Hotel Football. 400 yards from the ground. I'll book when the fixture is confirmed.

Manchester is an hour and a half from me. I'll be in the pub from 2pm.

Red Army!

Need to figure out how I’ll get there and back from Leeds minus the car that day 😬

Let me know if you figure it out!!

Getting there shouldn’t be an issue. Train (if possible) or coach. Getting home is unlikely so could be a hotel. 

If the trains aren't on strike you can get a train from Manchester to Leeds all through the night because of the airport.

How much will they give us do we know? 

League Cup rules state that the home team must give at least 10% of capacity to the away support.

So 7400 tickets available minimum.

Club has discretion to take less though. Nobody down there will have any idea of what we’ll want. They also have no experience at all of running a big away travel operation.

We don’t need another embarrassing ‘Operation Ewood / Riverside’.

Just get on a train or get on a car & get yourself up the M6.

if you get there early have a few beers in Dean Street..

It really isn’t hard. We’re big boys & the club shouldn’t have to hold our hand.

There’s plenty of old, young, and disabled who do need the club to arrange travel support

Fair comment. I appreciate that.

My message was more in frustration about the negativity of Airman’s reaction to a fantastic cup draw. 

I get that the club are short staffed and less experienced than they were in the past but we’ve just landed an absolute peach of a cup tie and it doesn’t help when the first thing an influential guy like Rick says is ‘the club would have no idea what we want’.

I mean I am sure they are capable of booking a few coaches…how hard can that be!

Get behind the club and help us get out of the current predicament rather than constantly slagging the club off. This draw is great news and something to be excited about.

We've got two and a half weeks for this to go well. Based on all available evidence around the club's running of late - last night, for instance, with Brighton - then this could be a disaster.

Airman has this sort of thing ingrained into how he has interacted with Charlton all his life basically so I don't think it's fair to knock him for that. He's probably well excited about the draw, like we almost all are, but fair enough if he posts about what needs to be done

@killerandflash

this is what i'm talking about - so far in the last two hours it's been;

 "we won't sell out our allocation and have to send tickets back" 

"Manchester United won't sell out their own ground for this"

"It could be a disaster for our less abled fans to travel there"

But apparently it's me who is reading a different thread..  the negativity is palpable. This is what's being said after two hours of the draw ffs.

Two of those are arguably true though. I think we’ll sell out our allocation, but Man U probably won’t if there were 12k unsold for Burnley. It’s extra cash during tough times, they’ll all think it’ll be one sided, and will probably be more interested in the semi final and/or final.
It’s a great draw for us, whether you make it to the game, or watch it on TV.

Trains won't be on strike. They are out the whole week before (RMT and ASLEF between them).

Really hope we can have 1/2 additions early Jan that can play for the United game. Stockley vs Varane gives me nightmares. 

But surely most decent options will be cup-tied?  Unless we try and get players from clubs that went out after one game.

Messi, Mbappe, Griezmann, Pedri, Gavi, Benzema - none has been involved in the EFL Cup.

Just saying


Mbappe - would be a good partner for Stockley’s  flicks

Exactly what the loyalty points system was implemented for. Fairest way to do it

True but i honestly don't see an issue.

It's not a Saturday 3pm game, so i'm pretty sure anyone who wants to go will be able to get a ticket regardless of where they fall in the points system.

Bet the club will be stupid and wont run a Valley Away service...

Even if they do it'll probably be one or two coaches, especially if there is to be a Rail Strike!!

Back in 74 the only way to get up to Manchester was make your own way up there.
Lewis Coaches said no coach travel due to too much trouble up in Manchester.

As I recall 9 of us back of Bedford van went up together . Cost of ticket seats 1 pound 10 pence .

I went by train. 

With the club?

Just booked into the Hilton Garden Inn for the week at £258 a night, but what price do you put on watching Charlton beat Man U in their own back yard
