How many were at the ground last night? Not even half of 40,000. We're a long, long way from even needing a ground that size.
Wouldn't mind ze Germans at all. They certainly know a thing or two about football as well as how to run a football club properly. Or any business for that matter.0 -

When we were in the premiership we sold out 28,000 every week. I understand we could easily have cleared over 30,000 every week. Now factoring the fact that we could have a bit of money and therefore some named players and suddenly it's not impossible.The Red Robin said:How many were at the ground last night?

I love the valley as much as the next person but if someone wants to come in potentially take us to a bigger ground and a bigger fan base......
At the end of the day nobody knows what is going to happen and all of this is pointless conjecture. Let's just wait and see what happens. As usual there is never a dull moment being a Charlton fan

I was sitting in the Lower West last night and noticed a bloke bearing a striking resemblance to John Candy up in the directors box. I'd not seen him before (not that I get to the Valley that often nowadays) but my impression was that I was looking at an American citizen. A potential investor perhaps?0

As you say it is not yet a live issue but I should point out that we did NOT sell out 27,100 every week. Some of that shortfall may have been away fans not taking up full allocation. I'll leave Airman to advise on whether there was excess demand for 30,000 plus every week, but I'm a bit sceptical. I think the feeling was that if we could have taken the next building stage to 32,000 it would have been worthwhile but would still have taken a lot of hard graft by the marketing and sales team.
And we did not sell out our Wembley play off allocation either :-(. Sorry but its true. While I can hardly bear to look, I believe the Spanners have taken a bigger crowd to Wembley than we did that day.

I'm going down to the place tonight
To see if I can get a taste tonight
A taste of something warm and sweet
That shivers your bones and rises to your heat

We were quite a long way short of selling out every week in the Premier League, although we worked hard to fill the ground as far as possible (for example selling 4-5,000 tickets @ £10 for Wigan/Blackburn to schools and football teams in 2005/06. When the board made the Man United and Chelsea tickets £45 we failed to sell them out. Prior to the groups initiative there was quite a lot of dumping of free tickets via the community scheme (I use the term advisedly because it wasn't a controlled process and tended to be last minute). Our gates were also underpinned by attractively priced season tickets.PragueAddick said:@swisdom

However, we did sell out our Wembley allocation and these were on restricted sale, at least once Sunderland had sold out. As CASC officials Rock Spectacle and I sold the last few for the Olympic gallery on the Saturday morning from a mobile ticket office in Harvey Gardens because the club itself was closed. Millwall's tickets were on general sale.

I suppose if he sat on you it would be Candy Crush0

In the premiership you have games versus big clubs, where if you have enough away capacity, we could easily exceed 27k crowds.0

Prague. Yes I suspected that as well (Wembley play off allocation). That's why it's even more galling for me. I had to pay a ticket agency £90 each for 3 tickets to see the game. I couldn't get one from the club. Why, cos they dished them out like smarties and many must have been passed on to irreputable people/businesses.PragueAddick said:@swisdom

I wouldn't have missed it for the world, and thankfully i didn't and we saw one of the best games ever to grace Wembley0 -
I stand corrected; but Sunderland took more than us, did they not? If so how come they had a bigger allocation?Airman Brown said:

If we had 32,000 capacity in 2004, what do you reckon about ability to sell that out on a regualr basis?
