If you are boycotting the play offs, because you do not wish to give your money to Roland, please read the rules below.
The money from the play offs is pooled, & 50% of the funds are shared between the 4 clubs.
So Charlton get just 12.5% of the total revenue if I am correct.
I just thought you should be aware if you wanted to come along. Regards to all.

How many of you stopped going to games during the Selhurst/Upton Park seasons?
Nobody had sarcastic digs at you back then or said you weren’t a “real fan”. What’s the difference between boycotting then & boycotting now?
FYI I attended the majority of games during those seasons, including when I had no money because of unemployment, & when ill with pneumonia.
Charlton Til I Die
Probably drove up to Donny at 3am to demand these extra 800 tickets
Anyway it begs the question, who's siphoning off the money if the clubs only get 50% between them? Here it just says, "50% of the Net Gate Receipts shall be paid into the Pool Account referred to in Article 35". Pool fund! Is Harvey using the cash to build himself an Olympic-sized plaything?
I went to Shithurst & met many a fan who boycotted then, usually in the pub.
We’d chat, face to face, have a laugh then buy each other a drink.
Sad but true.
Bowyer has done a fantastic job under this lunatic and I think boycotters may wish to go to these games to appreciate his and the efforts of the lads. And boycott again next season, if the idiot still owns us! let's hope he doesn't, he is the only enemy here.
However, if the boycotters come back for these games its their choice and they should be welcomed back with open arms. We are all FANS
I was simply thinking of some of the boycotters I know personally, who said they wouldn't go because the money would go to RD.
I just didn't want them to find out after having missed the semi & maybe Wembley that the money was pooled.
It may be our most exciting few games for many a year.
I was just trying to be helpful.
Percentages are irrelevant. I shall not support CAFC until a new ownership is realised.
This is my opposition to the status quo.
In seeking something positive from a negative situation I am using the free time to good effect in campaigning activities not related to football; in these I am enjoying success.
I've decided to break my own boycott for the home leg. Possibly a bit hypocritical coming back for such a huge game but it's been 2 years for me, that's a fair few quid Roland has missed out on from me in that time, it's been very difficult at times to not go back especially this season but I need to get back for this match. Fair play to anyone still continuing to boycott you're stronger willed than I am.
No question.
Give your Dad a cwtch from me.
Jim Ratcliffe going through the EFL paperwork as we speak.
Going to the home leg after boycotting is not hypocritical in my view. Boycotting is really hard and in my opinion the best way of encouraging RD to sell.
A losing strategy probably but nobody knows the answer when dealing with this likely sociopath (well, on the scale somewhere at least)!
I have attended one home game per season for the last 3 seasons and managed to only spend £5 but will be going to the 2nd leg home game as my only visit this season and will have to pay the full price. Of course it is even harder to boycott when the team is doing so well and I may have even gone the whole season but I wanted to see this team at the Valley before it is invariably broken up this summer.
When booking I looked at the season ticket page to see that some arsehole has already bought my 'boycotted' seat.....I will try and avoid eye contact because no doubt it would not end well.....
