I also love my football history… I could bang on about Wolves or Luton Town or AC Milan if you prefer! In fact I did go deep into the history of Palace, Blackburn and Manchester United. But it is just that they get mentioned a lot!

I consider u our Millwall consultant - your analysis of their historical and current affairs is extensive - is it worth adding ‘I’m not a millwall fan’ to your name or avatar somehow ? Will stop u having to keep explaining - just trying to help
Thought this was worth a share, we have had a significant increase in match day attendance.
This might have influenced the spike with prices with the club thinking the demand has gone up anyway.
I am surprised at the jump, the Valley still felt empty bar about 4 games
In all fairness we spent a massive chunk of last season fighting a relegation battle, spent a massive chunk of season just gone fighting a promotion battle.
Figure makes sense to me.
It does, without stating the bleeding obvious, all 3 top increased attendance sides got promoted.
That's all football is, teams win, fans turn up, all the rest is just noise. We will start selling the Valley out if we are in a promotion race. It's unlikely of course, but all these other ticket strategy sales are nonsense long term. Just got to get a good football team on show and the fans come back.
Interestingly, Millwall - who had quite a good season, it seems to me - had the lowest average attendance in the Championship other than Oxford and Luton, who were basically at capacity. If you are right, why didn’t they do better (and I accept part of the answer is they can’t host 20,000 crowds)?
To be fair, the only time they looked like doing anything was in the last month or so of the season & that’s when they had a few home sell-outs in a row. For much of the season they flitted between being on edge of the relegation battle & lower mid-table, hence Harris resigning. Indeed, Millwall were 13th as late as 5th April, having been as low as 21st.
They are also hindered by having an away stand that holds 4,800, but is often restricted to 2,000 for big clubs or trouble clubs (Portsmouth only got 2,000). Plus away turn outs are much lower than other London clubs on the whole anyway, Stoke City took 1,300 as one example.
As an aside, the average was more than a 1,000 down from the previous season. Going from 16,540 (with 11 home sell-outs) to 15,492 this season (with 6 home sell/outs). This can most likely be attributed to the number of games that were on tv at 12:30pm on Saturdays & all midweek games being on tv. Millwall are very much a club that rely on walk ups.
They still filled 80-90% of home seats, despite a poor / middling season up until the last month.
NB: As an aside, six clubs averaged between c15,500 and 16,500, including Millwall. Now, as this is a thread about the season ticket prices (and knock on effect on match day prices), Millwall were probably the highest revenue generators amongst them, given their pricing. However, they do have London costs. But it shows how important every pound is, perhaps?
Why do I always feel like I need to have a wash after reading your posts?!? 🤷🏻♂️🤢
I have Henry. I have even had to say just because I know x amount about Manchester United’s 1930s history, or the fact I knew Crystal Palace once played in Kent, etc etc I am not fans of them either!!
Look, as I keep saying… I am more a Charlton follower than fan(atic). I am interested in all clubs. I have read up on the history of all clubs. I have a very good memory. I have a particular insight into Millwall due to family (I was taken by my granddad, as my nan worked the pools around The Den) and I sometimes go with the missus. I get that the mere mention of them upsets a lot of Charlton fan(atic)s, but I have not written a single trolling post. I have just offered an insight, often when people have posted something that is factually wrong or misrepresented. Again, I get why that’s upsetting for people that simply want to run them down. But as a history lover & someone who enjoys facts & stats, I just can’t help but say ‘well, actually…’
However, I think is a bit sad that a grown man is stooping to accusing someone of ‘trolling’ just because they don’t like a certain football club. Grow up. And as an aside, if I have a soft spot for anyone, it is Tottenham Hotspur. I asked for a Spurs kit for Christmas 1987, as got taken by a mate to Spurs v Portsmouth (1-0 to Pompey!). That was the team I loved. But was whisked off to a Charlton game by my dad, who refused to get me the Spurs kit! I had bought a Spurs scarf though, and took it to a Charlton v Spurs game, much to my dad’s displeasure.
I’m like those army kids that don’t have an accent etc, as they are always moving around. I follow Charlton, have a soft spot for Spurs and Millwall. But used to go to Wimbledon games in mid 90s to see the top players of the day too. Sorry 🤷🏻♂️

Mate, any club you care to bring up, I could probably give you a good history lesson on!
Interestingly, I find it is men that get like this over football. Female fans tend to enjoy talking about football in general far more. They aren’t so into willy waving etc. Obviously.

Haters are gonna hate.
i don't see any hate, i see you getting a bit sensitive and nearly blowing your cover completely - i'm trying to help because although its a bit sad to spend so much time pretending to be something when everybody can see through it, it is quite amusing and there ain't much football to discuss atm.

I think it is the likes of Henry getting sensitive, just because I don’t sleep under a Charlton duvet with posters of Curbs on the wall, with a voodoo doll of Lyle Taylor under my arm!

Okay, i can agree there re the 'sensitive' one but he isn't the issue here - i think there is a way i can help you in understanding which forum u should really be spending your time on given your specific interests. Would you mind answering the following four questions? Some call it the millwall bingo quiz and can be very accurate. We can then try and 'profile' you and help with your identity issues:
1. Do you like pie and mash and would you be deeply offended, in fact froth at the mouth, if somebody said you prefer gravy to liquer? 2. Do you feel uncomfortable if you're not wearing a Lacoste and a flat cap? 3. Do you spend most of your time at the den doing throat slitting signs to teenage away fans? 4. Do you wish you weren't the only team in south london never to have won a major trophy?
Its a simple yes / no answer for each please, which i hope will be simple enough.

So you practiced your trolling your own dad before you came here??!! 🤦🏻♂️😉
How would people feel if Charlton introduced this way of earning extra points?
All I'll say is that I wouldn't earn any extra points 😂
I think that is a good idea. A way to get people to engage with women`s teams. For me it would be good if our women`s home games are played on weekends when the men`s team are playing away.

Not something I would be in favour of. The currant system for points is ensuring the regular attendees get tickets for games where demand will out strip demand, and in the main this works very well.

This is a Charlton forum.
