All the comments saying Police won’t allow it …. Why ?
It’s an attendance of 1200 or so. Hardly a massive crowd, that would require the Met to cancel all leave. So Charlton get 300 tickets. Obviously these will be rampaging skinhead thugs from the 70’s.
The 300 who get tickets will be Season ticket holding fans, with massive away points in the bank. I don’t really see these fans are likely to be a risk element, in Police terms. Therefore a few stewards and couple coppers should be enough.
The only reason it could be moved is if the infrastructure required to put the game on TV can not be accommodated. Or if not chosen for TV then if Cray want to cash in on a larger gate at a local venue.
But what about the home fans? Not the 150 hardly regulars, but fans of other clubs like Millwall who'll come along for the night
Or heaven forbid might be highly deluded Charlton fans.
Having had time to think about it, I think there's a case for putting the exact same team out.
- It protects our better players - It provides consequences for the lack of effort first time around - It provides a chance at redemption
There is, of course, a pretty bug argument against - we could lose! But...its not out of the question that Appleton could put those players back in again
I was hoping we wouldn't make any subs on Sunday so as to see if the selected first 11 could overcome the opposition. To then see our "big guns" off the bench diluted the spectacle and compounded the embarrassment.
Now some are worried if our 'internationals' will be available for the replay. What a mockery this tie, and specifically CVPM's comparative success so far, makes of Charlton's standing in the professional game and maybe of the professional game more generally. For all the infrastructure, professional contracts and coaching on our side, 11 part timers turn up, hold their shape for 90 minutes, with decent fitness levels and some technical ability, and that's enough. If they do this to us again, given the gulf in league places, I think plenty will see it as a victory for non-league football as a whole. We wouldnt live it down as it would be historic, and historically bad from our perspective.
Capacity of 1,000. They had more than that in the Jimmy Seed today. They should see if a local club can host it for them. The Valley maybe? 😜
Let them have the West Stand and the PA system and announcers (couldn't be worse?) and we could all go in the Jimmy Seed to see if the accoustics really are better?
Never been in the Jimmy Seed, so would be up for that

Was in there for the first day back at the Valley, so my memory is slightly skewed. I did however paint a load of the metalwork a nice shade of Charlton Red in my volunteering days. Also the floor, concrete and my trousers as the paint was a bit skinny. I found the trousers in the back of my wardrobe the other day and was immediately transported back to the covered end.

Weirdly I can vividly remember all of the times I sat in the Jimmy Seed: - last game 85
Yeah they're cutting it fine to re-arrange the venue. Im not sure which is a more complicated process, sorting out Cray Valleys ground to be replay worthy or trying to ponce someone else's for the eve.
It's pretty obvious that there gonna have to let it be held at Wembley. I just hope they can deal with the hoards of South east Londoners descending into the national stadium and we don't see scenes like those at the Euros final.

And that’s what Appleton has to get across to our players. Wonder what the SMT make about it Charlie boy and co have been very quite lately?

We shouldn't take any. I believe that we are "allowed" 15% (150?) and if so the "points" system will still mean loads of people in Phase 1 wont even get close to getting one.
Are they announcing that it’s going to take place at CVPM’s ground because it’s been definitively decided that it will be hosted there, or because it’s the default location in lieu of agreeing to play it somewhere else?
I wonder what the smallest ground, in terms of attendance, has held a Cup match which involves a very local derby which at the first game had in excess of 6000 people attend.

Stupid decision imo.
For the ones that do get tickets, good luck to them.
For everyone else if you so wish it’s there to watch on the beeb
Just rented an allotment for a month. If anyone wants to watch from the allotment, I’m charging £20 per ticket as long as you bring a shovel. 10% discount on turnips.

- last game 85
- First game 92
- West Ham boxing day 92 Bumstead scored with a one-two off the post.
- Burnley FA Cup 94 - Pardew scored a great header.
Cutting that fine
