Ignoring all comments about how bad we were in the first leg, lucky to not lose at home etc.... Charlton 1/4 odds to beat an 8th division team is wild
1/6 on William hill to win in 90 minutes with Cray Valley at 10/1 (same price as Horsham to beat Barnsley tonight).
Some of these other bets look half interesting, across extra time and penalties:
Considering how inept Charlton looked in the first game and how CV's players were dropping like flies from about 80 minutes onward, a Charlton win in extra time looks very good value.
The smaller teams usually only get one go at it. Can see a comfortable 4-0….
This, I am expecting a relaxing evenings viewing, the most worrying thing about tomorrow night is it means visiting one of the worst grounds in the country in the second round.

Indeed, and not only the ground, the place itself is a shitehole of the highest order
Oh, and I think the shit away end is now only half the size it was - reduced because of (surprise, surprise) safety concerns !!!
I went to gillingham for the pre season friendly. Charlton fans were put in a side stand with gillingham fans behind both goals. No idea where we will be situated in the cup ( provided we beat Cray ). No idea how many tickets we will get either

We'll be behind the goal as per usual.
For regular games they only open it when they have a big away attendance
The last of the tickets went on sale to Cray Valley supporters over the weekend and due to the take up, we announce that we are SOLD OUT!
We apologise to those that have been unable to get a ticket and understand your frustration.
There has been criticism for the lack of ticket news on the club's website and social media channels. However, following intel received that away fans were looking to acquire tickets in the home areas a decision was made NOT to advertise general sales for tickets for Wednesday's FA Cup tie.
Our allocation has been taken up by club officials, staff, management, players, their friends and family along with season ticket holders, known supporters and sponsors. With the capacity strictly controlled anyone occupying a seat or standing place to watch the game must have a ticket, this includes members of the press reporting on the game etc.
A few remaining tickets were sold to those in attendance at the Artic Stadium on Saturday. We are a club run by just a small number of volunteers who have been working extremely hard in unprecedented circumstances. This is our first ever home all ticket match and with hindsight maybe things could have been done differently although it was never going to be possible to please everyone.
We hope you will understand and look forward to your continued support of the club.
Any breweries in the vicinity ? if so dont let this mob in to run it.

They're doing some work on the stand I think so capacity is reduced.

In the cup the away team entitlement raises from 10% to 15% , subject to police etc, so probably the scaffold end (I think's over 15%) but potentially both!

I think the top half of the stand behind the goal is condemned (not sure how the whole thing wasn’t condemned years ago) so will likely be the lower half of that stand and a bit along the sides.

I know because i had us in the 'beat the bookie' challenge!

I hope the forecast for it to stop is accurate.

The away ground does not have the facilities to collect from the ground.
Surely this is the bet to go for.
Play the first team & get the job done (10 days rest before the next league game)
