The good thing, is the weather looks alright between now and Bournemouth/FA Cup 4th round day, so there is hope the pitch will get dryer in the next few weeks
I'm planning on going, as I live in Maze Hill and can leave it until about 7pm before I have to make a move. Have a feeling this could be our lowest attendance in many a year.
Depends what you mean by attendance. I'd imagine quite a few ticket holders won't turn up in this situation and they'll still count unless they physically return their tickets to the club for a refund before the game, which won't be practical for many.
Maybe I am the only odd one, but I was not planning on going but with Barnsley called off I am desperate for a football fix so will now be going to this if it is on! I am also hoping to see a healthy dose of kids playing as I enjoy that! Glutten for punishment I guess..

Forget all the periphery pitch issues and our desperately woeful historical record in the competition, at the end of the day it is Charlton at The Valley in the FA Cup and a representative of the AFKA household shall be in attendance.
If it's on and that's a big if? Can't see more than 2500/3000 at most I don't no any one that is now planning to go?
@floydroadfaithfull I'm going but I take it your son won't be up for it :0) Joking aside I was gutted for you on Saturday and hope you get some compo but don't hold your breath :-(
Charlton Athletic FC @CAFCofficial 1m BREAKING NEWS: The Valley pitch has passed a Monday afternoon inspection ahead of tomorrow's FA Cup game. More to follow... #cafc
who 'passed' the pitch inspection , tomorrow nights ref , or a random who may have a different opinion to the official official !
some bloke walking his dog past the ground probably
thank the dog didn't have a piss then , he would have flooded all surrounding areas but there is a smell near the covered end so he may have had a dump!
No point having an inspection today when there's loads of rain forecast overnight. Why not just do the inspection at lunchtime tomorrow before Oxford fans have to travel

No, but if it is clear at this point that it won't be playable, they are best announcing now. i'm sure if the weather changes in the next 24hrs there will be another consideration.

In fairness the club and team need to know asap as well. If it were off now then it changes our entire matchday approach; another days training for the team, catering cancelled, more time to work on the pitch, stewarding cancelled, etc, etc.
I would be amazed if theres not a furtehr inspection tomorrow as well though.

As far as I see it, this just means that it is "on for now".
