    A lot planning on dropping their boycotts despite Roland remaining for now.

    Don’t get the need to buy season tickets, even if you do want/have to go and my bro and mate are in that camp. We never agree on it.

    Simple really. I sit in K Block North Upper and right now there's only 4 single seats available in the block.

    Here are the most recent ST prices in The Championship. I believe for 17-18. It appears at current early bird rates, CAFC would be well on the low-end. Makes me think the moment Roland can pull the plug on them and bump em up 30-40%, he will. FYI.

    Just bought 2 in the north lower, next to where I have been this season there is not a lot left in the north lower.

    Around me (back of lower North) the back 4/5 rows are pretty much sold out right across, always been popular but am sure there were more unsold there last year.

    Unless you are a 100% boycotter I would argue there is no logic in paying for ad hoc home games and then refusing to buy a season ticket on the grounds it helps RD.  You risk paying more over the season in one-off tickets than the price of a season ticket.

    As a soft boycotter I can see me going down the Valley for more home games next season and that's my excuse anyway for wavering and buying a season ticket today.  Plus he will still be losing money, just losing a little less, but still making diddly squat difference in terms of financial stress.

    Now I think sticking behind Bowyer and the team is what matters and japes that embarrass RD will have more impact in terms of publicity and actual pressure to sell, than 10,000 boycotters.  But will there be enough boycotters left for anyone to notice or the financial impact to be felt by RD?  

    If RD sticks around we need more effective action than boycotting I fear.

    Blimey 
    Rolands got people streaming back buying season tickets and unless I've missed something bowyers not signed a new contract yet.
    I'm not just talking those renewing, 4 of my lot have bought a new season ticket the last couple of days and 3 will be buying the end of the week.

    The thing is everyone think it’s great being busy and full but everyone’s would soon get annoyed at having to q for the toilets and bar etc 

    Well, I 'suffered' such privations while we were in the Premiership- a small price to pay no?

    All you guys rushing to buy season tickets how would you feel if in a couple of weeks time Bowyer and Jacko leave due to not being rewarded new deals. Then players don't sign new deals because of that. All the momentum could be lost , we are dealing with Roland remember. Keep your powder dry for now

    I make it currently 11,330 available.  Presumably there's a potential total of about 20k to sell, given corporate seats in the west, the unavailable east and west blocks and the JS stand.

    Same here steve......each and everyone of us has a different way of going about things......the one abiding thing is that we all (with very few exceptions), want him gone......so lets support each other in whatever way we see fit.
    The bastards I don’t like are those pitifully tiny minority that sit behind their keyboards (mostly on the forum whose name shall not be named), slagging off well respected and loyal fans of many many years standing, who decide to be pro active and espouse to the belief that actions speak louder than words.....which in some cases is very often true.
    I for one would willingly shake the hand of any boycotter or demonstrator as well as those who decide to attend and yet still give tacit support to the aforementioned....that’s their right.

    Have they actually released last season’s seats? If not there will be a measure of double-counting. There is always churn and there are always people who move seats.

    Are they really going to close blocks in the Championship? Why?

    Far be it from me to defend Roland, but as far as I know ticket pricing has never been unreasonable under his ownership.

    They're just the numbers as it stands, having added up what is available block by block. The closed blocks remain unavailable at the moment. 

    Agreed on the double counting point, but presumably the vast majority of existing s/t holders will renew given the season we've just had. And what proportion of those might have already relocated? 10% tops? 

    In the upper west block/row where my dad has his I think there were two, maybe three, s/t holders last season.  Nine seats are already unavailable, including his.

    I thought existing season ticket holders who have yet to renew, their seats are now on general sale.

    I’ve not been following it - hence the question. But you can usually assume 10 per cent churn.

    Although the smt did hike up the seniors tickets from 60 to 65.

    The the main problem with boycotting is that 1000s didn’t, were happy to support Duchatelet’s business and so undermined the impact. Water under the bridge now. When he sells all will be good again.

    Don’t know about Monday and Tuesday, but I think just under 400 season tickets were sold Wed - Thur.

    Ditto.

    I have not been to The Valley in 2 seasons but I was at Wembley.  I was not going to miss a once every 20 seasons experience.

    I think I will probably get one for the first time in 3 years as last season definitely cost me more paying on a game by game basis.
    Plus it puts you up the ladder for away tickets and there are some good ones next season

    Apart from raising the over 60 concession to 65 just as I was about to turn 60.

    I've never done a full boycott as I picked and chose certain matches each season. I ended that last year and got a ST again and I was rewarded with the most enjoyable season I've ever had supporting Charlton, all capped off with a great day out at Wembley. I renewed mine before the playoffs as I knew I'd be back regardless.

    I do find it funny how some on here can be so anti going back, yet were all so quick to turn up at Wembley. Boycotting when it suits isn't really boycotting at all.

    I've never done a full boycott as I picked and chose certain matches each season; I picked all the home games to boycott and as many aways as possible to attend. It's great that Charlton got to Wembley again this year, but we aren't quite at the point where we are so regular there that we call it home.

    I do find it funny how some people can be so quick to criticise others for attending Wembley, but not for attending Accrington, Bradford, Doncaster, Rochdale...
