Bah humbug…!!!RaplhMilne said:Sorry, think some of our fans are delusional… How can anyone truly believe 7,000 are going to rock up at old Trafford on a Tuesday,Weds,Thur in early January. We get a 0-0 draw at home and win a poor pen shot out, and a season of complete bollocks is forgotten about.Ok, is great, been a while since we had a cup run that culminates in a decent big game. But, let’s be honest it will go no further, we will lose 3 or 4 nil, and most likely limp out like we have in so many league games. The older generation have seen us at Old Trafford on a number of occasions, so not a massive first for many of us.I think we would be do really bloody well to sell 3,500 half the allocation. So can see no problem anybody getting a ticket. I will be one of those, but only because it’s a chance to meet up with friends in the Manchester area, who I haven’t seen in a while.0 -

Real kick in the bollocks for punters who been to every away game this season including Stockportse9addick said:This is going to be one of those away games where people think they’re entitled to sit in the seat actually printed on their ticket, isn’t it?
This is the sort of thing I dont understand. A plum cup draw in a totally shit season, and people looking for things to be negative about.
The draw was last night. Just enjoy the feeling. The announcements on dates and tickets will come.0 -
AgreeAFKABartram said:I think you will be surprised how many we’ll take @RaplhMilne
I've done 1 away in 10 years - that was Wembley - and this game is calling me.
Bit like the Brighton game - I expected a drubbing, wasn't massively looking forward to it. But the fixture called me to attend.
Same for Man U - I expect a drubbing, not even that excited by the fixture or the venue (like many - seen it, been there, done it, etc). But the fixture is calling me to attend. Some kind of pre-programmed Charlton supporter defect that's making me want to go.
That's the best I can explain it.
I reckon 3-5k without support from the club on transport. Another 1-3k on top of that if the club makes it easy to get there. I'm in the latter group.4 -

Edit to the above - 1 away since Sheff Utd in the Cup in 2014 - that was a call of duty, too!Er_Be_Ab_Pl_Wo_Wo_Ch said:

How many CAFC fans are booking hotels? The one I stayed in in summer for about £70 a night going at £180 on Tuesday 10th!
I can't go anyway as I'm just starting a new job thought I'd look out of interest.0 -
We took 4000 to Doncaster on a Sunday. We will take at least 5k to OT.2

I hint done an away game outside of Norfolk (i.e. Carrow Road and our PSF at Lynn a couple of years ago - EDIT: I went to Wembley in 2019 but I'm not counting that as an away match especially as we were nominally the home teamEr_Be_Ab_Pl_Wo_Wo_Ch said:

) since our first game at St Mary's when we helped Southampton pop their cherry at their new ground (I don't think I've even ventured over the border to Portaloo Road in the intervening years).
For some strange reason this game is starting to feel tempting despite the inevitable let-down you know is coming ...2 -
Sidarn! 😜2

Premier Inn Old Trafford booked for Tuesday and Wednesday night - pay on arrival and can cancel anytime so will do once date of game confirmed. Honestly can’t wait, been wanting a big tie for years and finally got one. We’ll probably get an absolute hiding but will be a night to enjoy whatever happens on the pitch1
-
Great draw. We will take 5k easily. Pleased for the diehards who go all over with Charlton2

I’ll be in either Mexico City or sunning myself in Cancun. 😎🌞0

A lot of people will be taking a few extras to this, I will have 4 when normally I go solo to away matches0
-
I plan to go ....... my two sons plan to go ........ my daughter and her partner plan to go. I expect to get beat and I don't care. Its Charlton at OT in a quarter final
If I had never gone to games I expected to lose I will have missed a hell of a lot over the last 40 years !4 -

Showing up in my Charlton linked Google Calendar as 8PM on Tuesday 10th January.2

Plenty of £60-80 availability in the city centre. The grim Britannia near Piccadilly Gardens has jacked its prices up, though, but the usual suspects are offering decent deals.Bangkokaddick said:How many CAFC fans are booking hotels?

I would be amazed if we don't take more than that. I think the full 7k might be a push but we can definitely get 5-6k.RaplhMilne said:Sorry, think some of our fans are delusional… How can anyone truly believe 7,000 are going to rock up at old Trafford on a Tuesday,Weds,Thur in early January.

Where Mr Rolls met Mr Royce as the sign in the lobby says!bobmunro said:Southendaddick said:Booked the midland hotel for the Tuesday only £130 stayed there’d before for an insurance conference when it’s been £600 so happy with that
Very good hotel.0 -
Ah yes, I know where you are. I’m in Ilkley.Cafc43v3r said:
Tong, right on the Leeds/Bradford boundary, you?The Red Robin said:
Ahh yes of course…looks strikes are on though. Once we know a date I may be able to drive depending on when my wife is working. Somehow we’ll get there!Cafc43v3r said:
If the trains aren't on strike you can get a train from Manchester to Leeds all through the night because of the airport.The Red Robin said:
Getting there shouldn’t be an issue. Train (if possible) or coach. Getting home is unlikely so could be a hotel.Cafc43v3r said:
Let me know if you figure it out!!The Red Robin said:Need to figure out how I’ll get there and back from Leeds minus the car that day 😬
Where are you based exactly?1 -
I predict the ambulance strike on the 11th will get called off but that it will be nearer to the date.
At the moment it's an attempted cut throat form of forceful negotiation that the conservative party cannot ignore. They won't have any validated excuse to ignore it.
If they do allow the strike to go ahead, then they know that its blood on their hands and there is no way they would have any chance of staying put in the next general election.
If a lot of examples such as a loved ones desperately need an ambulance very quickly at a critical time but they can't get one...
There will be riots happening all over the place in reaction to that. It will build up immensely.
The pain anger and frustration will get passed around very rapidly.
I believe the 11th will get resolved and there eventually won't be anything to worry about0 -

We had seats under the electric scoreboard in corner of ground .Still have ticket. As you say all went off, even end of match walking down stairs from seats was unsafe.RaplhMilne said:
We went by train group of us from Eltham must have been about 30/40 of us. We’re in a pen on half way line. Charlton went 1-0 up, then all hell broke out on the terrace. Police with truncheons wading in as well. We were all put up on edge of pitch and March to another section opposite side of ground, across the front of Stratford End, all spitting at us. By time we got there. We’re losing 2-1.RaplhMilne said:Solidgone said:
I went by train.Lewis Coaches said:
Back in 74 the only way to get up to Manchester was make your own way up there.ForeverAddickted said:Bet the club will be stupid and wont run a Valley Away service...
Even if they do it'll probably be one or two coaches, especially if there is to be a Rail Strike!!
Lewis Coaches said no coach travel due to too much trouble up in Manchester.
As I recall 9 of us back of Bedford van went up together . Cost of ticket seats 1 pound 10 pence .0 -
I understand the coach arrangements are a side issue. However, there will be many people only able to go by coach, certainly into four figures and the club isn’t geared up to provide that. It’s not about ordering the coaches, it’s managing the bookings, the pick-ups, behaviour on the day and providing a service that works. The coach company doesn’t do that - it’s staff and volunteers who do. It’s days and days of advance work and then oversight on the day.
Yes, 1994 and 1998 (100 coaches) were done by CASC while the later ones were done by the club, largely by the same people. The only recent example would be Sheffield United in 2014 but don’t know how big that was. Evening games are significantly more likely to rely on coaches.
All I’m saying is that the club is geared up to run a couple of coaches and it needs help with that. It doesn’t have the capacity or experience to cope with 1,000 people travelling, never mind more than that.14
