Firstly, we couldn't be sure that the game would go ahead due to the weather.
Secondly, I've already lost £60 due to the Rochdale postponement (train fares & ticket)
Thirdly, If the game goes to extra time & penalties, it is possible that it could finish after 10.30 & then you have to make your way back on those ever so reliable trains.
Fourthly, it's bleedin freezing & as I've been to the vast majority of our games in the last 30 years, with Walsall on Sunday & Brentford on Tuesday I can't be bothered.
Finally, I'm also out Friday, Saturday , Sunday , Monday, Tuesday due to football, xmas parties etc.
I'm sure this sums up the situation for a lot of people as well.
Even by our standards and all the possible excuses, it's ain't great is it.
That said, 3 of us are heading off to get the train in 5mins from Maidstone. And I can't wait. the FA Cup still does it for me, esp with the prize on offer.
Im sure those going will enjoy and get behind the team. No sitting down tonight.
It's often the poor turnouts like this that end up being well remembered games!! A "I was one of the 400 there" ones.
That said it will probably be typical Charlton in the Cup and we will get humiliated.
Alas, with no more "work do's" , I have zilch pre Xmas parties to attend so may as well spend my cash and spare time at Kenilworth Rd .....And it's BOUND to be one of those " well remembered games" that The Organiser refers to !

It will probably nearly double with walk-up, nobody I know that's going, apart from me, actually has a ticket
