We were led to believe the 3000 there today would not be so bad as they had restricted sales to season ticket holder with high points allocations. All that policing and inconvenience for these.5

What I mainly take away from this is that anyone over the age of about 18 who is impressed by, fascinated with, or participating in this - on either side - is a tragic case of epic proportions.

No it doesn't get used but now I know it's always open I might make use of it if I'm at that end of the east stand and fancy an easy exit.Gribbo said:Was that gate meant to be used by anyone (home / or away fans) for today's game?0 -

There's always gonna be people there it's e to the stairs for the the fucking exit. Absolutely no need for their fans to be there as their exit is the other end....other than looking to have a row.Put your phone away and go and have a beer and samba on the beach or something

Don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere but I was out quickly at the end through the gate by the Media Centre, amazed to see two mounted police by Ransom Walk, with WPC on one horse charging at the leaving crowd and shouting 'Get back'. Was able to exit along Harvey Gardens towards the 'appointed route' but dozens behind the Covered End walking towards Floyd Rd, presumably oblivious of 'publicised' exit route.Latimer said:Well that didn’t work shambles1 -

That gate isn’t used by home fans, according to a previous poster, mate. I think it’s left unlocked in case of an emergency, and it’s down to the two stewards who drew the short straws to stop it being breached. As mentioned above, a couple of coppers being present might have prevented what happened...Off_it said:
Oh do fuck off mate.R0TW said:The blokes giving it the big un behind closed gates should have accepted what they generated. Not the poor fucker who didn’t want to know.
That little group who encouraged it should have remained and dealt with what they sparked, not run and left an innocent bloke to come second.
No rights or wrongs, but the small Charlton group enticed that.
How the hell do you know who started it?
Tell you what, what's more likely? The Charlton fans walking that way because that's the exit from that stand, or the Millwall fans who have walked in completely the opposite direction from their own exit? What reason do you think they might've done that for?
I'll leave you to have a little think about that.2 -

No the gate isn't used but it is right by the stairs that are used so Charlton fans would be walking by it. Millwall fans had no reason to walk that close towards it.Gribbo said:

I think I've sussed it. The unexcitable Millwall chaps had clearly been told that was the way for the jacuzzi, gear and brasses Charlton had laid on for them to complete their day. So they casually and in an orderly fashion walked towards the gate, only to be confronted by three or four of our herberts making their way out via their appointed exit.Gribbo said:Was that gate meant to be used by anyone (home / or away fans) for today's game?
Clearly they had no choice but to storm the gate, burst through it and start laying into random kids and families. They didn't want to, of course, but they had no option.8 - Sponsored links:

It's right by the exit from the East Stand. It's completely the other end from the Exit from the Jimmy Seed.5 -

A significant proportion of their fans are complete c***s. Watched on CAFCTV and headed out straight afterwards.
Completely forgot about the Unite the Kingdom protest and got stuck in it on the Strand. Gave up and headed home from CX in the end.
20 or so 40/50 something Millwall were on the train playing up. They picked out a lone Arsenal fan sitting reading his programme and started throwing punches at him. Funnily enough when 5 or 6 blokes jumped in to defend him they all melted.Pricks will on be on CCTV and nicked I hope. Police got on at Lewisham and were clearly looking for ‘someone’ strangely the aggro brigade were nowhere to be seen.0 -

We obviously give them 3,100 because it's the full end, but next season just give them 2k. There will still be a lot of bellends there, but 35% less bellends is an improvement.21 -

Don't know what prompted it, but it looked dangerous. Then they just rode off like nothing had happened.The vast majority of people were heading in the direction of Floyd Road and Ransom Walk, clearly with no idea about the restrictions. No stewards or police telling people to go the other way. It was a mess.1 -

Yes it was, but a police officer charging a horse at a Charlton fan in a very crowded area right in front of an exit that people were pouring out of is surely a bigger issue here than some outdated terminology?JohnnyH2 said:

That’s why I hate these c***s, and this is our Derby game.Karim_myBagheri said:The video of it is bloody embarrassing. Two stewards. A handful of Charlton fans. A couple of which acted like idiots.
a bunch of Millwall, some of which were attacking one Charlton fan at the end.
Just imagine if that gate separated our more up for it fans from them rather than the fans we have in the east stand. (Admin I can edit out the video from this post if you don't think it should be shared on this forum)
