If only people had this enthusiasm a couple of months back when tickets were only £38...
Yep, spot on
Yep, ridiculous that people may want to travel up there just to see us possibly get promoted and not expected to get massively ripped off in the process.

People still have the option of travelling by road, and going very cheaply
£25 for a coach is a bargin, I can't believe people aren't seeing that as a valid option.
My £32 return was a bargin as well, cheers again Elfsborg!
Coaches are alright if you're under 16 or over 60 or on your own but most people like a bit of freedom and have a good few drinks on the journey and before/after. If you was allowed to drink on coaches, Would be a bit more popular probably.

It's the law, not club policy. If you really dislike it then book the train.
It's a risk/reward situation but every away game is in a way. Most of us have had depressing, expensive days at Blackpool, Barnsley, Wigan, etc, but in this case the potential reward far outweighs the financial outlay.
Anyone who's thinking of it and misses out if something big happens will be absolutely kicking themselves come 5pm Saturday. And if not, those of us up there will enjoy it for what it is.

They are bloody tiring but serve a purpose for people. I always travel by train but I believe travelling by train is in the minority, not just Charlton as I do not see so many other clubs fans using train on my travels.
A good few drinks before/after game.....terrific line, see you in the boozer before Carlisle!

Whisper the thanks quietly FOD, people on here are not too happy with our foresight.
I don't think anyone is saying that - not that I remember seeing anyway. Well played to you for getting in early and taking that risk in stumping up cash early doors.
Just because people aren't exactly happy with the remaining alternatives doesn't mean they are digging people who are sorted.
Seems to me that people are getting criticised for wanting to go up there for a reasonable price, yet on other threads people are digging out our lack of away numbers. Seems like a no win situation either way - which unfortunately is increasingly commonplace on here.

I think the club were wrong in bringing up the subject of the train. It was unlikely things were going to be clear cut for Saturday, the logistics were always going to be a problem, lets face it, the club have no dough so do not want to take a risk.
Let the plane take the strain .. for a mere 2 and 1/2 grand .. non stop Stanstead to Newcastle .. a bit like RyanAir, you land fifty plus miles from your intended destination. May I wish a hearty good luck and a strong bladder for all you hardy coach trippers. It's a grim ride to and from Carlisle.

Thank the lord for my £32 return ticket on the train

How much did it cost you Elfsborg? Don't think you've mentioned it before. ;o)

For next season, ten weeks in advance of games tickets go on sale, as long as you are prepared to take the gamble of games not being rearranged.

The travel fairies will transport me in a pink soft fluffy cloud from Lee to Carlisle, and then back again, all the while offering me Champagne and Lindor chocolate. leave at 1pm home by 6, and cos I booked in time it's only costing me £31 so there!

Stay loyal to the train SE10, let the train take the strain

I believe the Scousers currently hold the record (241).
