With the Christmas relaxation of the rules I'd expect Boxing Day to be Tier 3 folks only. That would be fair, but if I were Charlton I'd insist on them all wearing full HazMat suits.2 -
Make the away end tier3 using the separate entrance. Good trial for non vaccine supporters in the future as we can use Bertram gate then. 😉2

For those going tomorrow.
The fish and chippy in Charlton Church Lane is now a Morley's Chicken shop.10 -
for anyone going tonight......you'll have a long cold wait until 7.45pm tomorrow nightCrusty54 said:For those going tonight.

Are the food outlets in the stands open?0

I emailed the club to say that for health reasons I wouldn't attend, and could they put any tickets allocated to me back into the draw so that someone who can go gets allocated instead? This is what's now happened; not required to produce any proof of ill-healt, just told that I'd need to let them know if at some future point I did want to be included in the draws.I wish I could go, but it wouldn't be sensible: I want to be around to watch the matches next season.It would be nice of course if they had 2000 ST holders who were neither in Tier 3 nor clinically vulnerable so those people could go and the rest of us just get refunds towards next season, which would be nice and easy for them to administrate. Hats off to them though for sorting this out very quickly.6

809 tickets remaining1

If fans are being asked to arrive 90 minutes before kickoff, and then stay around after the game, it's a lot more convenient and pleasant to do that for a 3pm kickoff than an evening game, especially in winter, and far less disruptive for most people in terms of work etcJohnnyH2 said:Why are people trying to pick and choose their games. I get why Saturday's are more prefable to midweek but the season ticket is for all games, unless it is very much COVID specific why you cannot attend, if you can't go then that is the way it is in the same way it happens all the time under normal circumstances

tickets sorted, does say arrive at 6pm !!!!. not sure I fancy sitting there for that long (nor that I can actually get there by then)
couple of questions:
- presume everyone has to wear masks? (even kids??)
- does everyone (including kids) need ID0 -
Apparently there will be another email from the club with further instructions/information for succesful ticket holders, the original information was as followsElthamaddick said:tickets sorted, does say arrive at 6pm !!!!. not sure I fancy sitting there for that long (nor that I can actually get there by then)

You will be required to bring photographic ID to the game.
Facemasks must be worn at all times. Supporters who have an exemption for wearing a facemask should get in touch with the club by emailing tickets@cafc.co.uk to get a facemask exemption lanyard for the game.

Got an entry time of 6pm.That sounds cold and rather boring but hey ho - lucky to be there I suppose.4

Never tried whisky and hot chocolate before. Hoping the combination won’t be too horrible8

Pop a miniature rum in that and think of a Caribbean beach 🏖, should see you through to kick off. 🙂clive said:Charlton fans attending Wednesday evening’s game against MK Dons will receive a warm welcome back to The Valley thanks to Andrews Heat for Hire with every supporter receiving a free hot chocolate on arrival.

Is there any on pitch entertainment to keep us occupied?0 -
Probably the first person to get a face full of hot chocolate from a stray ball during warm upsCatAddick said:

Must be really difficult to manage the seating arrangements at West Ham.clive said:
With a capacity of only 2,000 it is probably impossible to seat people in adjacent seats/in bubbles without reducing the capacity even more.Fanny Fanackapan said:
I mentioned the "bubbles" on here the other day as I believed this information we provided would be crucial to the planning for this.se9addick said:
I don’t think they’ve looked at the surveys we filled in a few months ago for this match (so you could be selected if you live in a tier 2 area), but the message from the Trust suggests the club are meeting over efficiencies (including easier opt out options) for future matches.TeslaGirl said:Haven't had an email saying either I have or I've not. And I'd prefer to be able to opt out - because I won't go for health reasons - and if the club knows this and were going to pick me, then I'd be blocking one of the 2000 tickets that could've gone to someone else who is able to attend.Did say in the 'CAFC bubbles survey' thing that I am deemed clinically vulnerable so I would hope they've cross-referenced that?(Apologies if this has been picked up in earlier posts - I jumped to the end of this thread...)
Surely this has to be included in future arrangements ?1 -
Surprised the refreshment kiosks aren't open at all. From the link posted earlier, at Millwall they will be open

I'm pleased you have now corrected yourself and have confirmed that the club did not tell you "that I would have to go if chosen or produce a shielding letter".addick1956 said:
I had a choice.. go or not. If not I would lose my CAFC money and have to pay directly further £10 to stream the game. If I informed club non attendance they had the right to sell the ticket but not on my behalf. If I didn't bother to tell them I would be assumed to have printed it off.Covered End said:
He was highlighting your assertion that you would have to go or produce a shielding letter.addick1956 said:
Well you are most certainly wrong. The e-mail I was sent said that I had to produce a letter of shielding to opt out . What is it with you that can't believe that. I have no reason to lie about that.se9addick said:
I’m very certain no one at the club told you that you “would have to go if chosen” - it’s a third division football match not bloody military conscription.addick1956 said:
I queried my position very early on Fridsy. I got a reply on Saturday early saying I would have to go if chosen or produce a shielding letter which I have never received. Many people who perhaps should have didn't.Fanny Fanackapan said:This is NOT a criticism per se but most of the questions/complaints from Lifers today could have been foreseen & discussed over the period of time Bob Munro indicated since clubs were made aware of the upcoming situation.
We also knew that the DA postcodes would cause problems ( see BFG94's post above) but some stated this would be dealt with....How many other Kent residents will be offered tickets and decide not to query it ?
Then we hear that under 18s/younger children have been offered a ticket but NOT the adult in the same household.
My fear is that this is going to be a fiasco and may well have implications on the forthcoming matches which those of us missing out on Weds evening will suffer....
Well done to CAST for endeavouring to indicate the problematical areas of the issue but sadly, I think the horse had already bolted.
However I lodged a claim that even without underlying conditions 70 plus are more vulnerable to Covid .
I have not yet received a reply. I did phone the club to opt out in the end. Never the less no e-mail. I was shocked by the club's initial response as it flies in the face of all government advice at this time.
Therefore, as you can't get a shielding letter you are saying the club are saying you have to go to the match.
You are suggesting the club are forcing you to attend by presumably forcibly removing you from your abode and taking you to The Valley.
Perhaps, it would be a good idea to check what you write before posting.
Just a suggestion.
I did check the e-mail again
It told me to produce evidence to opt out which considering the circumstances we are in , is unfair.
Like I say I suggest you check what you have written before you post, as many of your posts are incorrect, don't make sense etc.
Just trying to be helpful, I'm not telling you what to do.5 -
It might once they allow more fans in than the amount of sold season tickets sold then vg is probably next on the priority listmeldrew66 said:Interesting to see that being a Valley Gold member counts for nothing in terms of priority ticket access. I thought that priority access was recognised as a VG benefit. If that doesn’t apply in the current circumstances, I can’t see when else it would and why.

If I wasn’t driving, I would be wondering if an Irish coffee tastes the same out of a flask 😂0

I contacted the ticket office who said I had not been succesful for Wednesday (but I had to ask for that) but no news about a new ballot later on?0
-
I know what's going to happen. I'm gonna get the confirmation email at 12.59 and fail to redeem it in my one allotted minute to do so2

Just said on SSN clubs can serve food n drinks and you have to consume at your seat. Don’t have to wear a mask during the game only to exit/enter0
