Final reserve team game of the season tonight (home to Brighton). I've been told by a source at Ebbsfleet United that we aren't renewing our deal to use Stonebridge Road next season. Might mean we are looking to play somewhere cheaper, but I fear it more likely means we are scrapping the reserve team altogether for budgetary reasons. Hence all the fuss about keeping the academy - we don't need both youth AND reserve teams, given they'll likely be the same squads in both next year. So anyone who wants to catch a Charlton reserve game, tonight is probably your last chance for a while (and Manure-Arsenole will be on in the bar).

F&H, you may be right but that is a hell of a leap from maybe not renewing at Stonebridge Rd to scrapping the reserve team.
Maybe part of the cost cutting to save money but as a much bigger stadium it's much more expensive to open.
Spurs use St Albans (that still baffles me)
Man Utd use Bury I think
Liverpool ???????
Chelsea, Kingstonians anyone?

Or play them at Sparrows Lane? We can't really be making anything on the gate anyway, why not play them behind closed doors?

Chelsea play theirs at Brentford
The Fans Stadium already has two teams playing there now (AFC Wimbledon and Kingstonian)
Halliwell Jones Stadium
Warrington
I think they have to be played at a "proper" ground with fences etc by league rules but I may be wrong.
Still, it's a valid concern about the reserve team and where it plays.
Something to ask the Supporters' Director Fans' Forum
link to thamesmead new ground details.
There's a few clubs that don't have proper teams, only play friendlies when needed. It could happen but I think we'll keep it. They won't expect u18s to play for both sides each week, and they won't play too many u16s at once either.
Spurs use Leyton Orient
Really....remember going to St Albans a few years back when we had to win to clinch the combination title...............we lost
Do Erith & Belvedere still play at Welling? If so then 3 teams using that pitch all season won't leave it in the best of conditions.
Me too - big tree on the terrace.
Don't think Manure play at Bury any more, as FC United play there.
Hughton also played the other day, must have done enough to earn another chance.
I remember that tree well, barmy summers night if memory serves.
