An update ahead of the visit of Fleetwood Town this weekend

clive

The club’s drive to Fill the Valley, a campaign launched in November ahead of the home win against Plymouth Argyle, has seen attendance figures rise at The Valley this season which has been very pleasing to see and much appreciated by everyone at the club including Johnnie Jackson and his players.

The campaign continues with season-ticket holders and half season-ticket holders currently being offered additional match tickets for this weekend’s home game against Fleetwood Town on a 'buy one, get one free' basis, once again giving season-ticket holders the opportunity bring fellow Charlton supporting friends or family members with them to a home match.

What a disgrace , another sign that Sandgaard hasn't a clue , how can he have the front to try and make us pay to watch that shit .
Nope he can carry on stumping up paying out millions for my pastime and passion and I may grace him with my presence if its a proper freebie , robbing bastard

Surely that can’t be right? It doesn’t bother me as it’s clearly better than nothing and the club can’t afford to keep giving them away, but I can’t see many bothering with this one.

Elfsborgs been on the phone.
I'll have the free ticket and your other mate can pay the full price for the other ticket

If we stay in this shitty league for much longer he will have to make all the tickets free.

This would have been a good offer to have done for the Plymouth game, get season ticket holders to bring other people at half price.  Instead now the offer is seen as an increase as 3 previous games were free.

Does not feel like a joined up thinking policy at present.

There is no joined up thinking policy as he does not have the right people at the club advising him.
Bring in someone like Varney or Kavanagh and start looking like we know what we are doing. 
I don't care how fucking hard his son can kick a football we are an embarrassment of a club.

I am looking forward to "Centre Circle" hospitality for this game - hope we are near TS, will assure him that he has our groups full support.

As a ST holder I have the choice to either participate or ignore offers such as this, in that respect it doesn't bother me one way or the other what TS/the club comes up with. The thing what does bother me is when will TS realise that whatever he does some of our supporters will never be happy!

Free away train travel will put a smile on my face.

Don't object to the promotional stuff just put a better team on the pitch, Charlton that is. 

CafcWest

Seems bit of a ridiculous 'offer' to me.  But then couldn't really understand the 3 free tickets.  Why not just offer all S/T holders one free ticket each...more likely that people would take up the offer and actually use them.  I undestand lots took up the 3 free seats offer - but many were left unoccupied...

Embarrassment of a club???

Can you explain that to me as I can’t for the life of me think how you can get to that

Are none of the staff capable of thinking through offers and promotions then ?

It’s not a brilliant offer by comparison to the free tickets before but it really doesn’t need former CEO types either. 

I agree it’s not necessarily joined up and is just something of a very minor offer but at least they are doing something. 

It will be of minimal take up I suspect but that is more to do with the football on offer currently not the  ticket choices.

I assume your whole comment was a joke but the bit in bold really tickled me

Just look what league we are in.
We shall remain in this league for a long time unless things change dramatically. 
And under Sandgaard they won't.

We are an embarrassment on the pitch.  But off it a club to look up to, free tickets for local schools and season ticket holders friends or family, what’s not to love.

Oh do shut up.
I agree fans on Twitter that become personal and abusive  are an embarrassment. 
But this is not Twitter it's Charlton life and it's a forum for sharing our opinions. 
Most on here think Sandgaard is doing a great job. 
Some of us don't. 
Get used to it.

Really don’t understand this offer, why have they made the offer, that a season ticket holder can buy two tickets and one will be free. My son and myself do not have seasons anymore, we pick and choose. Now this offer may well have appealed, and I could ring up and get two tickets for the price of one. 

However, I now have to bother a season ticket holding mate, to put himself out to do me a favour and order tickets, pay for them, and arrange to get them to me. There is no benefit in this offer to the season ticket holder themselves.

That’s bloody ridiculous, and based on recent performances, I will not be choosing this game. Though with ability to just ring up and sort for myself, I likely would have. Paying half the price to watch a poor halfway up the table team, would seem about fair.

PragueAddick

I start to get the impression that some people on here have not done the grocery shopping for 30 years or so. 

Or maybe Thomas and his team didnt realise that the punters won’t get it unless there was a huge banner above the announcement saying “Buy One, Get One Free!!!!!”

of course if they find Buy One get One Free on a six pack of Stella in Morrisons  they won’t be complaining like this, I suspect. 🤣

So this is where people take 2+2 and come to 5.

I don’t know anyone who thinks Sandgaard is doing a ‘great job’. I do though know many many people who probably think the abuse and stick he is getting from a very socially media vocal few is well OTT. But we are just repeating the same argument on multiple threads now. 

If you view is that we are an embarrassment of a club simply because we are in the third tier, then I also think that is OTT. You surprise me with that one mate

Agree.  There's obviously structural challenges given how off recruitment was in the summer.  Adkins didn't work out, and the questions over the continued use of the term 'Ladies' is frustrating in relation to the Women's team, however, turning us into a competitive outfit is just going to take time.  

Like everyone, I was hoping we would blow the league out of the water and of course frustrated at how the season's transpired, but you cannot fault TS' commitment and I think people are losing sight of that.  

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, he's not immune from criticism, but I think we've got to be a bit more understanding of how he's going about running the club.  I think every time (bar the women's team), he seems to have dropped the ball or changes need to be made, he's adapted imo.  

This summer is the key now.

It's not just that we are in the third tier though Dan.
Fuck me I've been supporting this club home and away for over 55 years. 
I've seen us play at over 80 grounds. 
I've seen plenty of  promotions and relegations. 
But the things Sandgaard says and does just doesn't sit well with me. 

I really hope I have got him all wrong and he does a great job as our owner. 
Time will tell I guess. 
In the meantime I won't comment on him anymore as it seems to anger people that I have a different opinion of him.

The fact that before a ball was even kicked in anger I stumped up for 2 season tickets - one for me & one for my lad. Now it appears I would have been better off buying just 1 ST & then getting a ticket o  a match by match basis, sometimes free. 

Also add to the fact that lots of people who cone on free tickets are'nt that bothered about watching the match. I spent the first 15 minutes of the Norwich game getting up & down to let latecomers pass & also having my view blocked by people getting into their seats. Almost missed Leko shot over the bar by having my view blocked.
