    It doesn't say, but it's towards the away end.

    "The ticket office will reserve two blocks, one in the Alan Curbishley Stand, and one in the West Stand where supporters who prefer to wear masks throughout the event, will be able to do so. Supporters who wish to take this up should contact the ticket office in advance of game."

    Whoever said it hit the nail on the head. Its more likely to be the thought of using the train to get to the ground than being outdoors in the stand. I've got other people I need to think about, don't want to risk the train and Greenwich Council suddenly deciding all of the places I used to park are now going to be enforced

    Why would you take the piss out of someone for wanting to wear a mask?
    I knew I'd get a silly response like this. The answer is because he's my brother and taking the piss out of each other is what brothers do.

    I want to take my dad but he’s quite vulnerable and in his mid eighties. He has a season ticket but it’s really busy around where we sit. The issue is if we sit in the mask areas there are still risks (for my dad) around going from the car, crowds around the ground, queuing for the turnstiles. I may look at parking in the ground but that is £36 so needs a bit of thought.

    Pay the 36 quid mate, that means you are doing all you can do to limit risk to your dad and if anyone asked you to put a price on time at football with your dad you wouldn't blink at 36 quid. Get what you are saying as that adds up over 10 games let alone a whole season

    For the last few seasons my Dad was alive, he paid for us to park in the West Stand car park and it really was worth every penny. It enabled him to carry on visiting The Valley when his mobility problems meant that he needed a wheelchair to get around.

    My big regret was that when he was in a care home, he asked me if it would be possible to get him to Charlton, but I had to tell him it wasn't possible. By this time he couldn't get out of bed, was doubly incontinent and I couldn't have coped with that.

    Make the most of every chance you have to get your dad to The Valley

    Currently on a train down from Yorkshire for tomorrow’s match. Hardly any masks in site, I will be sitting in my dads seat tomorrow. 

    I do think you would be very unlucky to catch it at the ground. 

    Great idea by the club though.

    I've got a brother. If he wanted to sit in a covid safe area because he was concerned, the last thing I'd do is 'take the piss out of him'.

    I'm sure you don't take the piss out of him for everything. That would be ridiculous. "Ha ha. Look at you having breakfast...etc." So, returning to the question, why take the piss out of him for sitting there?

    Oh the banter flies during lunchtime Cloudworm. Today I saw him and said "ha ha. Look at you eating a sandwich". We were laughing for hours. It was a proper roasting.

    Sounds hilarious. I’m sure you have a lot of fun. I think maybe you realise you’ve misread the room. People have genuine concerns over the spread of the virus and yet you’re taking the piss out of people for taking steps to arrest the spread of it. I don’t know you. I’m sure you’re ok really. I just think you’re part of the reason why the infection rate is rocketing up again.

    time and a place. That’s all.

    Bringing SEB into your argument is below the belt IMO.
