People that eat when they’re hungry sounds more healthy than people eating just because the clock has turned 12 whether they are actually hungry at that time or not.LargeAddick said:
If it were just about meeting mates for a pint and a chat and the football is secondary then why not just meet down the pub? The beer would be better and cheaper and you could spend more on it because you wouldn’t be spending the money on a match ticket.J BLOCK said:
Because for a lot of people going to Charlton isn't just about the football. If it was, a lot more people wouldn't go after the last 15 years of garbage served up.eaststandmike said:

Do you sit in the family stand Golfie? It could be me you’re describing although to be fair it is normally nearer to 3:35 I head down.golfaddick said:Hope not. Already too many people who think that the first half kicks off at 3.10, finishes at 3.40 & restarts around 4.10pm.
It also amazes me that they dont seem to care about the game but have to stop on the stairs when there is an attack commencing to watch the action.
If you dont care enough that you have to get your pie & pint at 3.40 then ffs piss off & don't block the view of those wanting to watch the match.
Fucking plastics.I’ve been going home and away for about 40 years so not sure I’m a plastic, but I do know that the half time pint and chat with my pals and family has been the best part of the Valley experience for much of the last 15 or so mostly shite years. And if you can handle watching us scrape draws against the likes of Stevenage or Fleetwood without alcohol then all power to you but I’m afraid you will still have to stand up for a millisecond in the 35th and 55th minute to let me get back to my seat because I can’t! Sorry!
I too find it infuriating when people arrive late, leave ten minutes before half time, come back ten minutes after the second half has started, then twenty minutes later need a wee so go out again. In the process missing at least 30 minutes of the game. Same applies with people eating burger and chips. At four in the afternoon?0 -
The 15 minute shouting match between the bloke who insisted on standing near the front of H block and the steward and crowd behind him was quite entertaining.LargeAddick said:

Very much doubt that, got to be easier ways for a tout to make money!letthegoodtimesroll said:This could be all very embarrassing if it ends up with less than 20k in the ground. That initial rush of ticket sales was probably just touts thinking they’ll going to be able to make a fortune selling them on.3 -
If I get asked for my autograph they will be told go away impolitely.Redmidland said:It must be me, I don't get the hype around Wrexham, just because a couple of 'celebrities' own them!
I could understand if we're selling out because of football, but just because some Hollywood stars, may or may not be there, and may or may not be seen, is stupid! However if it boosts the clubs coffers all well and good, but I reckon die-hard fans, may have their day upset by 'autograph' hunters!4 -
That's because those ultras scare the away fans off.SporadicAddick said:
No, but they fill the majority of the ground with their own supporters, not tourists or those there primarily to see the other team.shine166 said:
Do Palace play teams worse than us very often ? Considering the level of clubs they play, I'd try find the positive if we have more turn up.SporadicAddick said:
But not because we are good (relative to them) but because our opponents are seen as a bigger attraction at The Valley than the home team. That’ll put them in their place.Athletico Charlton said:I hope we sell out as it would be great for Charlton to have a bigger home match attendance in a L1 match this season than either of Millwall or Palace in the leagues above.
PS only joking.0 -

FFS its Wrexham. I don’t think I’ll be flying back from Spain for the match.4

Haven't read this whole thread so I'm probably repeating what's already been said but I'm really not arsed by it. I often have a few tourists around me at games, as it's no doubt one of the easiest ways to get the chance to see an English football game without breaking the bank. I'd be annoyed if anyone celebrated a Wrexham goal, but in terms of the atmosphere, it's so poor nowadays anyway I expect this to make it a bit better.0

Queues for the turnstiles, beer and toilets...can't let golfie be the only doom merchant on here3

The more the merrier as far as I’m concerned. It will be great to see the place nearly full again even if it isn’t exactly for the right reasons.As for the usual suspects moaning about queues for drinks and turnstiles , I don’t know why you don’t just stay in bed .9

Wrexham haven't even sold out there away end.0

M1 closed for Wrexham coaches and Southeastern putting on 18 specials an hour from London Bridge.
Sadiq Khan has said it's an honour to welcome Wrexham to London and strengthen the bond between two great towns.
Starmer is expected to give Ryan Reynolds and the bloke who runs the boozer in the documentary a tour of Whitehall pre match and King Charles is flying back from Oz for the occasion and will be happily posing for selfies in the fan zone.28 -
Assume Starmer will want complimentary tickets, are any available? Why didn't we move the game to Wembley?
Also Wembley would be more convenient for Wrexham fans not having to trek across London.9 -
Well not 4pm the afternoon for burger and beer! That's small cake and cup of tea time. 😉 Life is for living.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Again, it's not that and I struggle to see how people can't understand that it's all encompassing. It's not just about watching Charlton struggle for 90 minutes, it's not just about drinking pints, it's not just chatting about football. It's all of it.LargeAddick said:

If people want to watch 10 minutes of Charlton and chat to their mates for 30minutes, then so be it. No one has a monopoly on how others should enjoy their day at football. If you want to watch 90 minutes then do that, don't get "infuriated" when others'day at the football is different to yours.6 -

Valley Gold tickets for Saturday only available on Ticketmaster now. There will be a ballot system and surge pricing....good luck everyone.15

How someone spends their time at football just shouldn't bother you, unless it directly impacts your day. I.e. they've gone for a toilet break but decided you are the toilet.
Happy the place is looking like 20k plus, let's hope we try and market games as much as have done for this one rather than it being a one off.6 -
I’m allergic to people , so won’t be enjoying this one .
kids are back in town so I’ll have to pretend I’m up for a wanky league one piss shit house game8 -
Greenwich Council will be rubbing their hands...just think of all the revenue those parking tickets will generate.Airman Brown said:
For anyone with moderate mobility it’s been fine with crowds of 10-12,000-ish despite the restrictions. I think next Saturday will be completely different because the area south of the park will be overloaded, which will probably push people the wrong side of Shooters Hill Road. It’s an unknown scenario, because we’ve never had a 20,000 crowd with these restrictions and no one, certainly including the council, can know until it happens. I suspect a lot of people will be driving around looking for a spot after 2pm.AndyG said:
Thanks for that 😂Airman Brown said:I think the parking will be a big issue next Saturday.2 -
Looking forward to the game but this has a feel of ‘Operation Hollywood’ and we all know how these types of games pan out, don’t we!0

It's Wrexham ffs...what's all the hype about some B list ponsey no hopper maybe turning up, so what, he couldn't give a flying fig who you are...calm down all you teeny autograph hunters, and watch the bloody game...🙄1

A near sell-out crowd. Some of you are undoubtedly going to end up with a kid behind you who spends the entire 90 minutes kicking the back of your seat.
Enjoy!15 -
The experience of a flat warm pint in a plastic cup, costing £6 a pint. You can’t get that in the local spoons!!!!timken said:Great posts on this thread from golfaddick.I can just picture him chuckling away at the number of people who bite on his bait.well done golfer.
I must say it has always struck me as weird that people (lots) are so keen the q up to get a drink at half time at a football match when they can get as many pints as they like down their necks as soon as the game finishes.what is so special about a pint at 3.45 that people are willing to go to such inconvenience to get it0
