England U21s at The Valley?

CAFCTrev

Have we ever hosted them?

They tend to play games at stadiums of 15K-30K capacities and Ive always thought the Valley would be perfect for an U21 game.

Charge the usual £10 a ticket (£5 kids) and I think we could easily attract a 20,000 gate...

In saying that the u21s dont often play in London....

Does the club approach the FA for this to happen or the other way round?

Was this the game Bowyer played in? Seem to remember going to an U21 game at The Valley where he played

What sort of crowd did that pull in?

The Red Robin

I went that game. Lloyd Sam and Stacey Long played and I'm pretty sure Long scored. Only opened one or two stands if I remember rightly.

We can barely attract a 10000 gate for our own cup games.

Am i right in saying we once hosted a Football league vs Serie B game? Around 1998 before we got promoted?

Danny Mills was only player involved who played for CAFC

Mills wasn't playing for us at the time, he was in the Norwich reserves. Curbs selected the Football League team and obviously used it as an opportunity to have a look at Mills as we signed him not long after.

At the time mills was not a charlton player. Curbs was manager of the football league team that night. He signed him not long after that game.

I guess they'd enjoy playing on our quality pitch!
