  • Saturdays debacle probably wiped out a lot of fence sitters 
    My thoughts exactly. Tonight will be my last game for a few weeks at least.
  • Saturdays debacle probably wiped out a lot of fence sitters 
    Too true.  Hardly an advert to get em flocking back to the fold. I never thought i would have to revise my 0-9 prediction policy but...
  • Home turnout for tonight not looking anywhere near as encouraging as hoped :-( 
    How many were you expecting?

    Not expecting, but given all the factors in my last post I was hoping we could draw out 14k home fans and 20k+ crowd. That still would have left 7,000 empty seats. Now it looks like there might be 10-12k empty.

    You couldn't pay me to go its gonna be an absolute tonking with this bunch

    Just found out I have no trains home after the game tonight. I'll still go but won't be looking forward to a convoluted journey home. 
    South eastern are b*****ds. I knew they changed the time table but stopping the Charlton to Bangkok service is unforgivable

    You must need to change a few times to get to Bangkok.
    I knew someone was going to come out with a comment like that! But I got two responses, even better.

    It's not Southeastern for once, it's Southwestern out of Waterloo. And, no, they don't have a direct Bangkok train either!

    14k home fans is a big ask given the circumstances, that is a championship league game crowd. 

    Given the fact its a cup game so expect reserves to be playing, the general apathy around the place, the weather, so close to Christmas etc I would have thought 8k home fans even with PV banging the drum.

    ditto - can get to London Bridge but nothing on Southwestern from Waterloo. rickety old District Line it will have to be.
  • Certain Peter Varney was banging the drum for a reason. Sure we will hear something from him before tonight is over.

    Glad you are optimistic !

    PV has been trying for years to help sort out our club, without any success.

    Surely a plane would be a better option anyway.

    Wouldn’t you be better off getting a plane! A lot quicker than a train. 2 weeks quicker I reckon 
  • Maybe this lot have just been brought in to attract a new owner and PV is trying to help that but then how does that square with appointing a new manager already ?

    I did wonder that. Holden aside, could Sandgaard have appointed them to find a new owner, with that vehicle being the SE7 ltd company?

  • I think there’s scope for a new board game as well as a reality tv show at charlton - the permutations would have a chess genius struggling

    You play out a season and each time u pass go u pick up the tv money - u have squad numbers instead of properties - along the way u buy and sell players, u sell season tickets etc etc but it gets really interesting when you land on a takeover square - be like picking up a goal to jail card or pay property arrears - you then go into a labarynth of possible outcomes and will resume the game stronger or weaker depending on how u play it - when’s the next dragons den entries in by ? I’m on it

    "All passengers for Bangkok should take the Alton train and change at Basingstoke for the rail replacement bus service to Chiang Mai, where a connecting train to Bangkok can be caught. Please note that there will be no toilets on this bus."

    No it’s not a proper glamour tie but looking on the ticket thing and assuming tickets are still on sale up to ko I reckon the home areas open could get near to a sell out

    Isnt the East half empty? How many walks up are you expecting

    Edit: sorry Doucher tbf loads more sold than I had thought in the middle blocks of rhe Curbs 
  • I wouldn’t fancy being in the lower west with Brighton behind and above, what an odd decision given we are often told we couldn’t give away fans part of the West for safety reasons
