That is the issue. Someone posted a link to the Wimbledon site earlier in the thread. This is the bit re the away end.
"Then we have the away end itself which, once again, is far bigger
than the space we were able to offer visiting supporters at Kingston.
The Cherry Red Records end can theoretically hold 1,466 supporters
but that’s something that’s almost entirely beyond our control.
Clearly some of the bigger clubs are going to bring more fans with
them than others. Bolton, for example, just about filled the stand with
their fans - but that’s not always going to be the case. In fact,
they’re the exception rather than the norm. We also have restrictions
placed on us depending on the category level of the match so, in
reality, we are unlikely to have more than 1200 maximum in there. In
fact we are currently restricted to 1000 until we have completed some
alterations proposed by the Safety Advisory Group."

New ground & they cant get a safety certificate due to alterations needed.
Bloody new builds. Always snagging problems. Never buy one & go for a Victorian instead !
The times have been revised as they were leaving Charlton as the last pick-up at silly o'clock, which in turn made all the other pick-ups earlier still.
Times like this my late buying of tickets (usually on the door of home/away games) really bites. 370 points just not enough. Need to be more organized in future! Worst thing is I will now have to go to the In-Laws on Boxing day where this game was going to be my way out. 😡

The worst performance I have ever seen from us was a Boxing Day game at Plough Lane a good few years back. We lost of course, our performance was disgraceful an absolute no show from the entire team. Anyone else remember this game and can fill in the shameful details? Incidentally, our Boxing Day results have not been much to shout about over the years!
I seem to remember we had a bit of an injury crisis and played a young Paul Mortimer at centre half and I seem to also remember him giving away a pen. Seemed a strange decision to me at the time as we had Leaburn who might have been better suited to the role against their physical attack. Can’t recall now but Fash may well have been up front for them.

I may just get the coach, at least going Dartford, Bexleyheath, Charlton you're sort of heading in the right direction.
Would be a good game for them to stick on a couple of extra coaches, could be popular as it allows for more drinks on Xmas day.
Apparently the 493 is tiny and unreliable.
Without main line trains every alternative needs exploring.
You would then have to carry me to Wimbledon.
Welling vs Dulwich
Dartford vs Ebbsfleet
Roland probably wouldn't have even known we had a game.
