I've been a season ticket holder in the past and have been watching charlton at the valley for the past 25 plus years. My first game was at upton park with us losing 2 0 to millwall...
Sadly I work most Saturdays now so cannot go as often as I want. I'm joining valley gold so I don't have the worry of waiting till general sale for any future games.
If you gave a priority to anyone with a ticket for previous rounds as well, it would be fair and would not disadvantage anyone as I don't suppose there were too many at Huddersfield that didn't qualify as ST holders, VG, 5th round ticket holders etc! But it does seem to me that all of the 400 or so up there that Tuesday thoroughly deserve not having to sweat for a QF ticket. ( I declare an interest as I was there and not the only one of that ilk)
But it is what it is and we all know the rules. Hope nobody misses out.
What we shouldn't let pass is why the FA has done its best to spoil this occasion for us with a ko time designed for maximum inconvenience. Good to see the Trust is taking this up.
I am not arguing about priority, rather I am discussing what makes you 'genuine'. I reckon that there are many overseas who feel the same hurt and joy as the rest of us, and would love to be at games. I agree that everybody knows the score about ticket priority and have to adjust accordingly, I disagree that the only genuine fans are those who go to every game. Those who do go to every game are not genuine fans, they are heroes of the first order ;-)
For the last time. I used the wrong word. Seth I explained this in the post just before yours.
I meant fans that genuinely go regularly enough to justify buying a season ticket but choose not to. Those that didn't miss a home game for 75 years but haven't been this season cannot have a gripe about not getting a ticket as they knew the rules - even though it now seems likely they will get one.
I'm not digging you out Seth but having a couple of posts complaining about what I said was fair enough but to keep getting them when I've explained my mistake does defeat the point of me bothering to explain myself.

Police dictated kick off time, not he FA
They dictated it due to it being pre planned operation with the possible option of the "high risk" sheffield derby.

There are some on here (not Seth) who love a misrepresentation even when you elaborate to remove any real or imagined ambiguities.
Wow. Great stuff. How many rows in the lower tier? I'm in R.
"A" is the front row and it goes back to "Q" which is the last row...................;-)
I've just been studying a photo and it's an irregular shape, deeper in some places than others. So actually, you're probably right for at least half the stand. I think it's fair to assume that I'm in the back row, which is good news.

Asked the women for a student ticket along with the adult tickets we got to be told there wasn't student tickets for this game, only under 22 tickets?
