Which seats are in which zone?
As in which blocks are zone whatever?0 -
Thanks Clive0
-
Looks like my two (East Block F) are the same price as last year. Is that the same for other zones/groups?0

Very good statement that. A lot to like in there.clive said:
Looked a bit shaky at first but i feel like we might finally have some decent owners.11 -
All fair, and positive that statement, and I think pretty clear owners that are having a go at this15
-
So £25 increase be Phase 1 last season in all areas except for the most expensive zone which goes up by £5 ( up to £630).
By the current standards of inflation it’s not too bad. Hope the team is a bit better!2 -
If that letter from the owners & the video from Nathan Jones doesn't make you excited for the future, I don't know what will!!They're going to have a real go at promotion next season, I'm sure of it6

Saying this as someone who doesn’t buy a season ticket but the price rises seem pretty reasonable, particularly with the installation of the safe standing zone and a potentially improved experience on the day.2

Again, blurb asking us to commit but they can’t commit to running Valley Express in return. I know a fair few fans on the Hastings route, some with disabilities, who won’t be able to attend if Valley Express ceased. I have emailed the Club with my concerns.8

Fans generally only tend to sit down because they would be blocking the sight lines of others sitting behind them. If they create a safe standing zone at the back then the row in front will stand also because they won’t be blocking the sightlines of those behind. In turn the row in front of them will stand and so on until most of the upper north will be standing, only they won’t have the benefit of a safety bar. If they are going to introduce a safe standing area then it should be in the lower north where the gradient is less steep and it should cover the whole of the back half of the stand.1

Actually think that would kill the atmosphere as you’d be taking the most vocal away from a roofed area and putting them where it’s most uncoveredBilko said:Don’t understand why the standing area is not on the lower tier, surely that would be a better atmosphere.5 -
Safe standing needs a decent gradient which is why upper is preferable to lower, I believe.1

The final paragraph of that letter builds to a weirdly passive-aggressive ending, like a demand from alien overlords:
From the beginning of our ownership our mantra has been ‘actions rather than words’, but there is still so much to do. Our collective aim is for Charlton to become the most cohesive and sustainable community-driven club in the UK competing at an elite level. Doubtless there will be ups and downs along the way, but in an era of strict revenue-based cost controls your club’s potential will only be achieved with your active support and engagement. That is now what we respectfully request.

Of course not, but a half-decent copywriter would be able to phrase that in a way that doesn't sound like a telling-off. I blame the strict revenue-based cost controls.JohnnyH2 said:

The word “sustainable” should not be used in conjunction with Charlton until we are back in the Premier League, we’re not really “sustainable” at any other level.InspectorSands said:The final paragraph of that letter builds to a weirdly passive-aggressive ending, like a demand from alien overlords:

My son reckons his season ticket has gone up £25 on last season.
Personally i think we should get some sort of refund, for the tripe served up this season, however if putting the prices up, guarantees getting out of this division., then i'm all for it, as long as the owners don't buy a load of naff players / waste money.0 - Sponsored links:

In theory, yes, but most before grounds became all seaters most fans would stand and even as kids I don’t recall having a problem watching the game even when I’d get along to first division grounds when charlton were playing away and the terracing would be picked outWeegie Addick said:Safe standing needs a decent gradient which is why upper is preferable to lower, I believe.1 -
How much is the 'saving' by coughing up before 10 May?
3 months on £450 might not accrue much but it's better in my account than theirs0 -
Last season for zone 2 it went from £425 to £450, so I'd imagine phase 2 would be something around the £475 mark.Billy_Mix said:How much is the 'saving' by coughing up before 10 May?

Word to the wise for the owners though.There weren’t 27000 in The Valley because the Club was strong in the Community and had good performing age, sex and disability restricted teams. Strong First Team must be the primary aim.13

Bit confused about this 16-20 zone because it says Covered End West Quadrant, but shows the F Block in the pic.. bit annoyed if it is as we’ve not been consulted about it at all

Very good statement. Better than we’ve seen from an owner for a long while and there’s no denying they are getting things done .Although I won’t be buying a season ticket due to health reasons ( I’ll still go to some games ) , they look a decent price as well .4

The same image thet has a NWE sign slap bang in the middle of it ?Sheepie1985 said:Bit confused about this 16-20 zone because it says Covered End West Quadrant, but shows the F Block in the pic.. bit annoyed if it is as we’ve not been consulted about it at all0 -
Overall, happy enough with all that. Bit surprised at the target age group for the youth section though. Do 16-20 year olds really want to be separate from older fans, say those in the 20-40 age bracket? I wouldn't have wanted to be. But the lower price in that section might attract numbers.0

As a regular supporter surely you have noticed that in certain blocks everyone stands already?letthegoodtimesroll said:Fans generally only tend to sit down because they would be blocking the sight lines of others sitting behind them.
