Clearly the third step in a plan towards putting ticketing all online. The first step was to gradually reduce the availability of the ticket office and the second to serve up such shit first team football as to limit demand. Relegation should be the trigger to make the switch. Brilliance in action.
I want to not buy a season ticket next season in protest but how the hell do you buy tickets for a game!? Absolute joke of the once great club. Still, I know where to go with injuries... oh no, that's the players! The NHS call centre CAFC.
I remember getting ripped into for dissecting their every move, but it's quite obvious now to the vast majority that their every move is pulling a piece of us away, a piece that will take a long time to rebuild, these things will have contracts.. I mean how bloody stupid is it, we're probably the only FL club with this to earn a few extra quid. Why not just sack the entire playing squad? That'll save some money..
Actually think this could be good for us. They may do a better job of diagnosing all our long-term injuries and get them into surgery within the current 3 month timeline!
The decimation of the Health Service will continue until the population stop wanting everything for next to nothing, and start paying a reasonable level of income tax without winging about it all the time!!!
So how much are the club making from the rental on this deal.
It's unlikely to be the club but rather Duchatalet himself making the money from it. As I half jokingly posted before a Belgian billionaire is essentially profiting from our NHS. Salt in the wound.
Can see it now. Roland buys hospitals from around Europe, creating a health network. Kidneys that don't work, hearts that are bled dry and pickled livers are transferred around the network to aid ailing patients. All the 'doctors' are from Belgium and not necessarily qualified to do the job. A&E wards do however have the latest trance and progressive house bangin in the background which does help to flood out the noise of screaming customers patients!!
I would hazard a guess they will be busy most weekends with Charlton fans injured banging their heads on the seat in front as we ship a goal one minute before/after half time. If we get really lucky Miere might be carried in after dislocating her jaw laughing so hard at the protests.
If it's a bit of spare office space & the club can get some incoome from renting it out, I don't see the big issue.
It's not a spare bit of office space though is it? It's the ticketing centre to an event venue ffs. Surely, you've seen the ticketing issues that this had already caused?
An event venue that's selling less & less tickets...
Yeah, it's not like they're trying to increase the attendance to 20,000 or anything..
What was the reason for kicking off 5 minutes late as well ? Anything to do with the long queue to buy tickets stretching back to the club shop ?
How hard is it to sell tickets for a football game ?
I thought that.
Typical Charlton, do a "Kids for a Quid" initiative to sell more tickets... but don't bother publicising the fact you can print tickets off at home. So anybody who doesn't know will end up queueing for God knows how long (those queues were huge.) and misses a chunk of the match.
By all accounts, the match wasn't really worth watching...

One of the things I'm still not sure of is whether the turnstile scanners can read the barcode off your phone rather than having to print them out?
Is it funded by the NHS or not? My understanding is that there was a tender process, which CACT won - good on them, but it is hardly a sensible use of the Charlton ticket office from a club perspective whoever has the contract.

These people are here for the long haul.
Dodge an opportunity to meet someone for 30 mins to discuss Kuwait investment.
Always thought Katrien looked like receptionist... "Dr Fraye will see you now"
