    I have just checked and todays ticket is still free - so I shall pop to the Valley today at 2pm to cheer on the U/21s.
    Are you sure we can use our season tickets?
    If so I shall attend too, but clive’s post above seems at odds with what you have found out.
    Hi mate. I got a ticket when todays first went on "sale"  -   just saved the email on my mobile/email . It looks like they are now charging, but I checked mine again today and indeed it was at zero cost to me as a ST holder when I got it on 22/02/23. From now on they want to charge and this is why I am annoyed - Season Ticket loyalty gone. Tell them this and demand a freebie!! I know its only a few quid but it is the principle !   If they don't change then lets all bunk in over the Heights lol.
    Had it confirmed by Tom Rubashow of the club that free admission to under 21 games is not part of the season ticket benefits. (So few anyway.)

    Don't know how we've got into games at Princes Park free and seen it mentioned in the previews.

    I'm not paying for anything from the club in the way of men's season tickets and Charlton TV etc from now on.

    I will buy a women's season ticket next season and will probably join Valley Gold to watch the academy teams free.

    442 narrow diamond with Henry at the base , Anderson and Adigun either side  and Euan Williams as a No10?? Like how Bows used to set up?

    the change to season ticket entry to u21 games is more of the cost cutting going on in the club, shows how desperate the owner is.

    Well after being under pressure in the first 15mins or so, including Kone saving with his knees. They have become the more dominant side, the thing letting them down is their accuracy in passing or should I say lack of.

    on the balance of play in the 2nd half, it is a fair result.  To many of are final passes into their box poor, even most of corners disappointing.

    Very disappointing this afternoon. Poor decisions all over the pitch I felt let us down. 

    I'm really concerned that Aaron Henry has gone backwards whenever I've seen him of late & wonder whether his possible dissatisfaction with the contract he appears to be refusing to sign has anything to do with his performances. What a waste if that's the case.

    Honestly don't know the ages of our players or indeed those of the Robins, but they looked stronger man for man on the whole ...and were the masters of time wasting & lying down all over the pitch.

    As for the ref...the less said the better and she clearly needs more training on adding time for the amount of "injuries" in the 2nd half. 

    Once again, one player stood head & shoulders above the others, even more so than usual.

    No need for a name....

    Well Rubashow can stick it up his arse, because two of us got in for free this afternoon following a little bit of persuasion.

    Not really sure why people are moaning that ST holders had to pay

    When you buy a ST you are buying a ST for the mens first team, not for youth games or cup games or anything else that might be at The Valley

    Valley gold get in for free, because they are paying to support the youth setup.


    IMO you should expect to pay and if the club ever give it to ST holders for free like in the past they have done, then gratefully accept and think its a nice gesture from the club, but people demanding it should be free for ST holders seems wrong to me, that's not what you paid your ST for.

    As a ST holder I was personally happy to pay my £3 and was greated with a performance that matched the weather

    Shouldn't Penney be getting a game, seeing that he hasn't played in the 1st team for weeks?

    Season ticket holders got in for free at Dartford.
    Indeed season ticket holders have got to see U21 matches for free for years.
    You could eat for 10 days on £3 according to Lee Anderson, so not everybody thinks that £3 is a trifling sum.
    Then again there is the principle of the thing.

    First of all you can't eat for 10 days for £3 that's bollocks

    Secondly I never mentioned anything about £3 being a trifling amount and as someone on ESA who struggles with money on a weekly basis I would never make such a crass comment about people's finances(just for the record I have been struggling with my EUPD recently and that £3 i spent today was the first time I have done anything in ages with my own money that i made from selling MODMag) 

    As I said in my original post if ST holders got in to Dartford (a different stadium less cost for the club, operating turnstiles staff and stewards) for free then treat that as a nice gesture.

    But your ST doesn't entitle you to free entry to youth games, your ST entitles you to senior football matches

    Season Ticket DID get me into U/21 games up to today though. My ticket for todays match at the Valley shows £0.00 as "2022/23 Season Ticket Holder" and every U/21 game this season I have been too I have got in free as ST holder.

    And I did take all the "perks" into account when we nearly didn't renew in the Summer. The Women's games have been a great bonus I might add.

    Exactly. One of the seven(?) perks included free entry to under 21 games and Women matches. They have reneged on the deal. That is the issue.

    Been watching the under 21s for years for nothing apart from cup games. No more.

    As others have said it has been free entry to the games at Princes Park for some time with it mentioned on the official game previews. This is no different to being an entitlement.

    One of the reasons I bought the season ticket.

    And again for clarity it is not the £3 but the principle/loyalty factor
