Yes, The Vale of Glamorgan resort has excellent facilities & is where the Welsh Rugby team stay & train before home matches.SporadicAddick said:
I thought the same, and Google Earth doesn't suggest many places to play unless its jackets for goalposts in the car park. The Vale Resort a bit further down the M4, however, has some lovely pitches...Elthamaddick said:Great place Celtic Manor….don’t remember seeing a football pitch there0 -
Interesting looking at the Welling United schedule
Only three dates available that a Charlton friendly can potentially be played
Have to think we'll play them on the 6th just before we head off to Newport for the training camp.0 -
I try to be fair and dislike Rangers and Celtic equally. They are similar because they have been built around bigotry. I believe our own Paul Elliot gave this as a reason why the Glasgow derby meant little to him as a game.0
-
bit of a concern for Welling if we don't play them. always bring a decent crowd and its a good earner for them.5

Didnt we mess Welling about a bit under Roland with the revenue? - Seem to remember reading that Welling would keep the entirety of the proceeds prior to him, that then changed when Roland showed up0

Paul Leeds a director at Welling United has confirmed this.ForeverAddickted said:

I cannot remember the last time we didn't play them pre-season.2 -
If true, this is a pity ... always well attended.0

Seems it was down to the fact that we wanted to send an XI team there rather than the First Team0

Massive shame not to continue our tradition of playing Welling, would be interested in the full story behind it.2

That’s disappointing news. Not only is that a tradition gone, but at a time when Welling could do with the revenue more than ever.7

For background, we are obliged to play Dartford as per the agreement surrounding the use of Princes Park for the U23s during the season.kidbrookeaddick said:(I understand that Welling were approached first about hosting our U23 games, but turned it down).
As that game had to be fitted in, it made it very difficult to factor in a Welling fixture around the rest of this pre-season schedule, unfortunately.I believe there’s been an effort by us to try and arrange a CAFC XI team to play at Welling instead, but I’m unsure where that stands.24 -
Welling could really do with the money, I really hope we can get some kind of friendly sorted with them.5

If I was Welling, I'd tell Charlton to jog on to a u23's match.

Ah who needs pre season traditions when you've got pet memberships10

But are we obliged to play a first team at Dartford...? Surely we should be sending a CAFC 11 to Dartford & a First 11 to Welling. Seems we have shot ourselves in the foot with this one.Ollywozere said:

Not very happy about this at all. Welling is always THE season curtain raiser. To replace it with playing Dartford instead is very poor imo.
TS has made his first boo boo. Just hope its the last.9 -

On buying the Club he insisted the Welling friendly was dumped or the deal was off, at least that’s what I heard ....golfaddick said:

Disappointed to hear that we won’t be playing Welling. It’s a tradition which is worth keeping and maintaining. I try not to be one of those supporters who moans constantly, but as a community club shouldn’t we look to support the local community clubs as well.6

Dartford a local community club, so they are doing exactly you as you asked.SouthWest_Addicks said:Disappointed to hear that we won’t be playing Welling.

Drop the Bromley game and play Welling.

Not for Charlton though. There are plenty of other more 'local' teams.CharltonKerry said:

Take a visit to Dartford railway station on a Charlton home match day and you will find that Dartford / North Kent is indeed a local team for CharltonPopIcon said:

Didn't the tradition of playing at Welling start when they provided a ground for our reserves during the Selhurst years? Or am I imagining that? Because that's kind of what Dartford are doing now.8

That must make London local to Manchester United.Lordflashheart said:

Dartford is many things, but I wouldn’t say it’s “local” to Charlton.0
