All good mate, I've slagged off the club shop relentlessly in my latest vlog, lack of replica shirts and proper Charlton merch on a play-off game, massive no no.
I understand it's a wembley game & appreciate not everyone in attendance will be a 'proper 'fan, but the volume of tickets & the speed in which they've sold shows the fan base is still there & the potential for the club is still huge.
I think there's a real feel good factor around the club at the moment & the future looks bright, regardless of Sunday's result!!
I think most medium sized London football clubs could sell 40,000 tickets for a one off, promotion decider at Wembley tbf.
Same as I think every London based club could get 35-40,000 most weeks in the PL, if given the stadium to do so, including Barnet and Bromley. As that is the nature of English football these days.
Which means I do agree with you, there is great potential. But in the Championship you have a fair few clubs that average 25-40,000 on a regular basis. So until that happens, you need owners that step up.
Bromley and Barnet, come on, that's taking it a bit too far.
Pisstake that genuine Charlton fans won’t be able to get a ticket when about half our allocation will be going to friends of Charlton fans that fancy a day out
Yes and those people might enjoy the day and become new fans.
No they won’t because 99% of those people will be fans of other football teams.
This is such a load of bollocks btw.
So people are just bringing people who have no interest in football?
It was the same for the previous two finals, lots of tickets sold for people who were not Charlton fans.
How do you know this?
In the group I was in, plus hearing of other stories.
Our group on Sunday is two spanners, a newcie, three just along for a day out and six Addicks.
This thread is mental. Meanwhile, over at the Orient forum, the longest ticket thread is 4 pages long. If you need to save yourself some time, become an Orient fan.
Like all great threads on this forum over the years, this one has now entered the mad phase.
