I think 20K is just about in the decent zone, any less would have been disappointing. Hopefully will be even bigger at Barnsley with the free ticket offer and some of those fans will come back.
Likely to be lower given that Barnsley probably won’t bring more than 2,000
Surprised if they bring more than about 800.
Season ticket holders of Barnsley can bring a friend for free.
That’s a bit daft, given it means half the away fans don’t need to pay. It’s a better offer for them than us.
Unless the rules have changed it’s not necessary either.
You mean the ones that have season tickets
No, because the STs can buy for the non STs - and for each other. Whereas the idea is to bring in home fans who are not season-ticket holders, and it cannot be used to benefit season-ticket holders, with the away season ticket holders they can presumably buy for each other, so their season-ticket holders will benefit directly (and Charlton not at all, as there is no likely repeat visit).

The free ticket deal will probably mean a home sell out and the need to take some of the Jimmy Seed stand surely.

So what? If it means a Barnsley fan who might not have been able to afford it can now do so, good. Spread the jam...

Fine, if that’s the objective. I assumed it was to encourage home supporters to attend, which is about generating revenue in the medium term, not just giving it up at one game.

The home support really isn’t going from 16,500 against West Brom to 24,000 for Barnsley.

You assume correctly, and that Barnsley fans are afforded the same deal is a happy by product. Don't be such a misery guts.

If we sign a player or two, Bowyer signs a contract, or Taylor, or beat Fulham you might be surprised.

Is that supposed to be a riddle ?
I cant see the difference and how it supposedly benefits Barnsley more. If a season ticket holder buys a ticket for someone that usually attends on a match to match basis.. that's not improving return customers either, in fact the club lose out.

I'm doing that myself, as then pensioner next to me buys on a match basis as he doesn't like evening games (too cold!)
Yea i really don't understand giving Barnsley an excuse to bring more fans. I'm sure his excellency would rather a Charlton win than a packed out away end.

They were not likely to bring more than 700-800 IMO, even if they double that with this offer, still not a full Jimmy seed, plus the club gets a knock on benefit of any extra programmes, food and drink sold, minimal admittedly, but the PR alone is worth more.

I'm not sure that there will be that many more Barnsley fans. It may just mean that those that attend pay far less for tickets.

Probably first of many glory boys who'll sign up now we're rich
