    Fixtures now due out tomorrow, 8 July. The season is still due to start on 21 August, or possibly Saturday 20th. No pre-season games announced as yet.
    Lucky there are no friendlies yet. Not enough players to put out a team at the moment.

    Admin - can the title of this thread be updated to include current season please.

    OK, so it seems we've learned a harsh lesson from last season, that lesson being that you should let Liverpool score if you don't want them to come in and steal your keeper after the end of the season.

    I don't think it's fully signed yet, but some Liverpool sources are reporting the move and we currently have no keeper on the squad list on the website. Realistically, Eartha is clearly good enough to play WSL and it was only going to be a matter of time.

    Current squad list on this link.

    Fortunately, it seems we've secured a top quality replacement, at least for one season.

    I saw that loan for Sian Rogers and asked myself where Eartha Cumings was. Eartha has been brilliant and if she moves on to WSL then very best of luck to her but what a loss. However why only a loan now instead of a replacement?

    Has it been confirmed that Eartha is now in the WSL?

    No. A normally-reliable Liverpool journalist included her in a list of 4 players that Liverpool were discussing contractual terms with, but the club haven't announced anything yet. All we know for certain is we've signed a loan player who we surely wouldn't have been able to attract if we weren't able to offer her the first-choice slot.

    Shame about Eartha from our point of view but if she has gone into WSL I can't blame her and good luck to her. 
    I note Anna Filbey hasn't signed for us either. Anyone know where she has gone. She will be a big miss as was key to our solid defence last year.

    Anna left in May.
    Yet to see who she has signed for.

    Just looked at the benefits that come with my men's season ticket. Apparently I can get a free ticket to every home game played at The Oakwood by booking at the ticket office. Why should I buy a season ticket for the women's team?

    We have a pre-season friendly. 14 August, 2pm, against West Ham at the Oakwood. Tickets in advance £9 or £4, add £2 if buying on the day.

    We had another pre-season friendly, against Rangers in Glasgow, or rather in Cumbernauld at what was once the Clyde FC ground. Not quite sure why the game was there, as Rangers normally play at their training centre which has a perfectly adequate capacity. 

    Write-up from a Rangers perspective here. The game doesn't seem to have been mentioned in advance at our end, but some locally-based fans heard about it.

    Charlton beat Rangers with a late goal from a trialist.

    FA Cup dates are out. We enter at the third round, on 11 December. If we win, the fourth round is 29 January. The draw for the third round looks like being Monday 28 November.

    The wording has been changed.

    The wording has been changed.
    So the season ticket benefits that was attached with your season ticket card is already redundant.

    The second home game of the season, Sunday 18 Sept against Birmingham, has been moved to the Valley. Tickets are the usual £10 or £5 if bought in advance. As usual, only the West Lower will be available. https://www.charltonafc.com/news/charlton-return-valley-september-take-birmingham-city

    The Southampton game seems to be moving around. We're now showing it as Saturday 20th, at 12.30. Southampton are saying the same date, but at 2pm. The FA website has taken it off the list, presumably temporarily. 

    Either way, it was going to be my away game for the season and now I won't be able to go. Looks like it'll have to be a day trip to Birmingham in March, instead.

    I called Ticket Office and confirmed today all Oakwood games should be free, but not the Valley games, for ST holders.

    Southampton away now confirmed as 12.30 on Saturday 20th. Also confirmed that it will be live on FA Player, which usually means our various streaming services will have it too. A nice alternative to whatever's the Sky lunchtime game before the Cambridge match that afternoon, now it's confirmed as not a 2pm kickoff.

    Update: Kickoff for the first home game has also been moved, the Lionesses game is now at 4.30 on 28 August, not 2pm. Hopefully this excessive moving of kickoffs to accommodate the FA Player audience will reduce once the WSL gets going on 10 September.

    Sunday 14th: due to the weather, kick-off for the West Ham friendly has been moved forward to 11am, not 1pm. Not great news from the point of view of anyone trying to get to watch the game, but it seems reasonable that player safety should come first.
