Pre-season Friendlies

Still no news on the empty "fixture" for the 31st July.

The foreign residents of that narrow road near Selhurst which had broken wing mirrors galore ( bad idea from the police for that evening game) have probably questioned the validity of away people turning up fearing a repeat. My lad and I walked down that road 10 minutes later as the Police wouldn't let me get into White horse road to walk up the hill to my car parked half a mile away. Hearing foreign accents and a women crying as she picked up her broken wing mirror wasn't a great look.
I wonder how the police normally make arrangements at Selhurst for away fans because that evening game was a nightmare on and off the pitch when a minority are up for aggro from Cafc and palace.
Maybe they should have kept the home fans in( valley, against Millwall) for 20 minutes and get the away folk to the station, buses and cars and then let out the black shirts.
Charlton TV for £5 sounds like a plan.
Ps. I know the numbers will be small compared to a cup tie at the stadium.

I heard it was in fact Sainsbury's who objected. Didn't want 500 Charlton fans disrupting their lorries coming in to restock over night.soapboxsam said:The foreign residents of that narrow road near Selhurst which had broken wing mirrors galore ( bad idea from the police for that evening game) have probably questioned the validity of away people turning up fearing a repeat.

Was it the 2-1 loss(Fuller goal) where they stuck that metal wall up? That road got smashed to bits that day, and happened 3 times that season as they hosted us, Millwall and Brighton in the same season.soapboxsam said:The foreign residents of that narrow road near Selhurst which had broken wing mirrors galore ( bad idea from the police for that evening game) have probably questioned the validity of away people turning up fearing a repeat.

Tell Palace to stick it and play Welling instead7

Pre-season friendlies used to be a great opportunity to help build excitement and confidence for the start of the season. At Charlton in recent years we seem to have given up. Usually only one home fixture (cost) and increasingly behind closed doors away from home. We seem to have surpassed ourselves this year. Crossing Welling off the list but going to Dartford and sod all else. I don't fancy our chances against Celtic and unless we get a move on, the Reading and Palace games could be anything but confidence builders. Palace was a silly choice but agreeing to play with home fans only is even sillier. The gobble-di-gook excuse on the club website suggests they are trying to polish a turd. I certainly won't be paying for Charlton TV.4

As much as I like a home friendly, they aren't attended well when we do put one on. The Aston Villa game had 7.5k and that's with nearly 3K Villa fans. Others in previous years have barely got 3 or 4k, is it even worth the clubs effort/expense?2

For Solly also ten years at Cafc.CAFCTrev said:As much as I like a home friendly, they aren't attended well when we do put one on. The Aston Villa game had 7.5k and that's with nearly 3K Villa fans. Others in previous years have barely got 3 or 4k, is it even worth the clubs effort/expense?1 -
In fact when was the last time we got anything approaching (or over) 10k for a friendly? The West Ham friendly in 2015? Before that Bilbao in 2008?0

Far fewer people away on holiday this summer though, and a lot of people desperate for live sport and a return to The ValleyCAFCTrev said:As much as I like a home friendly, they aren't attended well when we do put one on.

I know one hasn’t been announced yet, but are we going to have a home friendly match, Millwall perhaps?1

After reading the OS I was unsure if my annual subscription was still valid and whether I could watch the friendlies without a further charge so I emailed the club.
They advise me that my subscription expires in early August and that I would have to pay to watch the friendlies in July. I questioned this decision and referred them to the OS, they have now come back and confirmed that I have access for the friendlies, which I take to mean at no further cost???1 -

might it be away as our pitch is having some work?1

) deal out of the Wednesday game.
First game in 18 months with a proper crowd. The first time with a proper crowd for the owner, the manager, the kit, the Curbishley stand, almost all the players. A proper rebirth.
I don't think it would be the same if it was 10k max against Fulham in a friendly.
Sell the Valley out, make a big deal of it maybe even get Chris Powell there with a trophy to show off

Is there a subscription to buy all the pre-season games or do you need to buy them individually?0

Great news and well done to everyone for getting the game on.Cafc43v3r said:
