Lewis, our Fan Advisor, has just emailed me "Just to let you know I have added your point to the fans forum agenda for Thursday .
I will come back to you once the meeting has concluded. " Thank you Lewis!
I've watched today's post regarding the season ticket issue for U21 matches & want to bring another aspect of "moving the goalposts" earlier this season and which I brought to the attention of the club.
I planned to watch the live stream of the FA Youth Cup match on the evening of 17th November last but found that it was not available to watch even though I had (and continue to) paid £7pm for both these games and the U21s this season.
I emailed "website@cafc.co.uk" as advised on the OS at just before 5pm ( ko was 7pm , I believe) but as expected, didn't receive a response until the following morning.
The reply thanked me for my email & apologised that they didn't get back to me before said match the previous evening. The next line was : " Can you let us know where you saw the information about RA Youth Cup matches being live streamed & we'll get it updated. We haven't got the resources to live stream these fixtures , unfortunately".
I replied that I'd like to draw their attention to the Charlton TV link , then under the "Live" heading, click on " What can I watch". The info then states which matches are live streamed including, under the "Academy" heading - "FA Youth Cup" indicating availability both in the UK & overseas. Those involved at the club clearly don't know what information is included in their own online guide.
I concluded that, whilst I am aware of the reduction in staffing levels which possibly contributed to allowing this "error" to remain on the site, I am concerned that this might be the tip of the iceberg ..and added that we all know what happened to the Titanic !
I received no further communication but found that said entry on the site had been deleted some some time later.
If Lewis reads this, may I suggest that my issue be added to the problem of incorrect details shown on the club's official website in the hope that any new owner/s will ensure that staffing levels & any training required by them be such that there is no ambiguity to any information emanating from our club. It it less than a professional look and careless but also is selling a product which is not fit for purpose- in both the live streaming and season ticket information for the current season.
Deji will end up playing higher than Cafc and no surprise that in the biggest crowd for years at Hayes lane, he was MOM for Bromley against the Hollywood backed Wrexham on his debut. Centre backs who can play out from the back are in great demand and so no surprise when Deji makes the odd mistake similar to John Stones when first breaking into the Barnsley team.
Both Deji Elerewe and Daniel Kanu are well known and constantly monitored by the scouts of higher clubs. This loan at Bromley could kick start his career, and with Ness out injured he can be one of our perm 2 from 4 CB's with Hector and possibly Inniss before Ness returns from injury for next season. Lavelle may/should be moved on.
Hard to judge players in Under 21 games when there is no edge to the game and flat atmosphere.
Burger Boy wants to raise a few quid in order to create his rancid offerings? The season ticket refusal is deliberately nasty which perfectly fits the character of Burger Boy.
@seth plum - ST holders and U/21 entry was raised at Fans Forum last night by Fan Adviser so hopefully good news to come .................

Yes I had raised the issue with our Fan Adviser Lewis whom discussed it at the Fans Forum and then today sent me this " This will be posted with the fans forum notes but I thought I would come back to you personally. All U21 games at The Valley this season will be free for ST holders to attend.
We are currently speaking to Dartford over the same agreement being in place at Princes Park both for next season and for the remainder of this campaign. I will update you on Princes Park as soon as possible."

Brilliant Lewis, thank you.
I got the same email and replied to Lewis that there are no more games at Princes Park this season.
I find it amazing that the club has failed to post anything about the game against Wigan at The Valley today. Do they really want supporters to attend the game?
Edit - a Twitter post.
Season ticket holders will need to get a free ticket from the ticket office to enter the ground.

The Addicks' U21s return to action at The Valley on Monday afternoon, hosting Wigan Athletic in Professional Development League 2 action (2pm KO BST).
Fans can attend Monday's fixture in SE7 with admission priced at £3 for adults and £2 for over 65s and U18s, while 2022/23 season-ticket holders and Valley Gold members go free. All available tickets are situated in the West Lower - click here to get yours.
Well they have made getting g into the games difficult as possible. Seasonticket holderand I had to queue get a ticket for the game then had to quein reception while they tag people's bag. Then had to find my way tothe exutive seating area with many doors locked. Now trying to squeeze every one into the executive seating. Getting crowded.

Mason Mount and Thiago Silva were watching. I wonder if Dean Holden was there to try and tap them up
