Now were back in the championship and expecting bumper crowds filling the valley again?? Well at least the away end!
Does anyone know of extra car parks on the ind estates or the storage car parks opening back up this season??
Especially as I thinks the trains are non existent into Charlton from London this wekend

Easy to park on Lombard Wall - opposite Asda. 10 minute walk to ground.

Football supporters had to resort to breaking open padlocks at a park-and-ride site after about 200 cars were locked inside during a match.

It happened after Colchester United beat Reading in a cup tie at the Community Stadium on Tuesday.

The game ended at 22:30 BST, but supporters hoping to return to their cars found the gates to the car park had been locked at 21:50 BST – and when they were told it could take up to four hours for the gates to be reopened, some of them took matters into their own hands.

Essex County Council has apologised and blamed it on a "breakdown in communication".

Anyone wanting to park in Charlton Park on Saturday then you have the added security of around 40 caravans worth of people that turned up last night and I’m sure will watch your car for you.

Now moved on so you’re free to park and get locked in.
