Ahead of Saturday's Coca-Cola League One game between Rovers and Millwall at The New Den, Deadly Submarine took time out to interview Lions' Fan Steve Bond about his team's progress so far this season and how he thinks Saturday's match with Rovers will go.

What is you name and for how long have you supported Millwall?

My name is Steve Bond and I've followed the Lions for 35 years.

ABOUT YOUR CLUB

What is your most memorable Millwall moment or match?

Reaching the FA Cup final and I know we lost to Manchester United but the day was great thousands of Millwall fans down there.  A dream that I throught would never happen!!

Your worst moment supporting Millwall?

Millwall v Ipswich  in the FA cup tie at the old Den in the 70s, we lost 6-1  and there was major trouble and after the game the Den was closed for a number of games.  A terrible day for the Club and the real fans.

In your eyes who is Millwall's All-Time Greatest Player and why?

Barry Kitchner.................a strong tackling player but a true Millwall player who even turned down a move to liverpool to remain at his beloved Millwall in the 1970s.

Taxi For? (To which Player would you pay a Taxi Fare to leave the Club?)

None at the moment but we did have a german player some time ago..................Eu Funks a nightmare player and he didn't last long.

Which Millwall player can do most damage to Tranmere Rovers in the match?

Martin if he plays - a nippy player and quite a bit of pace if he is given room.

Is Kenny Jackett the right man for the job at The New Den?

I think so he has been around football for a long time.  He expects 100% from players and makes very good use of the limited resources at the Club.

Any Millwall Chants we should try to listen out for at the game?

"Let em all come down to the Den" - normally played before the kick off and each time the lions score a goal (you may hear 4 times then when we play you!!)

"No one likes us - we dont care"

"Miiiiwalllllllllll"..........echo sound around the ground.

EDITORS NOTE: That last chant really is worth hearing at the New Den it's amazing!!!

LEAGUE ONE VIEWS

What is your Top Two Prediction for League One this season?

Top two I feel is Leicester City and and MK Dons.   Leicester do not look like they are going to fade and MK Dons are a good all round team and they beat us 4 0 at the Den which is not a easy feat.

Play-Off Winners?

I like us to win it  but we will have to wait and see.

Your tip for the Bottom Four places?

Crewe look doomed and I would also say Hereford, Brighton and Swindon.

THE TWO CLUBS

Where do you think Millwall will finish this season?

I hope in the play-off or second place if we keep our good home record.

Do you think Tranmere will be Promoted/Relegated from League One and why?

Tranmere are not too far away from the play off poll so I don't see any reason why they should not be there at the end.

What is your Prediction for the game between the teams?  Millwall battered us at Prenton Park and are arguably the best side I have seen this season (having seen all our games so far).

I hope for a Millwall win and if Rovers come to defend and hope for the counter attacks they will lose.  I have seen so many teams come to the Den for a point  and try to defend.If Rovers play and go at Millwall they will do well.  2-1 to Millwall!

I am travelling to the New Den by train for the first time.  Any advice for what a lot of fans see as an often uncomfortable situation?

If you like a beer have a drink around london Bridge Station, South Bermondsey Station is only five minutes from London Bridge  and as you come out the of the Station there is a footpath for away fans only (manned by the Police) - this path takes you right into the away end.

Millwall is not as bad as it used to be for away fans but you still have to be careful and the footpath and train Station are well Policed.

Any other comments to add?

I hope you have a good day out and good luck for the rest of the season after Saturday  17th !!!  Regards!

Thanks Steve for your time and good luck to Millwall after Saturday and next season too!
