    When was the last time we won in front of a big away following?

    25th May 1998
    yes, it's amazing we actually won that day seeing our record in 'big' games is so poor

    It could be argued that we didn’t actually win it, Sunderland lost it.
    It was a 4-4 draw.

    Just see BBC news weatherman getting all excited expecting temps to get up to 24c end of next week. Could be a great day in the sun.

    Sod the football, let's go to Southsea instead!
  • You have been allocated the full away end - the quarter stands in each corner. Just over 2500. Fill it up!

    If we'd won last night that might well have happened.

    It will get sold out. It is going to be a crucial game regardless of last night's result.

    Apologies for absence, it's a 600 mile round trip for me, get behind the boys, make plenty of noise and bring back the three points. See you all at Shrewsbury the Tuesday before? :wink: .

    As someone else said, especially if we win on Saturday.
    Should be a great atmosphere.

    Stay overnight you part-timer. That'll break the journey.

    Besides, 600 miles is nothing to see the best team in the world.

    When was the last time we won in front of a big away following?

    If you count it as a big away following...

    Brentford 1-2 Charlton, 5 March 2016
    Callum Harriott double.


    Or the season before...

    Norwich 0-1 Charlton (Jackson 86')
    Reading 0-1 Charlton (Vetokele 39')

    Don't have the away numbers for these fixtures to hand though so might not have been "big" numbers.

    Operation Pompei, it is then. Hopefully, we’ll turn up for a big game, for once

    All we need now is for somebody to organise a boat from Greenwich to Portsmouth...quick trip down the Thames, hang a right and keep the coast on your right. What could go wrong ?

    We’d sell whatever we were given at Wembley no problem, people underestimate everyone who would come out of the woodwork for such a game + mates etc

    No chance. This would be a League One play-off after four disastrous years under Duchatelet not a triumphant return to the Premier League. The turnout for the Full Members Cup, our first Wembley appearance for forty years was pitiful - around 15,000. I reckon we'd do very well to get 25,000 to the League One play-off final, but even better to make it.

    No way, the first appearance at the new wembley and the 20th anniversary since our last wembley game? I honestly think people would be falling over themselves for a ticket, we arent like Blackpool who have been to wembley multiple times in recent years so fans can justify boycotting it more easily.

    On top of the regulars, you would get most of the boycotters returning, lapsed fans from the prem days who live locally still, exiles who dont want to miss the chance the see us at wembley. Plus many of these will bring mates who support other teams for the day out.

    If Leyton Orient can take 22K to Wembley (in 2014), we should at least be hitting 30K.

    Fill it easy, if there's 27k prepared to come to the Hartlepool celebration game , then 35k for Wembley will be a given, no problem.

    Well, Charlton did insist on selling the tickets only at Selhurst Park, which in those pre-internet days was a factor. I don’t think they posted them out either.

    They claimed for security reasons they couldn't sell from the Valley Club - and then did so for the play-off games two months later.

    And if Millwall can take 40,000+.....of course we would sell out.

    That's only because they want to invade the pitch, kick off with eachother and stuff police hats up their jumpers. We don't do any of those things ;)

    Wasn’t that £5 a ticket?? Vs probably £30-70 for a play-off final.

    That said, I think we’d maybe just manage it.

    In Jose Mourinho’s guidebook, you are correct
