes. So
what this space, let's take another break there and listen
to me talk about how you can support the mill
Wall Community Trust. The Millwall Community Trust is something that
I Bethany Magtelow admire for all that it does. The

Trust was established in nineteen eighty five to provide sporting, educational,
social and healthy lifestyle opportunities to the local community in

gender or sexual orientation, and runs programs aimed at tackling
(55:45):
social exclusion, racism, knife crime, lack of employment, opportunities for
young people, mental health and disability. The Trust aims to
be a progressive and campaigning charity that makes a difference
to ordinary people's lives. Its work is undeniably essential.
