This is a good home cup game and Varney’s plea aside, is it really that difficult for people to pay £15 to go to a home cup game? This is a site for football fans right, isn’t that what football fans do ? Why so difficult to attend a reasonably priced home cup game ffs
Lots of reasons why a wide spectrum of people may find it difficult to attend.
If this was either Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool etc, a lot (not all) of those reasons would not suddenly apply. Remember ‘thick and thin’, ‘good times / bad times’ etc, our support is very very fickle and dare I say it, a lot more fickle than many other clubs
Energy crisis, cost of living crisis, week before Christmas. I don't think it would make much different in this climate, I include the current on and off field goings on in that.
plus, if we got one of the teams you mentioned, it would be on tv 😂. Watch it home in the warm and turn it off when their 4th goes in.
I wasn't planning on going, then I had second thoughts but now I can't go because of other Christmas related plans. If we had arsenal or Liverpool, I still wouldn't change those plans. Maybe if it was in nov or jan, but not a week before Christmas.
I do agree with you to a certain extent, but it's not as black and white as to why people aren't going. A big reason is because the club is a mess and I can see why people are not as fully committed as in times gone by.
Do you seriously think people wouldn’t show up for say arsenal ?

Do you really have to ask?
Why support a club when you can’t be bothered going ?
How about everyone does what they want to do? You wanna go , I don't want to go so I won't. What's the problem? You booked your train ticket for Exeter away? I have.
Exeter away, well done for wining the earliest train booked award ! That’s amazing, your ‘loyal supporter’ medal is in the post

That a no then?
I’ll be there, but no I haven’t bought my train tickets yet, why so obsessed by buying train tickets ?
Everyone’s different - Exeter away is the football supporting equivalent of solitary confinement - Brighton will be like being gang raped in the showers

And buying your train tickets early means you are prowpa Charlton….
Two tickets bought for me and my old man. I'm coming down from Derbyshire. Three tickets being bought for my mate, his brother and his Dad (Brighton fans). They are travelling from Los Angeles and Derbyshire respectively too. I'd like to say coming all the way from LA just for the game, but nobody is THAT stupid!

I came back from LA to watch the play off final

I'll say it again. We have the most bizarre fanbase going
I reckon if we had a CL poll on who goes to Charlton games, it would show that a handful go to all/nearly all games and I could likely name many of them.
A reasonable number go to most home games and the majority go to some home games and rarely if ever go away.
In fact I reckon a substantial minority possibly never go more than once or twice a season if that.
It is what it is and I'm not digging out the supporters that rarely go and I recognize that many can't go because of distance, family, illness, age etc etc.

Some people I know are worried about putting their heating on. I'm a governor at a school and there are parents who are asking the school for help because they can't afford Christmas presents this year. It's a toss up for some people whether they heat the house or buy stuff for Christmas. On that basis, yes, there are people who wouldn't go because it's arsenal.
"sorry love, you will need to put a jumper on tonight, I've spunked the gas money on a ticket in the north upper".
me personally, I wouldn't be fussed about a premiership team in a cup. How many of arsenals star players would play? I would want to see their World Cup stars, not squad players and youngsters.
Theres Irony, a post about being unable to afford heating, followed by an advert for watches at £43,640 or £178,770.

If it was this week then some fans would have trouble getting there due to the weather conditions, rain strikes & (for me) the freezing fucking temperature.
Next week I believe the temperature is going to rise but probably still be 6°-8° by kick off. No fun sitting out on the open for 2 hours watching us get thrashed.

Why support a club when you can’t be bothered going ?
It's not about bothering for most there's a myriad of reasons. Here's 5 simple ones.
It's a midweek game during a period that is very busy for most.
It's not 2 minutes down the road for most.
It's an expensive time of year
There's an energy cost crisis meaning many people are having to save on top of the already expensive time of year.

Couldn't agree more. Shouldn't need Varney's plea to get a good crowd for this. Last 16 cup game under the lights against a team doing well in the premier league for £15. Likely to be our biggest game of the season given we are not going to go up/down.
Not going down? Hmmmm, have you seen the league table over the weekend?

Tbf to the miserable one of no trousers, he goes to 80% of the aways and saving a LOT on advanced purchase tickets makes sense.

It's none of your business.
Point 2, what mileage from The Valley does it become "not two minutes down the road for most"?
How many games at The Valley do you attend each season btw?

Agreed, but maybe us fans should consider less talk of what a special and unique club we are and recognize that Brighton will bring 6,000 fans, when it seems like half the CL posters are opposed to attending, for all sorts of reasons, that don't prevent Brighton fans travelling up from the coast.

exactly - get yourselves to the brighton game whether u like it or not or shut the f@@k up would be my advice - if u can't be arsed to do that, why should another rich bloke - as ridiculous as he will probably turn out to be - decide to waste his money on us?
