    The white tarpaulin has been in place in the JS since after the Millwall game. Probably to allow the away team disabled supporters to be able to see

    Also saw the large amounts of Cheleea being admitted via the front if the JS presumably as too many were outside before the game and the kick.off could not be delayed 
    Makes sense, but if this was the case, was there any extra risk in this, e.g. potential contact with home fans?

    A crowd of 26,475 at The Valley last night for the visit of Chelsea in the FA Cup

    Charlton’s biggest attendance at home since they played Hartlepool United back on the 5th May 2012 when 26,749 was in attendance for the last home game of that season.

    The attendance probably comes down to policy. When it was announced as capacity in the PL it was never the case that every ticket had been issued. For example the media gantry was counted and that has never been full. Club used to take the view that if something couldn’t be issued in these circumstances it was counted anyway. Whatever you think of that, it probably isn’t applied now.

    I don’t take official attendances seriously because I know they are invariably well off, but cup games are more accurate than league (because comps are restricted) and that was probably as full last night as you are going to get. I doubt you’d want to count the gantry when you have to account for every ticket.
