When I started work as a young man I got talking to a Spurs fan about to retire about the big crowds of yesteryear including at the Valley.

With my huge trip hazard, I managed to piss into the Lino's pocket once! (or assistant referee as I believe they are now known as).1

Valley Express tickets arrived in the post today, which is odd, as I bought Mobile tickets

I think the superior intellect of Sandgaard, Garner, Hayes and Sandgaard may well defeat Varneys ambitious plan here…0

League 2 is on the horizon
What a mess

Hope whoever’s interested has deep pockets because they’ll need to spend on about 20 new players.1

Fraid I just saw a couple of cars getting a police escort back to the airport... They looked to be driving in a hurry, with a frantic look of: "Dont look back" on their faces... So I presume thats who was buying usCallumcafc said:Hope whoever’s interested has deep pockets because they’ll need to spend on about 20 new players.12 -

If O'Connell played and put his boot through it twice, would we have lost?Dazzler21 said:We're missing O'Connell so much at LCB.

I think further words from PV may be needed to convince a large wedge of fans to turn up. Really hoping Brighton put out a B team so as it’s not too bad of a tonking!0

Wishful thinking. They haven't played for weeks and will want a game to prepare for the restart of the PL the following week. Can see it being a full strength side except for MacAllister.mart77 said:I think further words from PV may be needed to convince a large wedge of fans to turn up.

Plenty of rumours that PV and his people are not in the box seat and another’s group will win out. Given PV’s previous cryptic request perhaps it might be good if something was added, if only to settle some nerves.0

Good job Varney didn’t bring his friends along today. That was embarrassing on how low that home crowd was

I'm always a bit wary when the likes of that nutter on the other site and Dodgem get insider info.0 -

Hope PV's request has some substance otherwise I can't see why we all need to show up to make a point.1

With all due respect to those who have bought a ticket for this game based on PV’s cryptic message, I simply can’t see how a half filled ground (compared to quarter filled), an underperforming team, uninspiring performances and a likely but disappointing defeat is going to make any attending potential buyer think that Charlton is the club for them. The atmosphere is going to be tepid at best and hostile at worst - especially after yet another shit-show second half yesterday ending in yet another collapse and home defeat. I genuinely hope I’m wrong but I can’t see anything positive coming from the Brighton match.It is ridiculous to suggest that a good fan showing for an unimportant ‘beige’ cup tie against unattractive opposition who are expected to beat us will - or indeed should - be the deciding factor for a friendly buy-out. A vital league game like the one we capitulated in yesterday would have been the place to see passion and committed fans rallying behind the troops - not bloody Brighton in the ‘couldn’t care less’ cup.1

We are due a home win, if we can’t beat Rovers, how on earth are we going to beat Brighton?meldrew66 said:With all due respect to those who have bought a ticket for this game based on PV’s cryptic message, I simply can’t see how a half filled ground (compared to quarter filled), an underperforming team, uninspiring performance and a likely but disappointing defeat is going to make any attending potential buyer think that Charlton is the club for them.

I genuinely hope I’m wrong but I can’t see anything positive coming from the Brighton match.But you never never know, I think if somehow we did win this, it could be our biggest ever cup I can remember, perhaps even bigger than beating Blackburn away, when they were Premier league champions, given we are in free fall this season?1 -
Apart from the intrigue surrounding PV’s request, I don’t think there has ever been more apathy from the support for a home cup tie versus Premier League opposition. If not for Peters intervention I think this game could easily have been a real window into the soul of Charlton Athletic as it currently is. Bleak and desolate is how I’d describe it. Not trying to sound dramatic but I think we have finally reached the crossroads. Unless the next month or so is exactly what we are all hoping for then I genuinely fear for this club. Slipping ignominiously into the fourth tier looks very possible and unless our new owners whoever that might be really are our knights in shining armour with ambition and wherewithal to achieve it then I’m not at all confident that we’ll ever make it back.20
