I think we have all been impacted by the Belgian days. They didn't give a shit about us or have any ambitions for the club. So many of us then had a mindset of following Charlton but without wanting to hand over unnecessary cash that was destined for his pocket.
We need to get beyond that and regain our combined passion. I think that we may be heading in the right direction.
Why should I go to football if it doesn't suit me?
I'll go to the games that suit me.
If it makes me less of a supporter then so be.5 -

Without knowing the fixture list, probably looking at sub 10 3PM Saturday matches the whole season.0 -

One way would be to give every ST holder a 50% discount on the new shirt for the coming season. They should still make money on each shirt and they’d probably sell a lot more, which in turn could encourage others who might not normally buy one if they start seeing a lot more red shirts all around the ground on match days.

Having raised the price it only makes sense to buy a ST for ‘waiverers’ if the financial saving is obvious.Given even the most committed fan can miss games due to ‘life’ ie real world constraints and choices the benefit needs to be real.Currently it’s not compelling for those on the fence to commit when the arguments on Sky TV times are also applied.It’s new support we are chasing after all.2

What's your view on cup games? Are you "fairweather" if you choose not to go to them for any reason when neither money nor ability to actually get to the game is an issue?1 -
In my innocence I had always assumed that people who bought season tickets and traveled the country going to away games did that because they wanted to. I’m only just finding out that it’s actually an enormous act of sacrifice and self denial, so I will be more respectful in future.9

I've read through this entire thread, all 28 pages of it !, and it strikes me that a lot of you are missing some of the main values of having a season ticket. I've had one since the early 70's, initially to save money over the year as I went to almost all games, but also to save the agro of queuing up to pay cash at the turnstile, I could just walk straight in and not miss the start, as now, most turned up at the last minute.
Once the valley became all seater, and having picked my seat, it was mine "for ever" or until I die. So my season ticket has also guaranteed the seat that I want, and I still don't have to queue up in the big long queue on match day to get a seat that's not my first choice. I don't have to get online, choose a seat (maybe one I don't want), pay for it and print it every game. I just walk straight in.
Over the years, I've gradually got to know those that sit around me, they're the same every game, we only discuss Charlton and other football matters, but they're "like minded". At the end of the game, I say "bye, sorry must rush, train to catch". I wouldn't have this if I bought a ticket for each game separately.
One other thing, all the moaning about season ticket prices going up. If you'd bought a ticket when they were first offered, and from what I can see the zone 2 ones (the ones being mainly moaned about) were available for £485 and as your saying they're now £550 and that's a price increase of £90 so they must have been £460 last year, so your price increase would have been only £25. (£485 - £460)8 -

I might be wrong of course, just my view.3 -

Buying online after all means it is relatively easy to buy match by match.1 -

The owners deserve no less than 15,000 season ticket owners …… all these diehard fans that suddenly appeared we should have no trouble reaching that target …8

Why 15.000? Why not 30,000 or 50,000? It’s all equally meaningless.15

Half a century ago the club published an article claiming that crowds were a disgrace for a borough the size of Greenwich, which showed a staggering lack of awareness of both its own performance over the previous 20 years and where its supporters lived.
The reality is that the public owes the club nothing. It is up to the club to make its offer attractive. People who aren’t buying STs will in some cases not do so because they are not as committed as those who do. There is no moral appeal to them that makes any sense. It’s up to the club to persuade them.We do need to understand that whether you are a supporter or not is not a binary condition. It’s a spectrum and what motivates people at one end isn’t the same as what motivates others, and even if it was people have different obstacles to overcome - time, distance, money etc.21 -
