In the queue to upgrade an under 11 ticket, there were plenty of people just trying to give away their spares, eventually I gave up queueing and just took 2 adults tickets for the NW upper being offered.
Thanks very much to the fella that gave them
What on earth were they processing upgrades for, when all the ticket prices are the same?
I was given an adult and under 11 ticket, I didn't want any issue of entering with my 15 year old so just thought it safer and easier to upgrade. The queue was mostly collections I guess
Can understand that from your perspective but it’s not a position the club could have defended when all tickets are £5.
We have some very over zealous stewards who would have got their 15 minutes worth of fame by making an issue.
I’d hope they had been instructed to ignore the issue yesterday.
Me and my son have season tickets and didn't bother yesterday either, partly because the team generally don't turn up for these big games, 3 home games in 3 weeks is expensive for me coming from where I live and partly the weather.

There are usually 2,000 season ticket holders not present. Given the weather, it would be no surprise if that was higher.
2,000? Seriously? That's a fair chunk of our usual gate.

Edit: confirmed they had been.
Fans wouldn’t know that before going through the turnstiles though and don’t want to face the hassle / humiliation of getting grief off a jobs worth.

Would really help if that was advertised . if they advertised that early then all our bitchy fans moan about is it worth getting a season ticket blah blah blah

I dont understand why people piss and moan about the stewards. If you're not a 50 year old bloke buying kids tickets I very much doubt youl ever have any interactions with them.
I wished more 0eople would stat away.....parking is getting a right nightmare !!. Got to the ground at 1.30pm & still had to park the other side of the park (which we've had to do since xmas) and then only just found a space having driven round 3 times.
Then getting home was even worse. Took an hour to move 1 street & didnt get onto Shooters Hill road (by the Lido) until 6.15.

Yes - it’s because the pricing means people buy season tickets with no intention of attending every game, for convenience when they do, and as a way of supporting the club. There will also have been a lot of no shows at £5 given the weather.

Let's hope we don't get back to the Premier League then.
We parked at 1.30 on the road where the chemist is. Left after final whistle, nipped to loo, got to blackheath standard by 5.15 and bus home from there. Indoors at 6. Was pleasantly surprised!

Yes, I agree, as I indicated above. I think the club could have made this clear to remove it as an issue but equally the permanent staff are not do daft they would omit to brief the stewards on it.

What is our overall support?.
At least forty thousand plus; source Wembley League One Play Off Final May 2019 😉
Edit; Actually it was nearer 37k but I think we must have a few thousand more knocking about here and there.

I remember 20 odd years ago occasionally parking in Bugsby's way when past Makro it was basically just industrial premises and the road was dead quiet at weekends!
Knew I shouldn't have bothered but I moved heaven and earth to get there! Firstly coming through outer darkest kent found traffic to be a nightmare due to A21 closure then found there to be no trains only a replacement bus service ! Sod that back in the car head towards sevenoaks took an hour to do a 15 min journey then get ripped of by the car park ticket machine £15!! We Just get train with minutes to spare Then packed like sardines on the london to charlton train arrive with minutes to spare so no time for beers or food! All for what!! The same as everyones posts So please remind me or simply kick me in the nuts not to attend next year? Thanks in advance

This season's average is 17,946 of which 15,977 are home fans.

The parking is a nightmare because Crossbars/ Fans bar is free. Loads of people now rock up at stupid O’Clock to park close and sit in Crossbars for 3hrs. I’d be happy for the club to bring back a ‘fee’ of some kind for access to the Fans Bar. It would thin down the herd and free up the parking at the same time.
