If a potential new owner is at the Brighton game, is he more likely to be interested in buying Charlton if -SELR_addicks said:

I would hope any potential owner would just watch a video of the play off final if they want to see our potential.
Any intelligent potential owner doesn't make a decision based from a few extra thousand in a ground during a game while the club is at their lowest point in years.
1 There are 14,000 Charlton fans & 6,000 Brighton fans, making a 20,000 crowd and great atmosphere.
2 There are 6,000 Charlton fans & 6,000 Brighton fans.
The Brighton fans out sing Charlton all match & it is largely a great embarrassment to Charlton.
Edit - obviously I don't mean a potential owner is so thick they would buy us solely because of this.
I mean if they have done plenty of research and are keen, but have nagging doubts whether the support has been totally lost or can return very quickly, from let's be honest the @6,000 or so of us that turn up every game.4 -
He knows what he's doing by tweeting that at a time the majority of the fanbase have lost faith in TS and want a new owner.I-SAW-POUSO-PLAY said:

I think it's more to show "give them a reason and they will come" as opposed to a big crowd will make them buy it. Anyone could see that that is not the normal crowd.Covered End said:

If we need option 1 to convince them to buy then I'd be worried that they haven't done due diligence in checking how utterly shite this club is at present.Covered End said:

Will drop the asking fee considerably. If owners are sniffing around and TS is asking for too much, a month or two of zero revenue will open his eyes.se9addick said:
But he can’t just “leave”, he has to sell to someone else if the club is to continue in existence. Forcing Sandgaard’s hand is more likely to lead to a Southall than a sheikh.SELR_addicks said:
The quickest way to get TS out is to reduce revenue, wait for him to run out of money and get desperate to leave.swordfish said:
I thought he was losing money every month. I didn't realize he was making money and pocketing it? Anyone who looks at a one off play final game on which to base their judgement is deluded. That's probably what TS did and why he got involved with us.SELR_addicks said:

The cost to him of some not paying £15 a ticket for one match is so insignificant it's laughable to use as an excuse not to go.SELR_addicks said:

It’s really not about the money I’d say, it’s about the experience - if I was going to plough sone money in I’d want to know that I was gonna be sitting in a lively atmospheric stadium every other week, not an empty, soulless place - we know what it can be like but an investor from wherever may not - it’s worth a £15 gamble and getting off your arse for a few hours rather than impotently moaning on and on surely ???17

We're asking them to spend millions to buy and fund the club. The facts are important of course but I'd imagine for some owners there's an emotional aspect too - probably not for Roland but there clearly was for Sandgaard. A game like that could be a chance to experience what a packed Valley is like and feel rather than just see the potential the club has.se9addick said:
3. Neither, because we want an owner that has a brain in their head and isn’t basing any of their interest in buying us on whether we get a decent crowd for a one off cup match.Covered End said:

My only question regarding the Brighton match is whether there will be stabling provided for PV's white charger ?
I'm happy to provide Burger Boy with a bucket & spade to follow on behind.....2 -

I think you’re entirely missing the point. I doubt anybody wants a prospective owner who is ‘fooled’ by a fake crowd. But if they see a decent crowd it could be the final persuasion as to the potential, not necessarily in the short term in League 1 but the longer term.se9addick said:

It is to demonstrate that right now, Charlton are still a "biggish" club and can still attract @15,000 home fans in L1, in a cup game. Even though we are 17th and in one of the lowest positions for 100 years.
It is an up to date "show" that we still have good potential if there is a decent game to watch.

It may be desperate, but the fans are an asset as long as they are not disrepected and completely pissed off. We are desperate for something to get behind and if attending the Brighton game sheds even a glimmer of a possibility of a change, we owe it to ourselves to give it a shot.5

The prospective owners due diligence, because they are a credible individual who has a competent team advising them, will tell them what they need to know. Mad if people think anyone sensible is going to be influenced into buying a football club due to the attendance at a one off cup game against top league opposition when they will have all of the data on our regular attendances easily available to them. Still, I suppose it’s nice for people to feel liken they can do something positive to help their club.Covered End said:

If I was Peter Varney sitting next to him I would explain that the owner is a complete, incompetent basket case and that a new owner would quickly get a strong grateful fanbase behind him, pointing to the 2019 play offs as an example of what is possible.clb74 said:

I would hope any potential owner would just watch a video of the play off final if they want to see our potential.
