  • I will be there.
    Feels like going in for an operation. Don't want it but know it's necessary.
    In pain but will anaesthetise beforehand and look forward with hope to recovery afterwards.
  • two thousand Charlton fans being sent to Coventry and nobody is telling us why 😉

    Expecting the worst but hoping for a miracle! 

    On the plus side from last night - we mastered a couple of songs that could come in handy at the weekend:

    "3 nil down, who gives a fuck? We're Charlton Athletic and we're staying up"
    and
    "We've had a shot"

    People are forgetting they are now known as Frank Lampard's Coventry 

    *Looks up the lyrics to stop crying Frank Lampard* (in the unlikely event we get something)

    or maybe we should go with your a sh** Matt Holland (or Scott Cannon) 

  • Yep, getting train up from Gloucester...was excited until a few days ago

    New ground for me. Meeting a Charlton supporting friend in Birmingham and then short train journey to Coventry Central. How we get to the ground from there is still unknown!!

    Not sure if I am really looking forward to it now, but then I have been party to many humiliations over the years. 7-0 is my record (Brighton or Luton, I can't remember).
    You can get a train from Coventry to Coventry arena, I'm changing at Birmingham, then onto Coventry, then onto Coventry arena, stadiums right by the arena stop
    There are a couple of shuttle services from Coventry in the hour before kickoff, but if you're earlier than that there are trains from Nuneaton to Leamington Spa which call at Coventry Arena and it's worth trying to get on at an earlier stop if you have the option - from Coventry to the Arena they get a bit crowded.

    Three of us going - new ground for two of us
  • Climbing Snowdon on Friday then travelling down. What could go wrong?
    Getting lost and dying of exposure?

    Though it could be less painful than attending Saturday.

    I can't go, so will watch aboard not sure where yet, but have the pilot awaiting instructions.... somewhere in Europe...

    Interesting how Charlton are a hot ticket for away fans
    two friends who support Middlesborough couldn't get tickets..their allocation sold out 
    before it went to general sale - allocation 2346....surely this will be increased? 

    & Pompey pal "sold out in minutes unfortunately" despite having pts tickets were impossible 
    I wonder if there is an agrument for in particular the Pompey fixture to allocate several blocks in West Stand for away fans? 
    Unless home tickets are going to sell out makes sense to sell more seats to away fans?

    I gather it is an hourly service.

    Apparently there are buses to and from the station.

    As many options as the Coventry forwards will have on Saturday.

    You're all mental, and have my deepest admiration and sympathy. Personally I think if we get tonked on Saturday that the club should give a bonus loyalty to points to anyone who went to all 3 of Southampton, Stoke and Coventry.

    Spoke to Stoke Fans (on Tuesday) and said they enjoyed the trip- then they met a bunch of spanners on the train on the way home

    Going on Saturday. If we’re getting tonked by half time again I may have to retire to a local hostelry!

    would have been going but couldn't get a ticket - will watch at home and crack open a bottle or 2 of Cotes du Roussillon to toast the win - lets hope jerome is full bodied, plenty of bottle and has a corker
  • On the train now from Bangor! Up the addicks

    We know we'll get beaten today but with scenery and weather like this we will still have a grand old time

    I am not there today.
    As long as the players try I am sure our brilliant fans will sing all game, like Manchester United away in the league cup.

    On the train at Euston. 
    Off to meet an old university mate, who's a Coventry fan, for lunch. Then off to the game. We're meeting again after the game in the Casino for a pint, then off for dinner. I'm staying overnight, then back home tomorrow.

    Going to this and will stay to the very end and clap what I hope  will be a heroic performance regardless of losing 6-0
  • At Strensham services….amongst Swansea fans ..

    15 mins from Cov, weather seems to be getting worse the further north up the country we go. If we’re lucky the match will be called off!

    For anyone who went to Dhillons brewery before the Coventry game, they put a lot of pictures of pre and post-match customers on facebook. Not a lot of red on show but if you were there you might spot yourself.
