From the OS:
"The north stand, including Crossbars and quadrants, will be closed for this match. No season-ticket seats will be reserved and the upper west will not be sold at this stage."
Not expecting a bumper crowd, then ....?

No Upper West?
Where will I get my prawn sarnie then?0 -
Oh no, all you cupboard end riff raff in the east
: - )0 -
It will be weird for the team kicking into an empty Covered End.
I know the feeling.
A bit like when I made my debut for Charlton Unathletic at The Valley a couple of years ago ....(!)0 -
Do you reckon we will sell enough tickets to open the upper west? Never sat there before and would like to.0
-
Anyone know where the singers will sit then? West like in the jpt? Or east?0
-
anyone else really wanted to go in the jimmy seed?0

You could sneak in. Nobody would see you.0 -
[cite]Posted By: CafcAndy[/cite]I never understand closing the stand where the noise comes from...??
Most of the noise in the ground comes from the Technical Area .......when 'Tiger' Parky is savaging referees.
;o)0 -
[cite]Posted By: JimboCAFC[/cite]i hate charlton for doing this -_-
You hate Charlton for closing a stand that would probably have 1000 people in it, thus costing more to open than we'd get in in ticket sales. Crowd will be around 5k and no doubt we'll loose money. Game we don't need. Club need to do everything to keep their costs down.0 -
I think that was meant to be a 'smiley' of sorts on Jimbo's post, Clem.0

[cite]Posted By: JimboCAFC[/cite]i mean why cant the club just leave the north open and close the west and the east?
Why, because that would suit you?0 -
Shutting the east and the west upper would seem more logical IMO
wonder if Barnet will agree to reduced prices
£5 adults and kid for a quid would get a few bums on seats at least0 -

Where would Richard Murray and other people of importance sit ? Upper North ? Ha ha.
You couldn't close Lower West and have the director's box area open ?
So Lower West has to stay open.0 -
leave the east closed, have the lower west and maybe just upper north open?0
-
And we can't close the east because that's where the gantry for tv cameras is ;-)0
-
play it behind closed doors = no running costs0
-
Jesus, does it really matter?
Certainly no reason to "hate" the club you (supposedly) support.0 -

Yes but the east was closed to supporters for the paint game against dagenham and I'm sure I've seen highlights of that game (correct me if wrong)0 -
Keep the covered end lower open, then shut either east or west, probably East as West generates more dosh.
Difficult decision:-] Who makes these decisions?0 -
LOL this thread is funny. So what if the north is shut! Lets just all make noise in the west?0

It's a shame the first game was not at the Valley as I suspect we would have got 3 or 4 times the gate.
Barnet would have been happy for gate receipts . I reckon we may get 8k for this0 -
Closing The East was the begining of the trouble back in 1985.
Now we have to close parts of the ground down to save money,we have fallen along way since then,how about playing the game at Upton Park uncle would be happy.0 -
At barnet gave the prices out as 12 quid and a fiver concessions so should guarantee a crowd of 5k.0
-
Well, the game is evidently not going to be a sell out, so you can't really blame the club for cutting losses.
So who is actually going.....?0 -
I might pay a visit to the Jimmy Seed stand I could have a row to myself instead of being crammed in the west lower like we were against Daggers in the JPT!!!0
-
I will probably go0

The prices were not set by CAFC. We proposed £10 adults and £5 concessions. Barnet objected to the FA on the basis that we should charge our full league prices and their own supporters £25(although as they didn't manage 1,500 of their own fans at home we can surmise that wasn't much of a consideration for them). The FA imposed £12 & £5.
We don't regard £12 as a sensible price because it will slow down sales on the night and means we cannot operate cash turnstiles.
In terms of stands, we have to open the lower west because of the hospitality and directors' facilities. The north is more expensive to open than the east and opening part of it is not a very satisfactory option because you would still incur some of the costs of the rest.
Of course the number of people in the north would cover the cost of opening it, but that isn't the issue because most people will transfer to other stands for a one-off match.
The east and lower west gives us a combined home capacity of 10,000-plus with the upper west as a contingency.
I can understand if people are disappointed they can't sit in the upper north for this match, but that's the logic.0 -
Fair play for the full explanation once again Airman.
Shame on Barnet for their actions.
Doubt they will bring more than 4-500. Hope we stuff the t*ssers.0 -
