    Oh no, prepare for the outrage.

    Its gonna be a ballache for the ST holders moving, but at the end of the day its a large amount of money to be gained from the extra sales so I dont blame them for doing this.

    "We will also be revealing our new home kit before the game and I hope that is one of many reasons why fans will already be looking forward to 2015/16."

    Depends what it looks like , if it's nice then August can't come round quick enough
    If it's like this seasons shit kit then I'll be depressed all summer

    To be honest, that section of the ground was going to be packed with Cherries anyway.

    “I can’t thank Katrien and Charlton enough for such a gesture of good will to our supporters,” Mostyn told afcb.co.uk. “We have been in conversation ever since the initial allocation was snapped up so quickly, and she has worked miracles to find a way of accommodating us inside a stadium that has season ticket holders dotted throughout.

    “Although delighted that we are now in a position at this club to be taking sizeable travelling support to games up and down the country on a regular basis, it is not an ideal situation when loyal AFC Bournemouth fans are left disappointed by not being able to watch the Cherries on the road, and especially the last game of this magnificent season in particular.

    “Unfortunately the demand for tickets is always going to outweigh the supply at this point, but every single extra supporter we can get into The Valley on Saturday 2nd May will make a difference to Eddie and the boys in such an important game.”

    “We have pledged to cover all the extra costs that Charlton will incur with this process. I ask all our supporters who make the trip to show their gratitude to Charlton Athletic for finding a way to accommodate us, and hopefully we will see a fantastic atmosphere generated by both sets of fans on the day.”

    "The extra away fans will be located in blocks P, Q and R - as well as a small part of black N - in the upper tier of the West Stand"

    It wasnt long ago Bournemouth were an OK League 2 team who would get 3K at home on average,
    so their support is pretty much 75% glory hunters now.

    Have their fans ever seen a stand with an upper tier?

    The extra allocation is pure 'profit' on the section given , seeing as all costs for the allocation are paid by Bournemouth! Decent money maker , and I doubt KM will have let them go cheaply

    Are the season tickets holders in these seats happy about being moved about ?

    They're still taking the pee out of us after getting Kermorgant on the cheap !

    hope they repay us with an Addicks victory. Was fed-up when Narwich got promoted on our turf, don't want to see another team doing it.

    No.
    And that bit about "been in negotiations since initial allocation sold out" is bollocks.
    How could my other half buy a ticket for this match in block q if that were the case?

    Only downside to those extra tickets is that they're in the top tier... no pitch invasion IF we do go up ;) #afcb

    Many thanks to #cafc. Didn't have to do it but returned the favour we gave them in 2012 #afcb


    Are they forgetting that other favour we did them in 2014???

    What was the reason why Floyd rd was closed to Charlton fans after the game on Saturday?

    Just so we could be pissed about.

    You have to charge the price charged to home fans for equivalent seats. So north lower prices are what away fans pay in the Jimmy Seed.

    Those ends of the west upper get more pricey as you move centrally for home fans so same as away fans.

    I really don't care as long as we stop them from getting promoted.
