Yeah last season we finished 13th and this season as it stands our squad is worse than this time last year. Can't see us getting another 100 sales to be honest.
I bought one but am not looking forward to another depressing season if we don't start pulling our fingers out with some signings. I look at the players who have departed or are departing as being some of our best players and that is the best players from a team who were pretty rubbish last season. Going to the Football is supposed to be fun. I might have more fun paying somebody to wack me over the head with a sledge hammer. I honestly don't think I can take another depressing season, please Charlton give me something to enjoy - make some decent signings - give us all a season to feel even half good about.

It'll speed up soon, always does. This time last year there were the same worries that we hadn't made enough signings by now.
I think it was worse last year at the same time in terms of actual players we had - but I hate to say this - we had Parky last year. I think he was a good manager- I know some dont agree but I did think he was. I hope Powell will be a great manager but I just don't know -the only evidence so far isn't promising -but it is too early to know one way or another - so if we are losing our best players as we seem to be doing, and we have an untried manger it is more worrying. There seems to be more entries in the losing players column than bringing in at the moment and despite what people say, they aren't the sort of players I'd be looking to lose if I had a choice. I understand the wages issue but am sure Millwall didn't offer Racon the same terms he was on - so we are losing out to Millwall which is worrying. Of course the players we have lost are not the greatest thing since sliced bread but we need to see better coming in to replace them to feel even remotely optimistic. At the moment, I'm not seeing what I want to see but I do accept things can change quickly. But change they must.
I think there'll be a bump at the end of the month before swap week, then I suspect it will be slow until we make some signings, or not. Anyone that hasn't secured their own seat is, in my view, unlikely to pay for a whole season upfront unless we really look like we mean business.

I need some concrete answers...
7,536 on June 16th last year, rising to 8,769 by the first day of the season.

Are you sure you're not just making that up? I seem to remember Parky starting last pre-season with next to no players at all.
Then again, it could just as easily be me making stuff up ;-)
