Charlton's Emirates FA Cup first round replay against Cray Valley PM will be shown live on BBC Two.
As a result, the fixture will now take place at the Millers' Artic Stadium on Wednesday, November 15th (KO 7.45pm GMT), with both clubs receiving a live broadcast fee.
Ticket details for the tie will be announced in due course.
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.
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
So that’s another 25 grand each for both clubs in tv revenue
Last season each team in a live first round game received £50,000. Whilst each team in a first round replay received £32,500. So I assume this has increased. But, if not still means £82,500 just from TV for Cray. An I’m guessing over £100,000 all in.
Next Wednesday is another opportunity - in fact a bigger one at peak viewing time - to make complete tits of ourselves on national TV. That being so, I'd put out a full strength side and try and put this tie to bed. There wasn't a single bad tackle on Sunday or in the two televised non-league games and injuries can (and do) happen at any time. As for fatigue, we haven't even got a game the following weekend.
I think it's absolutely right that the replay is at Cray Valley's ground - they've more than earned the right and, as others have said, we've brought this upon ourselves. If there are problems with the lack of segregation, Charlton could waive their right to some of their 15% entitlement (a maximum of 150).
My old man used to be involved with Greenwich Borough a few years back and they ground shared with Cray there.
I've asked him to send me the blueprints of the stadium and will post them up here so we can plan an A Team/ McGyver/ AFKA's Eleven style mission to secretly tunnel into the ground on match day and all pop out just in time to see Charlie Kirk bully their huge centre back off the ball to score his third and match winner.
We can all then carry him aloft our collective shoulders back for a swift celebratory pint in the Oak after stopping in for a traditional post match Wednesday night roast at a Toby Carvery en route.
I asked ChatGPT: What's the best way to gain entry to Cray Valley Paper Mills versus Charlton in the FA Cup. Make the reply funny and mention allotments.
This is the reply: Ah, gaining entry to Cray Valley Paper Mills versus Charlton in the FA Cup? Well, you might have better luck trying to sneak into Buckingham Palace dressed as a cucumber or convincing a herd of squirrels to vouch for your football skills!
To infiltrate Cray Valley Paper Mills, first, you'll need to don a disguise that screams "I belong here!" Think grass-stained overalls, a straw hat, and a watering can. Then, blend in with the locals by discussing the most riveting topics in town: allotments! Swap tips on growing prize-winning turnips and the secret to perfect compost while subtly inching your way towards the stadium.
Now, for Charlton, you'll need a different approach. Charlton fans are known for their dedication, so why not masquerade as a giant foam finger? Complete with a Charlton jersey, you'll look just like one of the die-hard supporters. But beware of their "booing cabbage impostors" chant – it's a real crowd-pleaser.
Alternatively, you could try your luck at both stadiums simultaneously by hitching a ride on a flying allotment-grown pumpkin. Just remember to pack some cucumber sandwiches for the journey, and you'll be the talk of the FA Cup for years to come! 🎃🥒⚽

I wholeheartedly agree.
I will say this again just to be clear. I couldn't give a flying fuck where the game is played, my only concern is that there is no trouble or any issues around crowd safety. I have never been to their ground but looking at the photos posted on here there doesn't seem to be much in the way of infrastructure. For some people saying should we have switched the BC game back in 1994 or that Leeds should have complained about playing in a 3000 capacity stadium some years back are just being antagonistic or spoiling for a fight.
I know I get pelters on here & most of the time I don't care and its water off a ducks back, but in this case I just think its madness that a tie which attracted 6700 people last weekend is now only going to be able to accommodate 1000 - without segregation and with minimal facilities. But then again, why should the "customers" be considered in all this. As long as the clubs get their fees who cares. Far cry from a Peter Varney cry of "get down & support your team......."
But as I said, I really dont care. I'll probably stay at home & watch it on TV (like I did Sunday)....I just hope that Thursday morning we are talking about what happened on the pitch & not off it.
Surely you have more chance getting a ticket in the home ends? They probably have like 60-70 season ticket holders, after that wont it go on general sale? How many levels of priority can you make for a club like that.

Their season tickets are £120 incidentally. I wonder if anyone has tried to buy one today

If something does happen at the game you're name will be top of the police investigation. You're be lucky to see another football match again. Someone of your age talking about breaking in without a ticket. You should know better. And then inciting thousands of others to do the same, you could be looking at a custodial sentence.

They are due to play a cup game tomorrow night and a league game on Saturday, on that pitch with the weather forecast i wonder if any of these games get called off.
I imagine they will happily churn their pitch up and turn it in to a mud bath, many a club have done that in the past as a leveller in the FA Cup.

We are the LEVELLERS, when it comes to the cup! There are no levels we cannot stoop to.
