Greenwich Council's imminent proposed parking restrictions in Charlton and across the borough, will either directly or indirectly negatively effect the majority of Charlton fans and most definitely the club we support.

If you drive to the games you will have even more severely restricted parking opportunities.

If you can find a place to park it is most likely that you will have the cost and inconvenience of having to pay on an app to park.

If you come by train, you will find the trains becoming increasingly more packed as people are forced from their cars.

If you come by bus you will also see the buses more crowded.

If you are fit and able to use public transport now, try and think forward to what position you might find yourself in in future years.

Cars are more eco friendly than they have ever been and I assume will become increasingly more eco friendly.

This is simply a cash grab at the expense of residents, businesses, football fans et al.

Please sign the petition if you want your club to thrive at The Valley and share the petition with as many as possible. Thanks.

ANYONE CAN SIGN ONLY NAME & E MAIL IS REQUIRED.

    We are out of the borough and drive to most games. But equally combine with supporting businesses on the retail park. That won’t happen anymore if we lose the ability to drive and simply do in / out on public transport

    I’ve tweeted about the petition on The CL Twitter account below. Would be really grateful if all fans on there could retweet or help promote to help give this as wide awareness as possible, thanks all

    I thought that the Council agreed not to put in a CPZ expansion in Charlton recently though, following opposition?

    No, that was Plumstead and Shooters Hill only.

    As I originally posted in 2023 about the parking changes, it's all about revenue and disrupting fans getting to matches. Not everybody can use public transport so not being able to park near enough will drive them away. Council do not give one shit about the club but equally the club did nothing to oppose it. I live about a 5 to 6 hours round trip so will not add on a further hour of walking to that. Football should be about enjoyment as opposed to buggering about trying to get there and park up.

    I have declined to renew my season ticket this year, primarily because of the hassle of parking and getting to the game. Its getting to the stage when I'm not enjoying it enough to justify the cost, (even if we win in the last minute!). Also as I am having to park further away, my knees and joints increasingly struggle. 

    Because of the number of games on TV it doesn't make financial sense to buy a season ticket AND Sky. So I will pick and choose matches & watch some on TV, saving money, saving my joints, and reduce the growing likelihood of a parking ticket (as I saw loads of poor fans getting against Watford).

    I wish public transport was an option from Kent (I used to use the Loopy Train before they binned it).
