in General Charlton
The Standard has remembered that we exist again! Decent coverage of the protests, even though the topic is primarily about ticketing prices:

    Yeah the Price of Football being released was worrying because I thought the media would take the stance of... "Well at least we've got cheap tickets" so the fact we've the most expensive season ticket and match-day ticket in League One pleases me for that reason

    But as KM will point out - Barcelona don't offer the unique match day experience that Charlton does.

    It's only right that people are charged more to see Foley than they are Messi.

    Negative media spin though with the title, why not lead with "Arsenal fans pay nearly 10x the amount Barcelona fans do and they win fuck all!"

    Gou can't tell from the initial link that actually our season ticket is the cheapest in London

    Of course ours are more expensive. At Barcelona you only get to see one little Messi, at Charlton you get to watch a vast, rapidly expanding mess.

    I wonder if the Kat-Tax is taken into account? Plus, at Huddersfield, you get 22 chips... Still, everyone's happy to pay, 'cause we get to see the Premiership stars of the future and take the piss out of Katrien Meire... worth £20 of anyone's money!

    I'm all for pointing out every numerous flaw of our wonderful SMT, but this story is nonsense, as it just shows that actually they are one of the cheapest. Trying to spin this as a negative in my opinion just undermines the genuine flaws in their methods, and there's plenty of them to point out already. I say this realising it's an external source.
