The stated capacity at Badgers/Middle Park is ambitious to say the least, I think 800 would be a push. If there were any Charlton fans allowed in they couldn't be segregated anyway (without some expensive work), they have a grand total of two turnstiles side by side. Walking distance for me, not that I would qualify for a ticket, but I really can't see it happening at their home ground, even though in a weird romantic way it should. I hope they make a bit more money out of this. Being at the game today I don't know the attendance, but guess somewhere between 4 and 5 thousand.
It’s a tiny ground, with no segregation and just one entrance. I think they’ll surely have to look at getting something bigger, if anything just to maximise the opportunity.
Not sure they have the facilities/space available for TV trucks and the like.

No chance at their ground. They’re not an established non-league club like Sheppey mentioned, they get crowds between 70-150 and the ground is fit for just a few hundred. Think it only has one entrance.
Why would Cray possibly want to move the game from middle Park?
Dolla. Plus the police might not be too happy with it being played there.
Why ? Do they expect Charlton fans to turn up ? I would suggest no one buys a ticket to this farce. Let the manager & players know the strength of feeling on here.
What’s the ground like at Cray Valley? Any vantage points from outside the stadium to see the match?
Why would you want to watch that shower of shit again? That old adage "if they were playing in my back garden, I'd close the curtains" couldn't be more fitting for this game.

I’m leaning towards actually agreeing with you (and that’s something I never thought I would say), but even if we beat Man City 3 nothing, I reckon you would find a negative !!!!
I live 5 minutes up the road from their ground and their is absolutey no way the OB will let the replay happen there. There are two turnsiles and zero chance of segregating fans. TBH if it did happen there I would be surprised if we got 100 tickets and the capacity would probably be under 1000. Doubt it will be Bromley as we wouldn't agree to the 3g pitch. No real idea where it will be played. Millwall seems the most likely, but as I type that seems ludicrous.
Surely these decisions re ground etc would have been made ‘in principle’ before todays game ?
I dont expect any self respecting tv person thought that CV would get anything but a tonking.
No idea of history but if CV had won today it would probably have gone down as one of THE biggest cup upsets....EVER.
Ronnie Radfords goal was at home
Sutton's victory over Coventry was at home.
Not many league teams lose at home to a side 5 leagues below them.
It’s got nothing to do with TV ? When you play a cup game at any level, it’s pretty standard to discuss what the arrangements might be in case of a replay (even if in principle)
Am I correct in thinking Welling have a reduced attendance at their ground these days? Ground guide says it holds 4.5k, but thought I read somewhere that it’s been reduced.

No significant number of Charlton fans will bother surely?

It doesn’t need to be a big ground.
Wrong. There will be big interest as away/local/potential new ground etc etc

One of the best cup matches I have seen.
Seems the most pragmatic in this scenario and least cost for both clubs.
