Just shows what is possible when your club is (seemingly from the outside) run very well from top to bottom as a sensible football club rather than being vehicles/ platforms for crooks or guitar parading ego trippers.
Northampton's game today vs Grimsby will kick off at the slightly unusual time of 2pm, to avoid a clash with the rugby which kicks off at 3pm! Seems weird to have to stagger the rugby and football this way, it's not as if the grounds are near each other.
Why did they have 15,711 home fans v 9th placed Sunderland but only 13,631 for the next home game v second placed Sheffield United then 12,172 v top of the table Burnley, admittedly this was midweek but they are having one of the best seasons in their history as we have one of our worst (why are Charlton fans so negative 🙄 ) Seems weird the home attendance would slide off that much when doing unbelievably well . I thought on the run and position they are in they’d be close to selling out the home end for all games , maybe they need some lower tier away fans to encourage them down to the Dennnnnn because their team could not do anymore .

Why was the crowd so big compared to the recent attendances .
I need an answer that makes sense !
The Sunderland game was a strange one. We hadn’t had a home league game for over a month and everyone just seemed to come out for it. Sheffield United was an early kick off and on Sky, and we’re always going to lose a couple of thousand for an evening game, as is probably the case with yourselves, what with so many of our fanbase now residing in deepest Kent and streaming available.
I’m not sure why you’re so fascinated. We’re not a big club, and don’t claim to be. Pre-war we had massive crowds, and for a few years after crowds were healthy, but since then nothing special (again, a bit like yourselves). We could fiddle our crowd numbers, and sell some ultra cheap ST’s in parts of the ground, like a certain local club does or has done, to try and make our attendances look more healthier than they are, but we really don’t care.
‘Biggest small club in the world’ and all that. We revel in the fact that we’re a small club who punches above our weight. Quality over quantity our fanbase, and we’re happy with that.
crowds and numbers has always been my game and I'm interested not fascinated as to why it got so high then drifted off . I thought good numbers for the sunderland fixture and rightfully so considering how good the team have been doing and as you say you're a minge of a club so i shouldn't be surprised with the drop off but i think your team deserves better home support considering what they've achieved so far Appreciate your response and it's clear you do care or you wouldn't have responded with the bitchy comments about our mingey support .
We don’t look like we’re giving them away …..
anyway your job as a club is to be our Cnut filter and you’re currently failing so take em back please .

That’s why I said “have done” meaning in the past, a few years ago, charlton selling season tickets for like 150 quid. People snapping them up because they’re so cheap then not bothering to attend most of the games.
Someone shared a table on millwall online a couple of years ago. It was how much championship clubs take in gate receipts. We was both in the championship then and despite you having a higher ‘official’ attendances than us, we took more in gate receipts. More walk-ups I suppose and dearer ST’s at the time.
Anyway, I responded because you asked for a response, not because I care what you think of our attendance figures. I didn’t respond the first time you asked, but you started to sound desperate and I felt sorry for you so I obliged.
I thought it wad obvious why Sunderland attendance was higher. Sunderland have one of the biggest away followings in the country (even when in league one). I know of at least 6 Sunderland fans that sat in the home end as the away was at capacity and they are London based so went with friends.
I just seek the truth with clarification, appreciate your attempt at answering , minus the sniping but I’ve got to be realistic , you can take the boy out of millwall life ……

Mate, we’re rivals, albeit friendly (on my part anyway) rivals. What would football rivalry be without the little digs and oneupmanship?
For the record, our next home game is a saturday 3pm kick off v Norwich. Can see that being another sell out. Watch this space.
Norwich have got to be bottom tier material , that always livens it up in the home end
We seem to sell the bottom tier first these days, then if the away team sell that then they get the upper tier as well. Last night Burnley had all of the lower tier, bar a section blocked off at each end, and few hundred in the upper tier.

Sheff Utd were all in top tier 🤷♂️
Yeah true. Does seem a bit random. Most clubs this season have had the bottom. Something to do with being on tv maybe. I don’t know mate.

Good to see they have to leave a load of seats empty in the away end cos of the scum factor 20,146 capacity sold out at 18,524

Charlton will now win ten on the bounce.
Cheers mate 👍

If they get into the play offs they will reach Wembley. They dont usually lose at home & will do enough over 2 legs to get through.

I'd fancy them against anyone in the play offs.
