It would be great if all Charlton supporters can get tickets and add their much needed voices to cheer the lads to victory. Especially at Wembley if we make it. It would be a real shame if they missed the opportunity to see the lads at Wembley. It doesn't happen too often.
Well let's see if Roland puts some money behind the bar and pays for some subsidised train and coaches as he waves goodbye to his Charlton Athletic experiment.
Sorry if this has been asked before but does anyone on here know if it would be possible to organise a special train or is there anyone at the club ( that still cares ) could organise one to Sunderland or Barnsley?

Good news - for us to play Barnsley, they would need to lose their last game and Portsmouth and Sunderland would need to win both of their 2 last games. Additionally, Sunderland would need to achieve a 7-goal swing in their favour. It's not gonna happen, we won't need to go to Barnsley.
Bad news - The people left at the club who actually care don't control the money. The money is controlled by a senile old duffer who actively dislikes us. No special trains to Sunderland.
I am in the process of organising a flight. I have made enquiries but until we know who and when then I can’t arrange it. I’ll post details up as soon as I find out if it is possible. Likely to b around 150-200 spaces available
Tickets for the home leg will be available to purchase through the club’s new ticketing system – meaning fans will be able to purchase easily online, over the phone or in person. Details about away leg tickets, including how you can purchase them, will be released in due course.
Below are some key things to prepare ahead of tickets going on sale:
Make sure you have a Fan ID. In the event the match goes on restricted sale, the club will only be able to sell to supporters with a Fan ID
You can find your Fan ID on your season ticket, any ticket confirmation email or on your online account if you login with your email
If you don’t have a Fan ID visit booking.cafc.co.uk and click “Register”
Make sure you have linked your friends and family to your account to aid the process if purchasing on their behalf
Make sure you know how many loyalty points you have. You can see this by simply logging into your ticketing account.
Organising special trains is pretty difficult these days, especially with short notice?
MrLargo has contacts at South Eastern, he is always emailing them and on the phone. He will sort it.
Organising special trains at short notice?! They can't even organise normal trains at long notice. And their trains can't make it from Sidcup up to London without having a shit-yer-pants meltdown due to the points/signals at Lewisham, I can hardly see one of them making it all the way to Sunderland, it would almost certainly collapse in the style of a clown's car somewhere between Finsbury Park and Welwyn Garden City.
Also Mike, on a much more serious note, I believe that most, if not all, sections of the line between London and the North East are powered by overhead pantograph rather than a third rail, meaning that South Eastern's dated, poorly maintained, unreliable fleet wouldn't be compatible with the lines on that route. #properCharlton
In short, I'm afraid that, even if you put aside South Eastern's comprehensive inability to run trains, this idea is still a complete non-starter. Nevertheless, I will give them a ring when I get home, just to make sure that they haven't forgotten that I hate them, and to check that they received the last "gift" that I send through the post.

Seriously impressed with that statement Mr L, you know your trains.

Can you first confirm your surname isn't McKay please?

£114 - but limited seats available.
A few fans weren't allowed in the ground after about 8 hours on a coach as they were too pissed.
Day only improved when I won £100 on the programme halftime jackpot draw.
They fly all over Europe 🤣
