    To make up a £25k cost, assuming Charlton take 2,000 if the game is on tomorrow and 400 if it's re-arranged for a Tuesday night, they would need every fan to spend, including tickets, £15 which I don't think is unreasonable. There may be slightly higher costs associated with the additional crowd (maybe they need more stewards and additional police presence) but I doubt it would be that high.

    I wonder if you can just hire a pitch heater at short notice though and that may be the issue ?

    Wouldn't be that short notice though would it? If you follow the weather forecasts then it's been clear for at least 4 days tat there was a possibility of this fixture being put in doubt.

    Isn't it 1 o'clock the inspection, fingers crossed.

    But I'd imagine even if the game isn't postponed at this inspection, a further inspection will be scheduled for 10am tomorrow, at which point it will be cancelled, with the message being communicated around 10.30am, after most Addicks have set off.

    Few more gone now. Games at Brentford, MK Dons, Accrington, Barnet and Macclesfield all off.
  • Less than an hour until we know, and I think we all know deep down it is off.
  • Club just put on their twitter feed that their is a pitch inspection at 1pm :-
    Chesterfield FC @ChesterfieldFC
    There will be a pitch inspection at 1pm this afternoon ahead of the game against Charlton

    Swiftly followed by Andy Giddings from Radio Sheff saying the same but adding that Sheridan says its currently 50/50 that it will go ahead :-

    Referee's tend to err on the side of caution on these things, so 50/50 means off .

    Good to see they are keeping everyone informed. The News bleedin' Shopper knew that yesterday.

  • If the manager thinks its 50/50 it is off. As above, managers are always overestimating these things as they want the game on.

    Phone hacking scandal??


    Got trains booked ages ago and was making a weekend of it elsewhere. So if games called off so be it, as long as the trains are running we're still going (and hopefully able to come back again!)

    You'd think the Polish would be better equipped for this sort of weather.

    feel like my life is on hold waiting for news. Don't think I can face another weekend without Charlton.

    How things change in just over a year, then we would have been praying for a postponement so we would not have to watch Charlton.

    What a disaster! Just think of the 1,000's and 1000's 86 people who took advantage of the Groupon promotion! No tick-worthy tricks for them!

    It makes me laugh just thinking about that. Possibly the funniest thread I've ever read here !
