There’s a clue to longevity in Valley Gold numbers if anyone cares to look.0

3 times in the last dozen years I have moved and enjoyed all my time at each move,remember, its only your seat to loan for each season,not yours to own1

Renewed last week, as someone said I wil always whatever division we are in. I am sure the people around me will be delighted.
Maybe conflict with ebbsfleet if we're both in conference south.0 -

You joke but in ciu clubs as people die u move down the list - my grandad mate it to Nr.2 at Lee ciu - if they can do it, why not football clubs ? They should as loyalty is a big thing in football support - at least it should beSword65pf said:
That’s not going to go down well with Charlton royalty, not being recognised, how will they ever prove they are top of the loyalty league!!😂Airman Brown said:

just for clarity I’m being flippant with the loyalty thing, as far as I’m concerned everyone is welcome at Charlton, Day trippers or super loyal fans, I’ve been going a long time and have never expected anything other than watching football at the club I love and am loyal too, I don’t need to prove or rely on trying to be more loyal than the next person. Others seem to think they deserve stuff because they are really loyal!! the only time any loyalty recompense I would question is if somehow we had over 20,000 season ticket holders and I suddenly ended up on a waiting list after attending for 49years.That’s not happening and so there is enough space for all that want to go at the moment, as far as I’m concerned the more the merrier. I know young lads that go home and away and have for a few years, you try telling them they are less loyal than me for example.5 -
Was out with a Palace mate at the weekend. He is deliberating going to the Fiorentina away game as he has enough points. Blew my mind as he probably does one away game every 10 years.DOUCHER said:

Their points system doesn't get scrubbed every 2 yrs and he has had a season ticket for probably 20 or so and hence qualifies for a ticket ahead of younger fans who have been going 5 or so and go to every away game!0 -
I have no problem with people being loyal, that’s great in fact, but disagree that people should be treated any different / better because they have been going longer because they are older, or more because it is possible within a lifestyle( money/ life in general), probably the usual few people loling my every post earlier in the thread, which is fine,have more respect for you Doucher as you make you’re point, whether we agree or not. but there are other factors contribute to how loyal someone is able to be. My Dad for example went to every game for a long time, hence why I support Charlton, he doesn’t go that much now due to health, is he suddenly not loyal?? As he has probably still racked up more games than a lot on here telling us how super loyal they are and what they deserve for it. As I’ve said I expect nothing in return from the club for my loyalty other than hopefully a good game of football with players showing pride in the shirt, that’s how it’s always been.DOUCHER said:

Any existing ST holders would be mad not to renew in phase one if they are going to get one, hence the good take-up thus far.2 -
Yes agree, keep the season ticket holders they have already 1st, it then gets more tricky particularly in the current climate as a football season ticket isn’t the priority, so a bit of clever thinking and the couple of things I mentioned in my last post are needed.superclive98 said:

I'm not sure that follows. All it shows is that existing ST ticket holders have renewed slightly earlier than in previous years, mainly because they've gone on sale a bit earlier . If a quick google search is correct, this year they went on sale on the 6th March, last year on the 20th March, so 2 weeks later.Crispywood said:

Also all those individuals who have been moved from their seats in the Lower West, have more than likely renewed early as of their meetings on the 18th last week and have grabbed what’s available now instead of being moved down the pecking order later on into the end of Aprilkillerandflash said:

For transparency, there’s a discussion about Valley Express to which I have contributed privately. Not for me to say, but I wouldn’t anticipate it changing in a negative way.LargeAddick said:

Yes I’d heard there was a meeting with Bayliss last Friday. There have been a few vocal fans on our coach (Bexhill) moaning about the length of time they are on the coach and wanting the route modified. I personally don’t think that’s possible without cutting out a stop or two where most fans actually get on so counterproductive. It’s a shame there are not any feasible places to stop on the A21 without us having to divert into towns to pick up.Airman Brown said:

It’s a no brainer to renew at the cheapest time so yes you get a large slice there (now). But for those unsure / less committed you have to overcome the fact that some realise they overpaid when you take out the games you inevitably miss due to holiday/sickness/scheduling etc. Then you lose those who were caught up in the excitement of promotion but now know the reality of ‘survival’. Then we lose some to financial pressures in the current climate. And by contrast I don’t see many newbies being attracted by any great incentives not least because paying match by match online is straightforward.Harsh reality I think.1 -

Sometimes it's a lot easier to just pay for something when you have the money there in your account to do so rather than sitting on it and then potentially getting used for something else if money's tight.killerandflash said:
