Good luck to those going, waited a lifetime to see us progress in the cup, (but not too well at present so cannot make it). Outrageous, that not more consideration is given to the fan's in regard to travel arrangement's.
With all the talk about how to get up to Sheffield, and where to stay, it'll be interesting how big the demand for ticket actually will be. It will be a sod if you make these arrangements, then find all the tickets are sold or that you can't get as many as you want...
Need to time my purchase carefully as would prefer UT. Coach travel for £10 most likely subsidisation policy I reckon.
Strong business case for that.
On ticket prices, the rules say: "The away Club’s spectators can only be charged more than the home Club’s spectators if mutually agreed by both Clubs."
the KO time is an absolute joke for London/SE (obviously the vast majority) based fans
Whats the big problem? Its 3 hours drive from Dartford to Sheffield. One would assume that most people either have a car or have access to a car. really cant see what the issue is (and i've gotta come from a further 2 hours south)

We didn't leave Dartford until 4pm on Monday and were parked up at 7.25pm. There are quite a lot of roadworks on the M1 with lane restrictions, but given it's Sunday morning they shouldn't be too bad. Of course, not everyone starts from SE London. If i was driving from Ramsgate I'd leave at 6am.
Fans want to see the best players - the best players demand the highest salaries - these salaries can only be paid if TV companies stump up - TV companies need to maximise revenues by showing as many matches as possible.

How do you think the majority of away travellers get to northern games?
Lets all stop complaining now about the kick off time. We all appreciate its not ideal, but its really not the end of the world.
Everyone who wants to get up there will do. There are plenty of options. Train the day before, bus on the sunday (or the Saturday), driving etc etc. Lets stop moaning and get as many of us up there as possible.

Agreed. As someone else said, its only a Charlton fan who would moan about having to get to a FA Cup Quarter Final, and if you're a real fan, you will find a way to get there. JustFDoIt and StopFMoaning methods !.

Strange, checked out Google Maps and from Welling it is advising I take the M25, M11, A1/M1. Perhaps due to the lane restrictions? I suspect at 7am on a Sunday it won;t matter a great deal.
Just need to find a decent pub for breakfast and a few pre-match drinks. Off booze but think I may have to make an exception for this one !!!
listen we love a moan up don't we jesus Christ, its done lets build a siege mentality and let the fa know no matter what they do, cafc fans will turn up in numbers make loads of noise regardless

That's the way we took last time, without the M25 bit, took about 3 and half hours.

We had an altercation with one on Monday night/Tueday morning & it b*ggered a fog light on our limo !
Tons of roadworks on top of M25 at the moment. 50mph and tons of speed cameras even if there is no traffic.
(It's a proper Charlton thread now.)
I have not been on a coach for years, so no idea how long the journey will take, thanks.
