What is usual for midweek. That seemed very low yesterday. I know it was cold but any other reason? I am bringing 8 colleagues to the next midweek home game and if it is the same none of them will ever come back again.. 😂
6 - 6.5k looked about right for last night's attendance It wasn't so cold really, certainly not below freezing I think the availability of legal streaming for non-Saturday games is beginning to bite. Compared to travel costs for many, £10 is a no brainer. That's not even 2 return fares to Dartford on the train. Whether or not the expanded CPZ restrictions have been imposed yet I also think the perception that parking's going to be a nightmare will be taking chunks out of the midweek evening crowd. That's certainly common enough among my cohort
This is exactly what the EFL want by allowing streaming for midweek, more and more will give cold nights a miss and the crowds will continue to decline.
Charlton have made the issue even worse by enhancing their own coverage.
As a club we really should be looking at how we can get them local teenagers who were there last night back, but paying to get in and adding to those of us still going.

Not rocket science - reduce the ticket price.
Season tickets and per match tickets are simply too expensive relative to alternate spend when people are facing choices - the product cannot justify it.
4 seasons and counting of league one dross a fixture card as dull as most of us and general apathy has set in, where if you're not jumping round the room tugging yourself off after an 85th minute dodgy penalty victory against bottom of the table Cheltenham then you are frowned upon cos we have the 3 points whooopppeee fucking do
it's shit and not gonna be enticing to anyone , just our brainwashed brethren

You couldnt give them away last night. I love a midweek game under the valley lights, but 90% of my group with ST's stayed at home.
Down to the die hards and a few overseas visitors To London. Though I guessed a crowd of 9000. Think 6000 to low a number. The fame last night is nit selling Charlton to any one but us fools.
The main reason attendances are low is because we're a midtable L1 team. Add in a conveyor belt of managers meaning there's no connection to fans and fairly uninspiring football why would people show up in their droves? I can't imagine a neutral finding Charlton an attractive option
Plus as much as I love The Valley the matchday experience in itself isn't great. Beer is better but the food isn't great and neither is the service. Then of course small attendance = poor atmosphere.

cynical but all too realistic .. too easy for fans to pay a tenner, sit in a favourite armchair in the warm with a cup of hot cocoa and watch the 'action' on the telly .. OR, not to bother at all
I got to the station on the way to the match to find all trains cancelled (should have checked before I left) so ended up watching from my sofa. Didn’t feel as though I’d missed a classic.

But probably about 6,500 at 'The Valley'
Yes, loads of groups of yoof in the Curbs Stand

That and the amount of midweek games.
We could be playing in the national south and it wouldn’t bother me.
