    Sold just over 500 so far. Looking forward to it, although reading your messages I'm sure it will be a much different atmosphere to the one last time I came to the valley. 1-1 on the Championship opening day!

    It will be like a morgue, with about 4,000 Charlton fans in the lower tiers of the North & West Stands.

    Currently looking like we may struggle to get to 4,000 home fans, looking at the seats available. I am guessing that the large blocks of seats in use together are tickets that have been bulk-printed for emergency sale on the day if the system goes down (which is routine). If I'm right I would say home sales are under 1,000 with 48 hours to go. It's not as calamitous as might be projected from that, because people habitually buy very late for these games, but it's very low.

    Was going to make a late decision on Saturday morning, then saw that it's engineering works and bus from dartford to plumstead..............nah

    Late decision presumably means Katrien tax on top of the ticket price?

    So £12.50 or £13 rather than £10?

    So this game might be the first time we will get an accurate attendance figure due to the FA rules?

    would they have to pre print the tickets available for sale from the shop?

    I'm going, I support the football team as I have done for 55 years.

    I'm going. It will be like old times, not many of us, shit going on behind the scenes, indifferent performances on the pitch, loads of people saying they support Charlton but don't go anymore and how the ground used to be full and a tannoy that can't be heard, but it's still Charlton nevertheless and we are where we are, wishing we were somewhere else doesn't deal with the problem. Change comes from what happens on the pitch so I'm going to do my bit and get behind the team.
    With respect, don't think that results on the pitch would have got the Club back to The Valley.
    More to do with the formation of and then the political lobbying of The Valley Party.
    It wasn't results that forced Duchatelet to re-think his relationship with Standard Liege either.

    So 'it's still Charlton nervertheless' only because there were enough people prepared to fight for the future of the Club. That future is at stake again in a somewhat different way but make no mistake - Duchatelet and Meire are conducting a year zero approach to running the Club and are in the process of re-inventing Charlton as a soulless enterprise (ideally she wants new customers not old died in the wool fans) and force-feeding the way in which you 'experience the product'.

    They might, given the IT systems are presumably now separate, but that could be overcome. It wouldn't be a sustainable way of selling tickets from the shop over the medium term, however, unless they are going to use online ticketing for home sales.

    There's a need to have tickets preprinted for cup games, in particular, in case either the system falls over or there are queues that can't be managed at the windows.

    Got my ticket. I said that 3 o'clock wasn't very convenient, so we're kicking off at 3.15. Oh, and I'm on the bench and doing the Valley Gold draw.

    You're cheap...

    You should have demanded that they pay you more.

    How much is the charge to let you out???

    Saturday's attendance will show just what a MASSIVE FAIL LIAR AND ROLAND ARE. Think I'll say it again another way - ROLAND & MEIR are 2 MASSIVE FAILURES. Hope the Lying Bitch reads this.That feels better now.

    That's £12 more quid towards Liar's Christmas Bonus. Sad but true. I wouldn't want my kids anywhere near The Valley with these cnts in charge. Sorry each to their own.

    To put things in perspective, back in 2010 (our second season in L1 and around the time the Spivs took over) we played Barnet in the FA Cup. After drawing 0-0 at Underhill, we won the replay 1-0

    Yes it was a Tuesday night, but the attendance was still only 4803, and that for a relatively attractive match for the visiting fans.

    Instead of charging £10 for adults why don't they charge £5 for adults? Surely it makes sense that if you can't get fans in the door you lower the price?
