I will be looking for Plymouth Argyle away which will become my 'home' game for geographical reasons (living in Exeter) and by co-incidence working only a stone's throw from Home Park tomorrow.

I'll be looking for Plymouth away too, Mrs is from Torbay so hoping for an early season fixture whilst the weather is still decent.
First game, last game, Boxing Day, New Year, Easter, and which fixtures will qualify as the grim up North midweek fixtures. Portsmouth at home may well be the biggest attendance.

actually suprised ive got quite a few to tick off, the ones i will try and get to are;
afc wimbledon bradford bristol rovers fleetwood or blackpool - make a weekend of it northampton plymouth pompey southend wigan gillingam
regarding cup games as always a big premier league team would be nice; man u, city, chelsea, arsenal, would say spurs but sod wembley when we will be there end of the season winning the playoffs
Wonder if the club spoke to the FA to see if we can play Portsmouth at home in early December...... all gone a bit quiet on the 25 year anniversary front....
Don't want a home game for the first game of the season as I am on holiday, although coming back from Devon that day so away to Plymouth, Brizzle Rovers or even Pompey would be ok
It provides a form of escapism, where I think about "Charlton", and not about RD or the regime, and I think about the team - such as it is - and where the tricky runs are; or where I'm gonna go on away days; or what games are good for a couple of beers and when.
It's exciting, and it happens during good weather before the season has started, and while I'm feeling hopeful about football!
And I feel like that up until kick off on day one of the season, when I get the chance to see the new arrivals/how the team looks, at which point I'll start judging.
Knowing this regime, the honeymoon period post fixture release doesn't last long (71 minutes of playing time vs Bury last year, or less if you consider how dire we looked before eventually conceding), but... Yeah, I'm gonna look forward to mentally planning out the season. I hope everyone else can do the same!

Bury away, two minutes into the season before the first "we want Roland out" went up.

Forgotten about that. What a damning indictment on them that 25 years after we fought so hard to get home and played in front of what 8/9k, we may be playing in front of less than that. That will sum up their regime in my opinion

Couldn't agree more, spoke to Damian Matthew yesterday and said exactly that, here we are nearly 25 years on and outside the building structure the owner has managed to undo in 3 years the last 30.
I don't know if the FA or EFL would have considered the request or even if the club made it.
