I don't get the train and park on the east side so not that much inconvenience for me, but why don't they just hold Millwall back? I was under the impression any damage done by away fans is paid for by the offending clubs supporters?
Seems stupid holding CAFC fans back, just hope Kerms and JJ score a double each and we'll win 4 nil to make up for it
Why do you think that the club aint told you till today
It is not a great marketing ploy to tell your customers there will be an inconvience on sat Resulting in you having an xtra hr locked in because police intel has realised there is a very significant chance of serious trouble
And expect ticket sales to reach the target number
You can leave no one is keeping you in you just have to go another way home
All fans in the away end will be to the best of the OB ability be put on trains towards london bridge and not allowed off until past greenwich the same as we were at palace
To question the logic behind the decision is just madness they are trying to reduce the damage done to the stadium and when you consider what they have done in recent games has been substancial
They also know that theres a good chance of you getting or witnessing something you may choose not to in a normal match day experience
Why are people saying Millwall will be put on trains afterwards? The message on the website clearly states Millwall fans will be lead towards the station, nothing about being put on trains.
As the club have announced this is a joint decision they can take 50% of the blame. Why would any club deny its own fans using the train station and forcing them away from public transport. The 25 minutes thing is a joke, it will take an age to clear that lot who will be on the Lower Road and the Village before the home fans are (don't believe they will be on the trains).
Keep them in, disperse the home fans first, good enough for 91 other clubs. If the club/police cannot control a group of away fans without have to resort to these sort of measures then only offer that club tickets on a restricted basis, only those who come on a coach from their ground will be let in.
Im gonna borrow one of nolly''s millwall shirts and wear it under my jacket. Come full time will stroll to the gate do an exaggerated bowl up to the stewards, flash the replica top and they will let me out for the safety of the 20k charlton around me and ill casually make my way to the station.
The line about not wanting Millwall fans to miss their trains is an insult. When we were held back for an hour at there place a couple of years back that wasn't considered an issue.
Nothing like alienating your own fans whilst catering for the needs of a visiting team.
This has been done as the club are clearly worried the stand will get trashed if Millwall are held in.
This could have been dealt with weeks ago. Very simple. Away fans are told that they will be kept in when the tickets are issued. What other club would cater for the needs of away fans before its own?
Did Leeds do something similar? No. They made it clear they didn't want away fans thereand made it as hard as possible to get tickets.
The club wants to have its cake and eat it. Doesn't want to loose the revenue, doesn't want to have away fans in the area for any length of time so will piss off its own supporters.
It's funny. I live in the States and we do have a reputation for, what's the word, ah yes...... whinging. What is it the Aussies say? Ah yes, 'whinging poms'.
B i just dont see the big deal mate honestly i will be parking in the same place i always do the chances are we will be 3 down just after half time i reckon i will be home before the end
The ob who goes in cons mentioned the other day that millwall fans getting tickets for the game from their box office were being told to expect to be put on a train home even if you drove
Now considering he told us weeks ago we were going to be kept in after or not allowed from the anti to the station or from floyd rd to station or down from the village to the station
I reckon he may be right on that front to other wise it would be them that got held back because you wouldnt let them out first and say please go home and dont congrigate on the many side roads home and dont double back rd the anti
I am more interested in the plans for those found in the home end
I cant believe people cant see that mate those Scummy pricks have smashed the jimmy every time we have played them keeping them in will cause more damage
This will be the biggest police operation at a Charlton game, very expensive, the club can't afford for the away end to be trashed.
Clubs don't pay for the policing outside the ground. Most of the inside will be carried out by stewards. So yes it will cost more, but I doubt there will be that many police in the stadium.

cue Benny Hill music as Nathan draws the Millwall mobs out of the immediate vicinity
Just march them out of the ground and straight into Bellmarsh and throw away the key.
To all those with a ST and 4 away stubs pre-Feb

I was under the impression we had an underground line a very short distance away, might even beat them back to LB

Going to set Mickey on you.
McGyver would be proud of this plan.
I just hope they leave the poor kids at QE alone.
Luton '86 (?) all over again.
Now, I finally understand.
