[Albion] Carabao Cup Fourth Round: Charlton - 3rd allocation of tickets

[The Maharajah of Sydney]

You're right. Was at that game. We went in top of the table having beaten Sunderland 2-0 at Roker park on the Saturday and beating Charlton would have cemented that position. If memory serves me well we were on the massive terrace at the side.

No, we were behind one of the goals - I remember the Charlton keeper pulling down hard and wobbling the crossbar just prior to the penalty kick.
Don't think we were top , I'm sure that season was the season it changed from 2 pts to 3pts for a win and I seem to remember thinking we would of been top if the points for a win hadn't changed.

How come it is taking so long to agree the date and ticket allocation for Charlton away ?

Bizarre that Sky aren't broadcasting all of the games in this round. Premier League isn't back, the only televised clash I can find is Aberdeen v Rangers. 6/8 of the games are classic Premier League vs EFL cup ties as well...

Really don’t understand why not more of the league cup matches are televised. The demand would be there surely?

They might well be broadcast overseas just not in UK so streams and feeds on iptv will/maybe available.

It's odd as there are not really any limitations like the Premier League.

Only one live broadcaster, no Saturday 3pm games. The package sold by the EFL is for 15 games but it seems like a completely missed opportunity for the EFL. At the very least all EFL clubs would be set up to broadcast via iFollow if they didn't want to devalue that SkySports package.

What on earth is going on with the scheduling of this game? The TV games have been announced so why not this?

As was the case with the previous round, there are likely to be more games televised overseas than in the UK.

Given this, there's probably a reasonable chance that we will be televised somewhere, making dodgy streams accessible.

Dreaming of buying a striker or two with the league cup winners prize money.

100k !!!!!!!!

 

[Giraffe]

Any sign of the final date of this. Promised Mrs Giraffe dinner out that week and booked somewhere nice for the Wednesday assuming this would be Tuesday. Eek.

 

[Bob!]

This seems to indicate we are on the Tuesday.

But, only the 2 TV games plus Newcastle v Bournemouth have changed from the 'holding date' of Tuesday 20th.

The Arsenal game wasn't broadcast anywhere - no streams. Very surprising given it was 1st v 6th in the Premier League!

 

[Luke93]

Strange how there’s still no date / ticket info.

 

[kevo]

If we only get 3,000 allocation, expect a massive binfest..

I wanna go with the wife and take my daughter to her 1st away game, doubt I will have enough points.

 

[Guinness Boy]

I'm pretty sure we will only get 3k. It'll be the away end we were in last, behind the goal.

Just use the points system and restrict tickets to one each and it should be fine. I don't see tickets going beyond the second tier though.

We haven't yet sold out the Southampton game... and that went to anyone with a purchase history.

 

[HCxUK]

Looks like most of the other teams kicking off at 1945 on 20/12 have started selling tickets/confirmed the date - I'd assume the delay is due to negotiation over the away allocation and ticket prices.

Hopefully we get more than 3k - Charlton fans don't seem confident of selling that many tickets so they'd be mad not to
