Protest for a fiver?8

Makes sense. Russell's boys should be firing on all cylinders by then and there be those that will want to come along to more games for the rest of the season if we get a good result. The club should pitch a pro rata adjusted season ticket at the same time to maximise potential sales and increase the support for the team for a promotion push1

crowd for that will be interesting0

That's £5 more than they were charging locals last Saturday.6
-
All tickets £5? Is that the same if someone wants to get them less than an hour before kick off on the day? It doesn't advertise otherwise.6

It's already been announced they are doing it again for Bury after Christmas. The Rochdale poster was there on Saturday when I went to the cashpoint.1

Another home game where a cheaper deal is available.
Northampton: Free (SE7 Residents or if you know someone who lives there)
Shrewsbury: £10 (If another ticket bought by a season ticket holder)
Rochdale: £5 (Anywhere in the ground)
Keep this up and certain season ticket holders would have paid more than the game by game purchasers.

But don't these games generally make a loss and depend on repeat custom?0

Not in the past and probably not now, given the likelihood of very poor crowds without the offer. The difficulty is they have an extra 4,000-5,000 tickets to sell now - even without using the Jimmy Seed Stand for home fans, which we did.ChiAddick said:But don't these games generally make a loss and depend on repeat custom?

So. Where do I collect my fiver?23

Five pounds to much for me.1

Every game every seat is a fiver, remember. If you *have* to go.4

"Football for free" would not get me back to The Valley until the Belgium fuckwits have gone

How? In all honesty i keep meaning to bring the GF to one but when we are poor dont want to spend £50 on tickets, i had the same predicament last season. I get all the people who want to stay away but i still want to try and get the better half more involved as she is not very keen on football and dont care about Charltonboggzy said:Every game every seat is a fiver, remember.

One of the reasons for the success of the early Footbal for a fiver offers was the way it was promoted by fans.
On social media, in schools, work places, clubs etc as well as by giving out flyers, putting up posters.
It was a huge success because it was an attractive offer widely promoted through 1000s of volunteers.
Can't quite see it getting the same level of support this season. It's a shame as it is a great way of introducing or re-introducing people to the Valley and as part of an overall marketing plan can be successful.
As an attempt (two attempts actually and who know they might make it three later in the season) to boost drastically declining attendances it just looks desperate.7 -
Probably yes but i can't imagine selling a few extra tickets for a fiver will make too much difference to RD. Even if it puts an extra 10k on the gate (which won't happen), what's an extra 50k to that old git?addick1965 said:

by poor i dont mean im poor , i meant Charlton are poor cant justify spending £50 and would like a cheap ticket to get the missus involved :P0

I'd hope that CARD will use such games to launch major protests and encourage as many fans as possible to come along and give the regime grief. Giving them a fiver is money well spent if we can make their lives difficult for the day.8

Club only gets a maximum of £4.166 per ticket - the rest is VAT.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

The only thing that would tempt me to spend any on Cafc and to go would be if there was some kind of massive in stadium protest planned for the day1
-
Tickets aren't on sale yet though so the advert is a bit premature.0
-
just cause a nuisance in the stadium, the extra stewarding, would by far outweigh the revenue made on tickets, another thing to do is spread out all over the ground so they have to put stewards in every bit of the ground, whats something we can do during the game that doesnt involve throwing stuff on the pitch?.2
-
Another way of looking at it is lets get as many as possible in the ground and make some noise and for only a fiver and show the owners but more importantly the team what support they could/would have with proper owners. Also of course an opportunity for good natured protests
Got this as probably my first home game of the season3
