    Do you have a link to that please @rina? It’s potentially something CAST can look to raise or at least check over when the fixtures are published. 

    Not defending the EFL/PL but realistically they are already juggling a lot of requirements in fixture planning (like making sure CAFC have 4/5 away from home in a month…) Then you also have Sky / broadcast changes to take into account. 

    Nevertheless it does need a close eye.

    it's a bit of a ballache to navigate. you need to go into eas documents, then eas 2027 (or whichever year you want obviously) then V1. then you need the appropriate PDF(s). I would imagine most relevant stuff will be in the one with KS in the title (kent and sussex).

    Looks like a train to Dartford then a cab then. 
    Assuming the journey planner is accurate, you can get the train to Lewisham, then change 1 stop to Charlton.  That's what I'm doing from Gravesend.

    No buses required

    Is this one of those times when a 12:30 kick off would have been slightly better? After the final whistle the travelling numbers, to include fireworks ticket holders (including myself) will be mental!
    Walk to the village and jump on a bus or walk to Blackheath in 30 mins.

    Thanks, @rina. Think I might need to go back to university and study a new language to translate their documents into English.

    Sounds like a plan mate.

    There are 4 trains an hour from Dartford to Lewisham but they run in pairs, 3 or 4 minutes apart.
