Fanzone and away fans

Sign outside the FZ does say ‘Home fans only’ - but other than having club colours/tops clearly on show , I’d have no idea how you’d be able to tell

Would they not check your ticket?

Been in a few times, never had my ticket checked. Unless you’re wearing away colours or are some sort of obvious northerner then I wouldn’t imagine anyone being stopped from going in.

might be a silly question, but are away fans allowed into the fanzone? I haven’t seen any segregation but away fans are normally directed straight to the JS stand. 

I've seen away fans in the Fanzone and there was no problems . Probably best not to wear colours if you want to be sure to get in. 

There were a few Stevenage fans in colours in the Fan Zone recently when we played them. It wasn’t a problem,..as it wasn’t an issue for them when we played at their ground earlier in the season when Charlton fans were in the Home bar before and after the game. It’s not that difficult to identify the ones that you might not want in there.

The flat cap and whippet might give away northern away fans.

I was thinking more some sort of Mancunian stereotype bowling in looking to have a couple of beers in the sun-shiiiine!

Exactly this. This lot below you wouldn't want in. 

I believe there's a maximum limit of 3 visible stone island badges per fan allowed in the Fan Zone.

i actually have no problem with this as long as we choose which away fans - happily mix with the Oxford and Cambridge fans. Obviously Gillingham or Leyton Orient or any where outside the home counties should just be a blanket ban for obvious reasons.

Oxford and Cambridge both have their fair share of wanky supporters. 
Only last season a Charlton coach had it's window broken after the game up there.

clearly being set up, probably gills fans. Oxford and Cambridge wouldn't do that

Leyton Orient?

Definitely NOT Orient. The over crowded area where the pokey kiosk is located by the toilets, and selling beer poured from a can is no way to treat away fans, especially those that have been charged top dollar for the ticket. If that’s the way they think away fans should be treated then they can do one.

Boy , don’t remind be of the early seventies 
At those two grounds. Once again always went off at Cambridge ever since that first game at The Abbey.

Yes, I would say some of the worst violence iv seen at any Charlton game was in the seventies at Cambridge.  Low level policing on the day, left them unable to handle what was going on.
