    In the space of 29 days I have 3 new ticks, which is ridiculous when I’ve done 84 of the 92 grounds.
    Same here, including Cardiff, brings me up to 85.
    Same West Ham (had a season ticket for 1 and a half seasons there) Cardiff ( been to the old ground 2) and Tottenham (been to the old ground 7 times. 
    Are you really counting this as a new ground ?  They haven't moved anywhere just expanded the footprint. They are still in White Hart Lane.

    If we built a new ground by expanding into the car park and made it a 60,000 seat stadium would you call it a new ground ? Of course not. 
    Found the bloke who is too lazy to turn up to the game but doesn't want to lose a ground off of his personal 92 list.

    I have an Ipswich mate, but he has no idea about allocation for this game.

    It's the Preston game at Goodison?
    No. Their new pitch will apparently be ready in time for their home game with Wolves on 22nd, and the Everton game is the midweek after that.

    If the game ended up being played at Goodison, tickets would be going for a lot of dough, the demand would be unbelievable.

    Couldn't give a shit about doing the 92. Ive been to the 2 Valley's... ...the pre 1985 one where is was mostly terracing and the post 1992 one where is was rebuilt with stands on every side.

    Nope, you've done The Valley at different times, not two different Valleys.

    Such a poxy place to get too, thinking driving might be better from bexleyheath and park on someone’s drive through an app.

    That would be a good idea, also there are plenty of industrial units and other companies accepting cars.  Expect to pay around £25 for the privilege.
    Yeah, you can book them online.   More like £35 though.
    Not like the old days, when you could park on the side roads round the back of Bruce Grove and Love Lane for free.

    If using public transport, forget White Hart Lane, Northumberland Park & Seven Sisters.  Quickest and easiest route back is Tottenham Hale, guaranteed a seat and a damn site quicker to get back to London Bridge via Victoria & Northern Line.  Its the route I have been taking for the last 20 years or so.  1.3 miles, 20 mins at brisk walking pace.

    With about ten balls left in the pot I said "Spurs away" to the missus. It's two family derbies in a week - mum was a Hammer, dad a spud.   
    That’s interesting, how come you became an addick?

    London derby that hasn't been played for 15 years? Nah an all-prem tie that happens twice already this season is the one!

    All about viewing figures, they think more people will be interested in watching two prem teams, sadly they are probably right.

  • Disappointing allocation. Hoping we’re given more when ours sell out rapidly and presumably Spurs struggle to shift theirs.

    At £25 totteringham will probably get a capacity crowd.

    I lived at 262 Philip Lane Tottenham for four years when I was a student.
    It is quite laughable reading put downs from Tottenham supporters.
    Yes Tottenham are a great, very rich club, with a marvellous history.
    In Jimmy Greaves they had one of the best goalscorer in British football since the war.
    They (their fans) will feel they have a ‘right’ to be dismissive and sneering towards Charlton Athletic, their fans (like Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and lately Manchester City) have landed on Tottenham because they believe it will guarantee them glory and riches without effort on their part, whereas Charlton Athletic from our corner of London are a meaningless football club from their perspective.
    Why does it bother them so much to dole out the put downs?
    Now I liked the old White Hart Lane, so intimate you could smell the liniment, and always liked Danny Blanchflower with his intelligent Irish humour, he was the guy that came out with the line ‘when he puts his head down, don’t disappoint him’ or the marvellous line when Captain of Northern Ireland ‘we plan to equalise before they score’, so all in all I don’t feel especially negative towards Tottenham as some of their fans feel towards us.
    Yet I lived there for four years, in such a crap amorphous mass of north London for goodness sake, the only decent feature of the place was the football ground. To the south you have interesting Stamford Hill, the west Hornsey and the Ally Pally, the east wetlands and the river, but Tottenham and going north is such a crap area only Selhurst Park's location is worse in the whole of London.
    I think that might explain the sneering desperation we are now experiencing from some Tottenham fans, their geographical situation is so crap (especially compared to our marvellous historic Borough and location) and hard to get to, they want to put Charlton Athletic down to feel better about themselves. Bless.
    It was nice when Tottenham fan Chrissy Powell scored up there for us to get a 1-0 win, but reading some Tottenham fans they would find it astonishing that such a result could ever have happened.
    Show a bit of graciousness and class Tottenham fans, you’re so rich having been founded by a posh cricket club and grammar school boys (complete contrast to our own origin story) anything less than a 5-0 win will be a moral victory for Charlton, and our support will likely be way louder and more sustained, so try and make a bit of an effort to create an atmosphere at your new stadium for once.

    Edit. Ignore me, I am getting my head in a spin between the Westr Ham and Spurs games. I haven't been to either of the new grounds

    Sky and BBC will always pick games between Premier league teams, It's the same as FA cup, must do the best numbers

    Gonna tap up their training ground, there must be some players there who know a shortcut...
