Brian Cowan (he was at all of the games) sent me this:
'Notice anything odd here?
Home play-off semi finals:
2nd leg, 17 May 1987: Ipswich (at Selhurst) (11,234)
2nd leg, 13 May 1998, Ipswich: (15,488)
2nd leg, 17 May 2010: Swindon (21,521)
1st leg, 10 May 2018: Shrewsbury (14,367)
2nd leg, 17 May 2019: Doncaster (25, 428)'.
The mood about the club in 2018 was such that we only sold 14,367 for the home leg, despite Bowyer being at the helm. I remember not expecting to win, and we didn't.
The play-off at Selhurst in 1987 was against Leeds, the attendance given on Wikipedia was 16,680.
These were the home semi-final attendances @clive.
Taller fans yet to purchase should enjoy the back two rows in the covered end lower. No better leg room anywhere in the stadium imo, (apart from front row seats probably).
Ive said it before but Ive never liked having away fans behind the goal. Ideally if we ever managed to 'finish' the Valley and have a complete closed bowel shape we could stick the away fans in a corner or on the end of a stand at the sides. But it is what is it is.
There's been enough shit produced in our stadium in recent years to warrant that.
I have a ticket to return. Anyone know how to do this online?
Match ticket holders that wish to obtain a refund on a home match ticket must ensure that the tickets are in possession of the ticket office no later than 24 hours prior to the time of kick-off. Only the match ticket value will be refund. https://www.charltonafc.com/policies/ticketing
Packed out Valley, superior head to head recently, they hate our manager, we love ours, they're convinced they're gonna lose, most of us are fairly confident these are our best chance at Wembley.
I can already see myself driving back to Norwich late Thursday night listening to REO Speedwagon thinking about another league 1 tour.
On a different subject Brazilliance, have you done anymore videos since the Cambridge away game. That’s the latest one I’ve located on YouTube.

No mate, I arrived late for kick-off for Wycombe (serverly underestimated the drive), also didn't help I ended up parking a 40 minute walk from the ground as my usual spots were gone (underestimated the attendance)
With Wrexham I did start doing a vlog, but I was pretty f****d off when they scored and genuinely just didn't feel like capturing their day. Can usually just upload losses but that one was a stinger, game was too important.
Was then sick during the Burton week.
I will vlog every play-off game though, irrespective of results. 👍🏻

Maybe, but sill waiting for mine, bought within the first hour on Sunday.
