In 20 years time 100k people will say they were at the valley for Chris Powell's first managerial game of an epic career that has led to him managing England to a world cup final win.

I think Plymouth will sell rather more than we might think. I personally know of 4 Plymouth fans living in Kent who will almost certainly go and they tell me that there is quite a thriving London branch to their supporters club.
We barely scraped 20,000 against Swindon in the play off game. Anyone who thinks 3-4k are going to crawl out of the woodwork for Powell's first game are well wide of the mark.

21,521 at the Swindon PO game.
22,287 at Brum v Villa
The feel-good factor will, IMHO, put a few thousand on the gate so expect 18,888 if not more.
It is an event and people will want to be there. I'm really looking forward to the game and a positive 90 minutes
Well I'm getting my brother, sister and her daughter to go. Possibly her son too, but unfortunately he came with me to the Swindon game :-(
And I'm still eyeing that EasyJet Friday night flight.
I think we'll get above 18,000, and more importantly it will be noisy. Its going to be a Proper Charlton event, and I badly want to be there. The vibe I get is that a lot of people feel the same way.
19,339, would have liked it to be 19,340 but sadly financial circumstances prevent me from coming down yet again........one day.....one f'ing day I hope to be able to return...its been 2 years now.
Hope everyone who's going enjoy's what I'm sure will be a great day in CAFC history and roars the addicks to a good victory!!!

17,202 is my guess.
anything over 18,000 is good.
With 200 being Plymouth.
First match with new manager PLUS that manager being sir Chrissy.
