Used to be one of the highlights of my summer, but not been for a few years now. Seem to always have a clash and tomorrow's the same. Generally though, don't have the enthusiasm for it like I used to.

Who is going?

    And Im not going because I understand that we will not let Welling keep all the gate receipts as we have previously. Can anyone confirm this?

    I stopped going a few years ago... I've lost interest in attending Pre-Season Friendlies now

    Only watched the games in Ireland because they were on YouTube

    Tomorrow is no exception.

    I don't think I've missed one since the late 90's. Always use it as a guide to the coming season & to run the ruler over our new signings (can't forget Miguel Lara's debut performance here - sliced every ball out of play. Also Ajose's hat trick last season - before he was Charltonised)

    Usually a boiling hot day & have fun trying to work out who's playing (especially when there are a few trialists) as the tannoy man sounds like he's speaking through a toilet roll tube.

    So Welling will get even less by you not going.

    I'm not going after our last 2 pathetic displays and Welling is now a must win game.

    Wibble wibble.

    Actually psf's are shite. I've never been to one where I've left the ground pleased that I'd attended.

    Can't make it as I'm due to go to London with my wife as my daughter's away for the weekend. However, she's out on her leaving do from work tonight so might not be match fit for tomorrow. In which case, I'll be there.

    from a welling fan;

    Charlton charged welling several thousand pounds to send a team down for the friendly. Probably down to the new owners who don't understand that Welling used to let charlton play reserves and youth games at our place when you were at palarse.

    I can tell you our fans massively appreciate the support and he visits from charlton fans for big matches and we all hope charlton do well.

    used to go every year as a good little drink up to be had but after the recent years i cant be assed tbh, plymouth will be my 1st trip as going to play golf tomorrow - cheers roly

    the nags head can get a bit assey afterwards, in recent years they've brought in some rules like no trainers after 6pm.

    Great stuff - think the tannoy man gave up completely last year. Remember Joe Piggot's hat-trick a few seasons ago. I'll be there again tomorrow.

    Think the GB game is 19:30 kick off, but I'm splitting hairs here.

    In for both

    @The31YearMan is cooing about this being is 5th game in 5 days. I pointed out that we've played 5 games in 6 days, but he said that as we kicked off at 7.45pm on Monday night, he's moving in 24 hour increments from that point.

    He's also mouthing of about being out in Ireland with the likes of the Lewis brothers, thinking he's hit the big time.

    Pathetic

    Really looking forward to being thousands of miles away for this.

    Do Welling have any Irish players by any chance ?
