    Just about to get a cuppa. Not sure why you'd need updating on that but there you are.

    So roughly 800 seats cannot be sold due to segregation?
  • 400 I believe?

    Just under 400. This is a very complicated subject, because there are seats you cannot sell at £5, but we think 26,500-26,700 is the maximum. We are looking at how we can release the maximum number for sale.

    Would love to see 26,000 +

    The players, staff and board deserve it.

    OK so a lot of the fans will be youngsters who don't know the songs or know who the players are, but so what!? Whatever people say about "Little old family club" Charlton, I will never be ashamed of it. I was first taken to the valley aged 10. I didn't know who most of the players were apart from a few. Now, over the footballing season, I will go to more football weekends away and good days out (this season in particular) than a lot of mates put together.

    The attendance figure for the top-six encounter swept through the 24,000 mark on Friday morning, and it's hoped that the final gate could smash the 37-year-old post-war record for a third-tier fixture in SE7, which stands at 26,104 for Crystal Palace's visit in January 1975.

  • Just seen the OS article about this. Refers to Stevenage fans not being allowed to purchase leftover tickets. Without wanting to advertise on the internet anything that suggests that they may in fact be able to get away with it, but Stevenage aint exactly up north - how are the box office going to invigilate whether anybody who turns up and wants a ticket tomorrow is a Stevenage fan or not?

    This!

    After seeing what the people in Stevenage looked like at the away game I would have just Jeremey Kyle standing next to the ticket office to do some recruitement.

    Why can't our club make some phone calls to red card members tonight and ask them to come along tomorrow?.

    People on the database would already been targeted by post or email

    There have been adverts in the local press and all over the website.

    If they haven't got the message yet they most likely aren't coming anyway.
