Rail replacement service issues?

BalladMan · May 18

I have
- Set default zoom to Europe (you can still see where other lines lead)
- Set lines to 'Charlton Red'
- Added 'Miles' as label between FROM and Wembley as an indicator of 'How many miles have I travelled'

Post feedback and any other international addicks and I (in reality ChatGPT) will add

Right, here's the list as it stands. Please post additions/updates.
When I have time I'll check out the distances for each. I reckon the Brisbane gang may be the eventual winners of that.
Maybe towards the weekend some smart Lifer could do a map of it. That would make a good Tweet for the club account.

I'll try and pull together the WhatsApp crew. I think there may be an international Facebook group with different people, I don't really do FB so maybe somebody could check it out.

Calgary x 2

Brisbane x 3 TBC

Knock x 3

Abu Dhabi

Edmonton/Calgary x2

San Francisco

Guernsey

Cork

Texas

San Francisco

Dubai

Netherlands

Vienna

Portugal

Qatar

Nantes

Prague

Dublin

Boston TBC

Florida

Innsbruck

There’s gotta be a song in there somewhere .. ‘Flew in from Miami Beach, BOAC. Didn’t get to bed last night’

If anyone is on the International facebook group and can ask others where they are coming in from, we can add to the map.

The furthest LO probably have someone coming in from is 'Norfolk'.

My French nephew is coming from Paris, having also come over for the semi-final. The Eurostar tickets are probably more expensive than some of the flights mentioned!

flyingkiwiDK · May 18

Copenhagen, Denmark

LoOkOuT · May 18

The Bermuda Addicks contingent have a few flying over.

There’s a half chance my son and I will be with them.

Funny I was just going to ask if you are including the new owners?

Stuart_Learys_Boots · May 18

While I do reside in the UK we took a chance and have been on holiday through the playoffs, returning on the Saturday before the final. So we are flying in from Delhi on Saturday evening.

There’s two of us from Portugal, and we are from Albufeira, so right down south…

Apologies. Don't know how I missed you off first time. Awesome effort.

Taxi_Lad · May 18

Not exactly flying but booked on the 8:27 from Broadstairs 😬

tom_k · May 18

This is great!

CatAddick · May 18

You lot are so precious 😂. I once did Jerusalem -> Tel Aviv -> Heathrow -> home -> Fratton -> home over about 28 hours for an AWAY league game. Crawl out of the woodwork for Wembley…

(seriously, well played and 🤞)

BalladMan · May 18

All the additions / amends detailed above have been made. I have also updates the URL to be more fitting with our world famous chant: https://cafc-many-miles-have-i-travelled.netlify.app/

Plan to make some further changes
- Will add some Charlton branding on there somewhere
- Not happy with the underlying map image still, will find an alternative
- Aggregate of total miles travelled to get to Wembley to be added

BalladMan · May 18

Updates made to app
- Aggregate of total miles in top right hand corner
- Reset view in the bottom left

FYI, before today I had never released a website before. Everything I have created has been produced by feeding in raw data to ChatGPT, which produced the single HTML file used to drive the URL above. ChatGPT then told me how to setup a netlify account and upload the file produced by ChatGPT.

The technical aspects of this are basic and its not for use by 1000s of people, but this is where I truly believe AI delivers its strength, democratising technical skills to those that have an idea (in this case @PragueAddick had the idea).

PragueAddick · May 18

@BalladMan Fantastic work. Thank you so much. Fascinating how you got ChatGPT to do it for you, too.

I am sure Tom Rubashow is going to love this.

Got one from Berlin to add in

_MrDick · May 18

Calling New Zealand … We need you!

Howdy, Stranger!
