    Are there any details of the quiz night? I could be up for that.

    Is this not multiple choice?

    Okay in that case, I'm going for....... 16th November at 19:00

    I can't actually see where this is confirmed anywhere other than Dave Ramzens Facebook post. His link just goes to the cadsa homepage and there's nothing on it in their news items

    If you are planning to use the wheelchair bays for any of our home Cup matches this season the only ones the club are making available are at the front of the West Stand, which are un-covered. We had been promised a few covered wheelchair spaces for these games but the ongoing financial restraints have put paid to that promise.
    CADSA are planning to pay for an alternate solution and we will inform you all when this is finalised.

    Finally, we have been able to resurrect our annual Quiz Night for this year and it will be taking place in Bartrams @ The Valley on Friday November 16th at 7pm.

    As promised, new CADSA statement:

    "Following on from our recent member's Newsletter, issued this week, some supporters have been concerned with the lack of covered wheelchair spaces being made available for the home cup matches this season. I have had confirmation this morning that the East Stand wheelchair bays will be made available for the Checkatrade Trophy match against Wimbledon on Tuesday September 4th. Entrance and exit will be via the Sam Bartram gate in Lansdowne Mews only and, as the catering outlets in this stand will not be open, I would suggest you make alternate plans if you require food or drink during the game. Parking spaces behind the gate are also available and can be booked with Kishan in the usual way.

    It has been confirmed that this area will be available for all home cup matches this season so all the previously mentioned facilities will be available for each fixture.

    CADSA had planned to purchase a shelter capable of covering three existing wheelchair bays at the front of the West Stand, specifically bays 27, 28, and 29, which are situated next to the empty platform near the home end (I've been told this platform used to house a sofa but I didn't believe it - no one would be that daft would they!).

    Whether we need to purchase this shelter after all has yet to be discussed but CADSA are still holding a Quiz Night at The Valley as a general fundraiser."


    So we now have good news regarding the wheelchair bays.

    Let me know if you have any further questions, or feel free to send a message directly to cadsa@cafc.co.uk

    Don't forget to bring your own crisps along.

    The club has been Fucking over its fans en masse for years. Why are people surprised by this?

    It's shitty, of course it is, but it's just par for the course I'm afraid.

    This is what the club is right now. But still people accept it.....

    Yeah, "embarrassing."

    Correct me if I'm wrong, are the covered parts for the wheelchair users in the north east and north west quadrant? If the answer is yes, were they in use last season for the home cup games?

    The covered end was closed for those games?

    It doesn't make any sense to me why the NW quadrant couldn't be specially opened for disabled fans. I mean what is needed? The lift being switched on and somebody letting them in and out FFS!

    Need a lift engineer on site in case if fails, apparently.

    Surely there should be one on call but not on site. I have worked in many offices and can't recall a single one having a lift engineer on site.
  • Must be a Charlton fan who is a lift engineer who would be “on call” from inside the stadium for the price of a ticket plus remuneration if he was needed of course.

    You’ve clearly never used the East Stand lift lately. Last time I went to get in (towards the end of last season) the door nearly fell off!!

    There probably is a lift engineer Charlton fan out there somewhere but probably either boycotting or will rightly not assist RD with any goodwill.

    Last time I/we used it was in 2007 to take my disabled mum up in it to watch my son when he was a mascot! Surely they service it, although under Roland, maybe not!

    With the Roland out sticker logo printed on them.

    Would be helping disabled Charlton fans. Fuck Roland.
