Looking back to the night of the draw the amount of people that said in the thread we would barely sell 5k and it would be a total embarrassment for us...
So have they’ve already received the first batch of tickets? If so where are they?
You can collect them from … Saturday. Recipe for chaos.
Pain in the arse. Specifically chose collection because of postal issues and was getting Jnr to pick up this week as I can’t make Saturday due to rail strikes. He can’t pick up on Saturday as he’s on a 12hr shift trying to save the lives of the masses in SE7. Always assumed they’d be available during the working week. Oh well, looks like a phone call tomorrow to try and arrange a collection at OT
Also shows how much of our support numbers wise have become non-regular in recent years but remain emotionally engaged. Hopefully means that support is not fully lost long term
Never to be seen again don’t let the I’ve rocked back up for united away fool you there sensible enough to have packed in the misery yonks ago
Mobile units seems to be a sensible idea, imagine it’ll be sorted alphabetically. Open all day too, without tempting fate, think the club have got this spot on so far.
Well I am in the Utd West Stand behind the goal, international suite. open 3 hours before the game, lounge access, free tee, coffee and biscuits half time. £44 a person NO Charlton fans will be admitted Lucky I am from Derbyshire now
Needs must!
Red Army !
Just make sure you where a baggy track suit and tell everyone your Mad Fer It. Everyone will be none the wiser.
Finally my username has some relevance to Charlton

I am happy to admit that I said we would not sell out however I am over the moon we have and will be well supported.
I did read other comments such as mine but cannot recall anybody including myself saying it would be an embarrassment.

To be fair I was cross quoting different people when I say that - had many an LOL after the draw when I said we would easily sell out, the embarrassment part was relating to the logistical side which I accept remains to be seen (but what the club has done so far re- laying on transport etc hasn't been too bad at all)

Likewise, I thought we would really struggle to sell them. But even if we had ‘only’ managed 4-5k it would not have been an embarrassment at all, given the recent and current circumstances.
I think it not being on TV has helped a bit and I probably underestimated the generation who have never seen us play there, or anywhere of note.
Cracking support, let hope we at least go down with a fight. The travelling hordes deserve that.

I think this is a big piece of the puzzle.
The last time we played there was in 2007.
For me personally, being 14 y/o at the time, I would’ve probably not been allowed to travel even if I wanted to!
We have a whole generation of adult fans (18-30 ish) who’ve never had the opportunity to go and see our club play at these grounds.

And even for those of us who have gone, it's an eternity since we were last there. And in the PL the away allocations are much smaller, and 20000 ST holders back then made it extra hard to get tickets too.
The last big Cup away games at PL clubs from memory were Fulham and Tottenham (at the old ground), nice grounds but a step down from the glamour of Old Trafford

About 99% of folks said that about Brighton. About 75% said we'd never sell out. Have faith.
Fantastic effort, this armchair fan is most impressed.
Watching all this excitement with extreme jealousy. Please make sure to make some noise for those of us who can’t travel. 🙏

my mate next to me isn’t coming either him his dad and uncle would also normally be there
“Can’t see us taking more than 3K there for a midweek game . Getting tickets won’t be a problem.”

All free travel from memory…
Was Liverpool midweek in 96 free travel?

Those 6 tickets I was furious about not being able to get when we were sold out I don’t need now there are some available.
