northstandsteve said:People need to remember Cray Valley PM, is not just a non league team, it has a huge grassroots set up. From under 7's upwards, there was a huge push within the club for everybody and their familes to come along to the game. I know people who are Charlton season ticket holders who have kids playing there that went in the away end. Also the lower level Non League teams are very supportive of each other and fans from other teams would have gone as well, after this is done and dusted they will be back to their usual 150 each week.21

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.
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.
There's more chance of @ElfsborgAddick buying a beer and the odds on winning the lottery are less than that.
Remember, there were 6700 there yesterday.
Whilst i'm sure they would love even more money, i don't think gate receipts are the big earner for them here. And what they will already make from this tie probably sets them up for the next couple of years. If they recruit well they should potentially now be able to spend their way from tier 8 to tier 6.2 -

Makes me laugh.
Do you think Cray should move the game for the other 1000 fans who have turned up for a one off game?

Turn the ground 90 degrees and we could have ourselves a new ground.1

Having had time to think about it, I think there's a case for putting the exact same team out.
- It protects our better players
- It provides consequences for the lack of effort first time around
- It provides a chance at redemption
There is, of course, a pretty bug argument against - we could lose! But...its not out of the question that Appleton could put those players back in again2 -
Don't blame them at all for wanting it at their place. They'll make a fortune (for them) out of the TV money, and by the time they pay the rent for an alternative venue, probably wouldn't make much more on gate receipts.1

Someone from the Cray Valley Staff has been on the SE9 Facebook Group asking if anyone can loan the club some sort of measuring tool as they have to "prepare a report" for the Council. Assume Greenwich and the Police are asking for assurances around entrances and segregation.3

All this reminds me: whatever happened to Greenwich Borough? I thought they were Eltham's non-league club.0

There's one entrance, two turnstiles and i'd say very little (if any) hope of segregation.0 -

Scratching my head, "where the bloody hell is the ground?" and Google Maps has just jogged the memory. It also shows how detached I am from the area now. I spent my childhood not one quarter of a mile from it, mum worked in the office of what was called the Wadham Stringers garage next door in the 70's. I lived in Middle Park in the 90's!!!
Blimey, that's where it is...
Tell Golfie I'll meet him next to The Quaggy, and I have bolt cutters if he has the scaling ladder?1 -
Somethings gonna go wrong with this, and it will be switched to a neutral ground... Welling/Dartford maybe...🤷♂️3

I worked at Cliftons one summer holiday, must have been about 1972. My aunt Joyce worked on the forecourt till. Always remember a couple of lorry drivers that filled up there always gave us some fruit off the back of their lorry. Think my uncle worked in the workshops across the road.0

From some-one who went to their ground lunchtime. They are planning on playing it there but it will be Wednesday not Tuesday1

Will Greenwich council now extend the parking restrictions even further to future proof against Cray growing in size?6
