    I repeat, arise Sir @superclive
  • Woke up this morning to see 2 more ‘closed’ Scarf threads, just wondering if we’ve taken things to new heights, and made them for every club in league one!
  • To put the icing on the cake we need a photo/ video of Charlie and gang welcoming the Canadians from the helicopter.

    Just had an embarrassing email from the club with a clock ticking down the hours, minutes and seconds to KO.
    What the actual fuck.
    Anyone would think it's the FA Cup final or a playoff final.
    Talk about overplay a poxy league one fixture. 
    My money is on the clock finishing at least 5 minutes before KO anyway.

    My countdown clock suggests the game doesn’t kick off until 1.30am tonight. At least I’ll be able to park close to the ground

    When are the Charlton/Crawley half and halfs out?


  • If the scarves were their idea, then the data is wrong.

    Genuinely wouldn’t surprise me if this explains the delay in getting the Southend tickets on sale. The ticket office has probably been told to hold off on absolutely every operation that doesn’t involve this bloody Wrexham fixture. 

    Focus on getting more tourists in the ground, but sod the loyal supporters and their away trip which doesn’t make us any money…

    Imagine being this angry at some stock email marketing. 

    Grandad, it’s ok - you don’t have to do what the scary clock says

    It does genuinely look that way. Extra stupid when people could be buying in person today. 

    Southend's home allocation is on general sale too. £18 per adult behind the goal so presumably the same for us.

    We've moved the kick off so it suits the American audience better.

    At least you got one. I might forget about the game by 3o'clock.

    I'm not watching today, just nipping in to the superstore for a scarf then back to Greenwich for more beer and a scotch egg from the market

    Firstly I'm not angry.

    I just find the way that the club have handled a game in league one a tad embarrassing. 

    I never received a quarter of the amount of emails when we were in the Prem playing the likes of Man utd or Liverpool. 
    The way the club is treating a poxy game against Wrexham is quite ridiculous. 

    Ok, I was being cheeky. 

    Not having a go, but your reply is a perfect microcosm of the sad state of affairs as a Charlton fan, our (mine too) overblown sense of self and why people are so annoyed at this high turnout - it reminds us of how far we’ve fallen. “When we were in the Prem” - mate it’s ancient history.

    Case in point: I still spend a silly amount of time getting annoyed and jealous that crappy ‘small’ clubs like Bournemouth and Brighton are in the premier league. Its deluded. 

    We are a generic league 1 team and Wrexham (!) are the big draw. Our manager continually sets us up not to lose, and we see games like this as a commercial opportunity. Fucking sucks, but that’s the world we live in.

    The words “highest paid attendance” suggests we got 20k+ with freebies at some point in the last 5 years, I presume in the TS era but no idea what game? Brighton in the cup maybe?
    Bad grammatical English.

    "Highest paid attendance" would mean that the club paid supporters to attend.

    It should be "highest PAYING attendance" 
    Both sound wrong to me.
    Surely ’highest match revenue’ is better.

    The crucial announcement today should be that all the turnstiles are fully operational.
    Get the fundamentals right.

    Either way it makes us sound tinpot.

    Anyway, can't wait to go to "Deadpool's", formally known as Crossbars and have a few beers

    That’s because we were in the prem? Making money. Selling out each week. 

    You genuinely can’t see the difference to the situation now?

    They do this every home match, here’s the email ahead of the Birmingham match. 






    I agree that they’ve really gone to town on marketing for todays game, I think I’ve had about 870 emails from the club this week and I’m pretty sure we’ve now reached the legal threshold for harassment. But the outcry around the marketing, much on this thread, from our own fans is getting slightly hysterical now. It’s an opportunity for a loss making business to generate additional revenue, and it looks like they’ve done a good job of it. Don’t worry though, normal service will resume for the Exeter home match in a couple of weeks and we’ll be playing in a half empty stadium which appears to be the preference of many of our supporters.

    I’ve blocked the club from emailing me! Ridiculous numbers for a tiny league one fixture.

    Except the Exeter game is an away game & will be played in a nearly full stadium.
