Surely any pub crawl has to involve the Millers in Bexley, given Cray's nickname?Off_it said:I'm really looking forward to the replay as have got a nice pub crawl planned. Kick off with a couple in the Welcome Inn, then down to Eltham High Street and ticking off the Castle, Man of Kent, Carpenters Arms, Greyhound and finishing up with a few shorts in the Yorkshire Grey before heading to the match.

I think people underestimate the amount who may want to turn up without a ticket if it’s played at MPA.
Not in the thousands but enough to keep whatever security stationed around the very flimsy fencing on their toes.3 -

Not in the thousands but enough to keep whatever security stationed around the very flimsy fencing on their toes.Big difference in travelling to Portsmouth (for example) without a ticket trying to get in, compared to walking 5 mins down the road to Eltham to a ground with just a fence around it.2 -
Plenty of opportunities to watch Charlton play with no segregation if you watch the under-21s or the women. Under-21s are playing at Cockfosters in the London Senior Cup on Weds 15th.killerandflash said:It would be nice to be able to watch a Charlton match without segregation, but is that realistic? Even if the Old Bill have an area allotted for the Charlton fans, they will still have to share the turnstiles and toilets.2 -
Do Cray sell e-tickets or do they insist on paper?2

I'm going to take a guess that everyone in a decision making position is comfy with it at Badgers, because the BBC/ITV have already said it's being televised0

I think that reply has just about sealed it for me. Me & Golfie Jnr will go just to say we've been there. Bus ride of 20-30 mins, Maccy's for tea and then bundle in with lots of other ticketless fans. What's not to love.Rothko said:

And who prey did they play. Not their very local ex-Premier League club who have c7k Season Ticket holders and almost the same again regular supporters.Milan said:
I went to their record-breaking attendance match at the end of last season, if memory serves they had 900+ fans there. Clearly they're able to accommodate that sort of number, but a lot hinges on the legal aspects (fire safety and other shit I know nothing about).letthegoodtimesroll said:
Play it anywhere other than The Valley and it wouldn’t surprise me if Cray Valley ended up losing money on the game even with the TV money. If they only normally play in front of 150 then that doesn’t suggest they will have the infrastructure and facilities in place to accommodate a full house of fans, even if that’s only 800-1000, trying to get into and out of the ground, particularly in an emergency, move around to go to and from wherever they will be standing, go to the toilet etc and accommodate the TV cameras/commentators and crew trucks. If they play at a neutral ground then they will have to hire it.Callumcafc said:I still think it ends up being played at their ground. We’ll see.
Holding it at their place is a recipe for disaster. There will be hundreds of Charlton fans wanting to go, even if it just to "tick off" that they've been to a new ground. And I'm not even thinking about violence or trouble at the match. Anyone heard of the Hillsboro disaster.1 -
They may well have in the background, and why all and sundry are comfy announcing it, I think it's a really easy pick for either broadcasterForeverAddickted said:

The TV infrastructure thing is easy for them to sort out. Perhaps we will get no tickets at all. Looking at the google view, is there room to build a temporary stand does anyone know?0

All very well but can a temporary stand be knocked up in 7 days?

In seven hours if necessary, it wouldn't be a problem. But whether there's time to do the safety inspection and all that, I dunno. I still suspect our allocation will be zero.MartinCAFC said:All very well but can a temporary stand be knocked up in 7 days?0 -

I remember when Welling played Blackburn years ago all the away fans went in the gates for Danson Park at the bottom of Danson Rdsam3110 said:Why do we need turnstile segregation? We don't segregate at pre season friendlies against Non-League opposition, and if capacity is capped at about 900 then I'm sure any OB can handle having to shepherd 135 Charlton fans into one part of the ground if needed3 -

I've never been there so new ground
Been to our other away cup disasters (Northwich, D&R)
Its a short bus ride away with a MacDonalds over the road - in fact it will probably be quicker & easier using their loos at half time than any in the ground.0 -
He can't fucking play on grassgolfaddick said:
They just played their 1st round cup match on it on Friday so how come its now not suitable ? Can Kirk not play on a 3G pitch ?Rothko said:It won't be at Bromley due to the pitch.6 -
Believe it will be on paper view.sam3110 said:Have they even said it'll be on TV?19 -
Not sure about that. Have a look at https://www.thefa.com/-/media/thefacom-new/files/competitions/2022-23/emirates-fa-cup/rules-of-the-fa-challenge-cup-2022-23.ashx and there's plenty of get-outs.Wellred said:

I know you come out with some right royal codswallop at times, but let me check I’m actually getting this right Golfie…
you were INSISTENT you weren’t going to attend the home tie as it may have clashed with your Sunday eating options,
now (after a dire performance) you are equally insistent you are going to the reply to the extent of potentially breaking in the ground!You’ve gotta laugh…35 -
Have you seen our fans?! No chance they could scale a fence. Might be able to fall into it and knock it over I guess.SouthWest_Addicks said:DA9 said:I think people underestimate the amount who may want to turn up without a ticket if it’s played at MPA.
