I can see this getting very messy & possibly heated. Seeing as its sold out AND unreserved seating I can see a few "lads" turning up at 2.55 & looking for half a dozen seats together only to find a load of random singles or at best twos. Be prepared for lots of standing in aisles, gangways & exits.
Siddarn! :-)
I know what you mean tho’
With the terrible legroom, anyone taller than Jay DaSilva will want to stand anyway!
No I won’t.
It would be nice if one side or a bit in the middle could be for those old gits like me that want to sit, but I do not hold out much hope.
What I meant was that from memory, the legroom (I'm fairly tall) was so poor that it was almost impossible to sit anyway, unless you had empty seats next to you and could sit partially sideways.

I got that, just hoping.
The quicker they get safe standing the better.Then we can all go and watch a match how we want to.

The sooner they get a new ground the better, though that's a saga which has been running for 25 years (so even longer than our takeover thread)
It may be North of Watford but too far South for me. Seems like my first visit there to see Peacock, Shipperley and co playing in either red (or blue) and black stripes (memory fading), black shorts in the early 70s, will also be my last. Was a dump then and there's been near nigh a further 50 years of decay since, enjoy.
Luton was my first ever away game on my birthday in November 1971, a 2-1 win with two Keith Peacock goals. My dad drove us up there and as a young kid it seemed so far away.
Done Luton away three times and seen three defeats. This includes a 7.1 thrashing which in 52 years of supporting Charlton is the biggest defeat I have seen. Hoping this season my luck changes and I get see a win. As for the ground I echo what others have said it is shite just as bad as Wimbledon in fact.
Funny you should mention that. The second time I went to Luton it all kicked off after the game. My mate Ian (several posters on here know him) got stabbed in the back. He spent a week in Luton hospital with a punctured lung. A friendly place Luton ain't. My advice to anyone going for a beer after the game would be to get back to London first.

First time I went there. My dad insisted on leaving before the end to get an early train so we had to wait until we got the evening paper in London to see if we had held on to win.

Have a good trip.

Work commitments changed for next saturday, so am now able to make the game.
