Did we really lose several thousand season ticket holders under his dictatorship?
Naturally most of these will return now he has gone, compounded with the new influx of support generated during the playoffs the matchday support base should rise considerably, therefore leaving the overall fan base quite healthy indeed.

Be interesting to see the turnout next week
20k minimum.
So 17k home fans? I'm not so sure. Might be a bit more gradual I reckon.

We have been having gates of 17k plus recently so hopefully my figure is not too optimistic.
I am more interested in how our gates pan out for the future.

Our average home attendance in 1997/98 was 13,275 - and we got promoted! (I accept that the capacity then was around 16,000).
If we are averaging 17,322 so far this season then that would likely indicate our core support has grown in that time. Of course it probably follows that some of the new fans in the Premier League years have stayed with us (which is great of course) but I would expect us to now average 20k+ in the Championship with the returners taken into account, and should we get promotion to the Premier League then a sell-out most if not all games with likely less 'tourists' than we got in the prem years.
From a fan numbers perspective I believe we are as healthy as we've been for a long time.

Got tickets last night. It’ll be the first league game I will have seen at the Valley since Feb 2015 watching Tony Watt tearing SCP’s Huddersfield apart. I’ve only been back for the playoffs semis. Six of us going, all not gone for at least a couple of years because of RD. I’ve been waiting for this day for so long and I’m sure there’s many more like us. 20k might not be that unrealistic.

Olli when you write the book please make sure there is a chapter dedicated to the club taking its own fans to court - ---- using its tame plod----- cut and splicing threads ----- adding in OFFICIAL CAFC headers and footers -------- and LOOSING.

I’d like to understand the players more for this to be true. If it’s a political play, then someone other than HE would be the ultimate backer. HE doesn’t, at least on the surface, appear to fit the bill for this. If this is the case, then someone higher up is driving this, even if they have no direct link to either the ownership or funding.
I'm trying to find the video from a few years ago of Matt Syed talking on sky about why these states get involved in major sports, another fascinating insight.

As I mentioned above, this is fascinating ... and very intriguing ... could very well make sense of the entire takeover.
A club in Royal Greenwich with all the Peninsula development, growing infrastructure and housing ... definitely an all-round good ‘rentier’ investment ... Manchester has certainly done well out of their Middle East connections.

It (sort of) makes sense. Why else take a risk on buying Charlton, of all football clubs?

Interview with tahnoon nimer, about 1.40 in he mentions that they only invests in unique opportunities, if they are qualified enough
As my mum says, it will all come out in the wash in the end.
Interested to know what is so unique about the mighty CAFC.
This is serious business for them so very exciting being a charlton fan right now
