    moving from the Valley would cost many millions as, at present, a sale of the Valley is not available to finance any move. If we eventually buy back the Valley, what is the point of moving unless we get into the Premier ? and then, move to where ?
    Heard Lincolnshire has been talked about. 
    lol loads a space in Lincs .. alas, not many Addicks fans

    I agree with the opening of a 'Just giving page' 🤥 to raise funds for the buying of the Valley and Sparrows as the days of walking round with buckets for 'Ronnie Moore'* must be behind Cafc as we bolding go where Charlton haven't been before into being a well run club.
    Possibly Richard Murray part 1 of tenure with Peter Varney was the only time before.

    May be best to strengthen our team first and get the landlord to put locks on all the bogs.

    41k tickets sold for Wembley and 9k on the waiting list…(somebody correct me if I misheard that)

    The club has to be disappointed with only 10k STs sold if these numbers are accurate

    I am a past ST holder but cannot get home from Tuesday night matches, guy I go with is in the same boat. I used to have an option of staying in the old family home but that has now gone. An ST will only become feasible in the Premiership with fewer evening games. But we were part of the 41k, along with a dozen from Basingstoke or further afield.

    1 in 4 people who attended Wembley as season tickets sounds reasonable to me.

    Well the fans are disappointed with their pricing structure.

    Really? So 75% were merely hangers on/glory boys & girls?

     I exclude the international Addicks in that and the following comment, but the lack of commitment of some really irritates me. 

    We all know the effect of a packed Valley on the team/opposition and what a great atmosphere we create. Support your club, like the current 10,000 of us.

    ST holder since 74/75 come rain or shine.

    Well for a start there were a lot of younger kids at Wembley. Obviously they're going to go for a big day out at Wembley, but getting a season ticket when there will be quite a few night matches isn't practical.

    I also know of a couple of mates who won't get a season ticket because their kids play football on a Saturday morning and they wouldn't make any home games that are moved to 12.30.

    So i'd imagine for a lot of people with kids, it's probably easier to just wait and see when the games are scheduled for and then pay on the day for games they can make. If you're going to potentially miss 4-5 games then a ST isn't worth it.

    Plenty of people attend regularly don’t have season tickets. Harsh to call them hangers on and glory boys. An awful lot of those at Wembley (40% ? ) Would have been wives, GF’s and family members with an attachment to Charlton without being regular attenders.

    I got my 1st ST around that time, it was £5 for kids and £10 an adult.

    I have four season tickets but there were 10 of us at Wembley wife and two daughters who have work and child commitments on Saturday two other grandchildren children (one of whom I may have to buy an additional season ticket for now) and a nephew who works some Saturdays but attends matches when ever he can and I am sure that there were very many at Wembley with a similar situation doesn’t diminish their support but explains why we will have 10-11,000 season tickets. To me Wembley just illustrated the potential of the club and hopefully we are now in a better position to realise it.

    The word 'list' was not used. He said we had around 9k more waiting for tickets after our 41k were sold. Very different!

    Rodwell sounds like somebody who knows how to manage "up". His CV is reasonable.

    1 in 5 if you include the waiting list, no? Still seems low take up. 

    I agree with @Chris_from_Sidcup about the price point

    I'll be interested to see how long he lasts once Murphy's clearance comes through. Does come across like someone that's a smooth talker.

    I think it's fair to say that lots of people who had season tickets now  only buy tickets for when they can attend since the EFL agreed to Sky switching days and  kick off  times.

    How did they arrive at that figure?

    Bottom line is each to their own
    Lets firstly take the Possitive
    Wembley showed what a large fan base we have
    Secondly the club is on the up and I’m sure that will be reflected in increased crowds at the Valley next season

    i think it’s totally understandable that some will have to pick and choose their games due to their own circumstances and also because of the shitty EFL deal meaning so much fixture disruption

    Lets enjoy the season when it starts and

    Jordan said we need a ten year lease if we go up, we dont currently have that. 

    Was also coy when asked if we would move. 
    Has to be coy really. Even if they didn't want to move the threat of moving is something to bargain with RD I assume.

    I’m not sure that is a good bargaining position - surely if we move from the valley that gives RD the green light to sell the valley to a developer ? Planning permission won’t be granted all the time r we are using the ground

    What would be more interesting is for Jim White to get the take from RD on this.
