Ive decided I'm going to camp in the West Stand car park from Wednesday to try and get a prime spot for when the Wrexham celebrities arrive. Suspect many others will be too.
Will we have to buy parking tickets for our tents now the new non-Matchday parking restrictions are in play in the car park?
In booked in to have a Charlton v Wrexham 26/10/24 tattoo on Tuesday. So excited.
Sorry to burst your bubble AFKA, but I think they’ll have a box in the East Stand, like Mr Sheeran.
They'll turn up in disguise as Deadpool having camped out all night in the car park to blend in with people doing the same. Absolute circus detracting from a football match, kick off will be delayed doubtless. I have genuinely had people ask me over the last 24 hours if I'm ready for the big one next week etc. I am indeed, train, accommodation, ticket for Barnsley booked ages ago. Maybe I'm being a bit precious or getting old but there seems to have been this obsession with Wrexham from the day the fixtures were published
I hope we sell out as it would be great for Charlton to have a bigger home match attendance in a L1 match this season than either of Millwall or Palace in the leagues above.
I think the parking will be a big issue next Saturday.
Thanks for that 😂
For anyone with moderate mobility it’s been fine with crowds of 10-12,000-ish despite the restrictions. I think next Saturday will be completely different because the area south of the park will be overloaded, which will probably push people the wrong side of Shooters Hill Road. It’s an unknown scenario, because we’ve never had a 20,000 crowd with these restrictions and no one, certainly including the council, can know until it happens. I suspect a lot of people will be driving around looking for a spot after 2pm.
Reckon there'll be a fair few who haven't been to The Valley since the parking restrictions were put in place will get caught out chancing it after 2pm if they haven't found a space anywhere else. Wouldn't surprise me if the council have more wardens out and about than usual to potentially cash in.
Apparently at 2.55 Mark Groombridge is going to parachute out of a plane carrying the match ball whilst live vlogging and screaming ‘League One is sh*t, what am I doing?”
The parachute fabric will be red, nylon, and carrying the words ‘Welcome to Wrexham - Season 4 Coming Soon’
For one game only, the pre matching handshakes between the teams are being replaced with High Fives and whooping
Hope not. Already too many people who think that the first half kicks off at 3.10, finishes at 3.40 & restarts around 4.10pm.
It also amazes me that they dont seem to care about the game but have to stop on the stairs when there is an attack commencing to watch the action.
If you dont care enough that you have to get your pie & pint at 3.40 then ffs piss off & don't block the view of those wanting to watch the match.
Fucking plastics.
Do you sit in the family stand Golfie? It could be me you’re describing although to be fair it is normally nearer to 3:35 I head down.
I’ve been going home and away for about 40 years so not sure I’m a plastic, but I do know that the half time pint and chat with my pals and family has been the best part of the Valley experience for much of the last 15 or so mostly shite years. And if you can handle watching us scrape draws against the likes of Stevenage or Fleetwood without alcohol then all power to you but I’m afraid you will still have to stand up for a millisecond in the 35th and 55th minute to let me get back to my seat because I can’t! Sorry!

I'm going to stick up for Golfie a bit on this one. If you want to have a pie and a pint at 3.40pm then that's fine. You decide to miss 5 minutes of the match, that's your choice. However, you can't change your mind halfway up the stairs and block the view of other spectators. Either go or don't go. It's selfish to stop to get your view on the stairs and block that of others who decided to stay and watch.
Oh, and btw - there was a time when golfie was the life and soul of the party. One time he inexplicably* took off all his clothes and ran naked around the garden. Sober, too, he was. *Maybe Carl Leaburn had scored that weekend

I hope we sell out as it would be great for Charlton to have a bigger home match attendance in a L1 match this season than either of Millwall or Palace in the leagues above.
But not because we are good (relative to them) but because our opponents are seen as a bigger attraction at The Valley than the home team. That’ll put them in their place.

Do Palace play teams worse than us very often ? Considering the level of clubs they play, I'd try find the positive if we have more turn up.

I find it strange that a football fan would be prepared to miss over 20 minutes of a match for the sake of a beer
It must be me, I don't get the hype around Wrexham, just because a couple of 'celebrities' own them! I could understand if we're selling out because of football, but just because some Hollywood stars, may or may not be there, and may or may not be seen, is stupid! However if it boosts the clubs coffers all well and good, but I reckon die-hard fans, may have their day upset by 'autograph' hunters!

It’s because of the TV show, lots of people now feel connected to Wrexham as they have seen inside the club. People are flying in from all over the world to watch games now.

No, but they fill the majority of the ground with their own supporters, not tourists or those there primarily to see the other team.
This could be all very embarrassing if it ends up with less than 20k in the ground. That initial rush of ticket sales was probably just touts thinking they’ll going to be able to make a fortune selling them on.

If it were just about meeting mates for a pint and a chat and the football is secondary then why not just meet down the pub? The beer would be better and cheaper and you could spend more on it because you wouldn’t be spending the money on a match ticket.
I too find it infuriating when people arrive late, leave ten minutes before half time, come back ten minutes after the second half has started, then twenty minutes later need a wee so go out again. In the process missing at least 30 minutes of the game. Same applies with people eating burger and chips. At four in the afternoon?
