    London derby that hasn't been played for 15 years? Nah an all-prem tie that happens twice already this season is the one! 
    Sky and BBC will always pick games between Premier league teams, It's the same as FA cup, must do the best numbers
    since when have preston been Premier League

    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.

    I'd like to think that behaviour is not at all reflective of the majority of our fan base to be honest.  Most would have no issue with Charlton or anything like that, just respect.  You'll always get some gathering of pre-pubescent dickheads on Spurs forums, certainly not on the mainstream ones.

    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. 

    You absolutely would call it a new stadium tho right?

    So surely it’s still visiting a new thing?
    Of course its a new ground 
    It’s a new stadium on an old ground.

    How’s that for a compromise? Now get back to your classrooms.

    All games will be on Sky Sports + remember 
    Boo! F**k Sky Sports+

    So again,  we can't watch it on Charlton TV overseas because the rights have been sold to TV channels who then don’t show it. 

    What a load of bollox.

    Such a poxy place to get too, thinking driving might be better from bexleyheath and park on someone’s drive through an app.
    I went to a gig there last summer. Overground on the way there was a nightmare. Pre-booked an Uber home, picked me up 5 mins walk from the ground and was back in Eltham in half an hour.

    Wow, so the Uber wasn’t overground  ;)

    If we were the home side i think it would've been picked, but the reality with Spurs being the home side is they probably expect them to win comfortably.

    Forest and Leeds are two big clubs so they would hope for decent viewing figures.

    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.


    My other half parks at a local school when she goes, £20 cash, about 15 minute walk

    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?
    My dad, and grandparents are lifelong Leicester fans.  
    Is your dad Nick Ferrari

    Given the demand for this game will be similar to West Ham, I would expect the ticket arrangements to be the same with the selling phases.

    Even if demand is similar supply is double, and shorter timeframe to sell them in. Would make sense to have fewer phases for this one compared to West Ham.

    Absolutely, to have 11 phases to sell tickets is absolutely ridiculous in the first place.

    Does anybody remember an away game when David Campbell kicked a load of their keeper's teeth out and then kicked the ball in the net which the ref was happy with and we won 1 nil.

    I remember that, think it was a Sunday match which was pretty unusual in them days.

    That’s just the default though. Every fixture says 25th at 5pm except for the ones that have been confirmed for TV.

    Paul Williams collided with Tony Parks in that incident 

    Campbell scored from that incident

    December 1987 on a Sunday lunchtime 

    Charlton’s first league away win of that season after 19 games played and only their 3rd win in total
