The club are putting on free coaches to Northampton now , wonder why
And free breakfast!
Whats all that about. Still, protest is working well already, so the club are having to pay the coaches and now free breakfast. I reckon sooner or later they'll be a raffle for a seat on the bench, sort of job share with RoJo, he never gets on either.
I sense the hand of our highly paid PR gurus behind this. For not much outlay the club get to point to a few free coaches going up to Northampton as evidence they are engaging fully with supporters.

What time are they serving breakfast? Can I stop off for the free breakfast on my way to the free buffet?
Lol, do you have to buy a ticket to book a place on the coach & breakfast? They'd never be that silly I guess........ i'll check in the morning ;-)
Sadly I have a confession, i'm going to Northampton, but then i'd promised my youngest daughter at Christmas we'd go to Northampton as it's her Birthday.
On a brighter note thats one less tea totaller on the trip and i've just bunged £50 in the Protest fund.

You're taking your daughter to watch Charlton on her birthday, blimey she must have been a naughty girl last year. I've never forgiven my Dad for indoctrinating me you know

I've told her at Charlton there are up's and downs, she keeps asking when she'll see any of the up's...... I'm surprised i've not been reported to the NSPCC.....
In all seriousness, her Birthday list has 5 items on it, No 1 is "Northampton away tickets"........
As a dedicated Charlton supporter this is surely a rare win/win,
On one hand CARD are offering a fun packed, cultural, protest packed weekend overseas and on the other the club are offering free coaches and sourcing extra tickets!
You are literally spoilt for choice
I cant wait for the day that,
A - CARD achieve the ambition and of a viable ownership
Or
B - The club offer us all free housing in Kidbrooke Village (not to be confused with the Ferrier Estate) to encourage us to go to the Valley.
Posted this pic previously on an earlier thread. However no apologies for reposting, as the fantastic organisation for this trip has rightly been compared to a military operation.
My dad and comrades in a liberated Belgium 1944.
That a good pic, it shows a Warrant Officers/Sergeants Mess group and a mixture of cap badges Artillery, Argyle's, Cameron Highlanders, Black Watch, KOSB and Gloucester's
Yes he was in the Royal Artillery. First as a regular -signed on for 6 years in April 1933. Demobbed April 1939 and then called up again on outbreak of war!
Here's a page from his Service/pay book and a Record Card if it is of any help.
Thanks, couldn't see the regiment. Will double check but my grandfather was RA 8th from memory.
From the club's blurb promoting free travel to Northampton:
We know how important it is for fans to visit a new stadium
Really?
Perhaps that's why they don't want us to get promoted, because the fans have been to those nice Championship grounds. If we stay in League 1 then there might be a chance that there's a new ground or two among the promoted clubs and you never know but, maybe not next season but the one after, we could possibly go into League 2 ourselves. Oh, how excited the fans would be.

Rather pleasant Italian just off the square will probably be getting our custom - @SoundAsa£ is too sophisticated to do a 'buffet'.
Looking forward to the food and drink and to meeting like-minded fans before the main event of the day.
Well done to all involved in organising this.

I have deadlines for the Monday afterwards so might have to cancel on it last minute so would want to keep as cheap as possible?
