    However I quite like the fact we are just very organically selling healthy away followings without having to beg people to go , likewise was incredibly shocked and impressed by the 23k home sales for Wednesday which was high priced and hardly any promotion around it (even though it was miles off actual attendance) 

    Retained their season ticket sales from last season no doubt.  Have always been relatively well supported in that neck of the woods, Norwich as well.

    I think it's possible. If 2,300 went on sale the last block of 500 had maybe 300 left by 11am, then that's 2000 all told (assuming all away allocated blocks went on sale).
    The last block never actually went on sale, although there was no reason it couldn't have done. However, that was down to Hull and not Charlton as it was their decision not to sell that block.

    The block that wasn't sold couldn't have been sold to Hull fans as the only access to it was through the away end. It also wouldn't have required extra stewards.

    A few of us were stood in it, but most people congregated in the areas where we actually sold tickets.

    I am definitely not a fan of tickets being sold block by block at away games as the ones where this has had the biggest problems have seen our fans be much quieter.

    Yes, looked like around 1400 ? Hard to tell exactly how many. But definitely a decent turnout from us

    Looking around the valley last week i would have said it wasnt miles off 23,000
    It was. The crowd was differently distributed but there were obviously more than 4,000 empty seats.

    The number of empty seats in West C, D and E, around the directors’ box, is striking. These are heavy with season ticket holders, so it appears they were substantially abandoned by match purchasers. I wasn’t sure if H had been given away as it was sold out on the system but it may have been people migrating there for cheaper seats. It was not full.

    Agreed. Looked much emptier than most other homes this season and certainly Watford which was 21.5k

    Those seats are £40 a pop i bought some for my sisters , Neice and nephews and they bought mates along who didn’t realise the price and they said they’re not coming again cos too lumpy .

    I have not bought a programme for 5 years, but in the past we'd produce the away support for all fixtures.

    Wasn't on either clubs full time report and we always put it on ours. Looked around 1200 but quite a strange one that no one has the official figure

    Hull daily mail had us at 1,500. Was the only figure I could find for away numbers

    It looked like a state secret from the off. When Charlton were selling the tickets the silence was deafening.

    guessing the number is usually pointless TBF because fans universally get it completely wrong. There was a group of West Brom fans on the train back to London Bridge on Tuesday night rubbishing the size of the Valley crowd and claiming they had 3k there that night that boosted the number despite the empty seats in that stand and the actual figure for them being less than half at 1453.
