On the basis of above where 1,000 kids get free tickets, 500 Wycombe and me......I'd say 16,125 mostly because people are hoping there will be announcement or progress on the Undertaker.
Hope not though or the Lib Club will get too busy pre and post.

Congratulations, you were closest (I think?!) only 400 odd out
It was a very good crowd - Charlton's highest in the Third Division since the Preston NE promotion decider in 1975 - with a much bigger home walk-up on the day than we have had in recent seasons. Wycombe brought 1,021 in the end.
Outstanding performance by the fans, given the context.
Airman, am i right in thinking stewards were going down the queue (which snaked from the ticket office back to the road at 2.55), and swapping tickets for cash ?

[cite]Posted By: AFKABartram[/cite]Airman, out of interest what was the walk up yesterday, and how did that compare with what the club were expecting ?
I had a conversation about this on Thursday and the view then was that it was very hard to predict. There was a big walk-up for Ipswich, but a lot of those people will have been season-ticket holders.
You might expect more match ticket sales because 30 per cent of season-ticket holders haven't renewed, but this was not our experience last season - even before it became clear we were in trouble. Match ticket sales - in advance and on the day - were poor.
Also you would expect an increase in match ticket sales to be reflected in advance sales rather than just walk-up on the day - in fact advance sales for Wycombe were poor, although it did get busier towards the end of the week.
In the end we sold more match tickets for Wycombe than for any game last season except the Kid for a Quid game against Barnsley and we probably had the biggest walk-up for a league game in a number of years, although I don't have figures to prove that.
unbelievable queues at the valley for a walk up , just hope those that turned up will do again cos i know i would have had the right hump with queues that long ....
still to those who got in they must have been pleased with the excitement (you were all wrong the championshit isn't the exciting league it's the third tier where it's at FACT) and hopefully they'll all be back for some more chinese torture in the near future but we have to have enough bodies to get these people in the ground quickly or it may put some off

1k freebies
500 Wycombe
1500 or so walk up.
13000.
I thought someone posted that a few days ago they'd only sold 300 or so.
I reckon we will have around 14-15k

Felt busier up in north upper than it has in last couple of yrs
Thought i was back at Welling !
Hahahaha quality!!
So I understand.
Shame we didnt push on for a 4 or 5 goal win as might have converted a few into STs.
Still have to be impressed by 16 k+
