Millwall vs West Ham Preview | The DOCKERS DERBY IS BACK

Four miles apart. Fourteen years since their last meeting. A rivalry stretching back more than 120 years. Millwall against West Ham is finally back. Mike, Gary and Rufus preview the return of the Dockers Derby as West Ham prepare to visit The Den for the first time. They are joined by Hammers supporter Bruno to explore the history, hostility and significance of one of English football’s most famous rivalries. For Rufus, this will be the first opportunity to experience Millwall against West Ham in person. For older supporters, the fixture brings back memories of dramatic matches, controversial refereeing decisions and the famous 4–1 “Mother’s Day Massacre.” West Ham have never won at the New Den, but they arrive following a devastating 6–1 victory against Wrexham. Is this the strongest possible preparation for the Hammers, or can the atmosphere and intensity of The Den completely change the contest? The panel discusses the rivalry’s origins among competing dockworkers on the Thames, whether Tottenham have overtaken Millwall as West Ham’s principal rival and how much this fixture still means after such a long absence. There is also an honest discussion about safety and policing. Both sets of supporters want an intense atmosphere inside the stadium, but everyone attending must be able to enjoy the occasion and return home safely. Can Millwall protect their unbeaten home record against West Ham? Will the players understand exactly what this fixture means?
