Charlton sold out?

[Bold Seagull]

Yes, but that's irrelevant as we are not going to any extra seats - this was a discussion about the capacity of the Jimmy Seed stand.

Sorry, I sort of realised that as I posted and added the Millwall attendance. As you were.

I called CAFC just now and was told they would not sell to anyone who did not have a purchase history. [MENTION=1792]fataddick[/MENTION], do you think there are season ticket holders who will be present on the day, protesting, who would exchange their ST for a contribution to your protest fund?

Charlton have taken match ticket sales off their website for the game currently.

Perhaps they are reconsidering their refusal to allocate more tickets.

we could sell another 3k easy I think.... EASY

Just a bit. I was literally propped up by the bar in The Standard by the end of the night.

Love the irony of wanting to support their protests to get rid of their owners, but coughing up £25 or whatever straight into their owners pockets, and still requesting more

I couldn't give a **** about their protest I hope they go down.

27,000 capacity. Just say an average ticket price is £25, that is a max match day ticket revenue of say £675,000.

They'll have what, 12,000 empty seats for this game, £300,000 lost ticket revenue. Steward off a section of the West Stand, move a few ST holders give them a voucher or something (there is hardly ever anyone in those blocks over the past 2 seasons so can only be a handful of ST's in there), sell 3k more tickets to the Albion and make a further £75,000 +sundries. If they were originally going to be say 15,000 attendance in total at @£375,000, then doing that will increase that day's gate receipt by 20%. Honestly, I'd be a bit miffed if we weren't doing the same thing in the same position...Maybe they could even provide some coaches from Brighton like they once offered?

While that is all true, the cost of policing the crowd would likely increase dramatically if they do opt to give us more.

Would it? I thought it would be a categorised game to a level whether there are a few extra thousand away fans or not. Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't think the police were that number sensitive that a few thousand extra fans would make a difference to a game they'll be policing on an assumed attendance of 15 to 20k. Maybe I'm wrong on that

 

[Marmaduke]

So... I live in Blackheath. I have an SE3 postcode.

Do you you reckon if I forced myself to buy two tickets and go to Charlton v Derby game on the 16th, they'd let me buy 4 for the Albion game?

No idea tbh. When there have been post-match demos arranged, quite a few people (including absentee ST holders) have just turned up for those protests. However, there haven't been official after match protests the past couple of games (getting the game delayed by chucking stuff on the pitch at kick off seems to be the new tactic) and those people wouldn't be turning up until towards the end of the match anyway. The main protest group only announce at midday on matchday what form that day's protest will take, so it's difficult to know before then if it's something that will attract absentee ST holders...

Looks like a day on the piss in London then !!

Then you've got a short memory, or you are indeed a kid, Frankie. Whatever the sins of Charlton the club, the Charlton fans were hugely supportive of us when we needed it. The very least we could do is empathise now the boot's on the other foot.

Or I have my own reasons?

No one can have their own reasons, feelings or 'I reckons' this is NSC damn it

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Or he could simply say why, Mr Sock. It may shed some light on a post which, without that context to enlighten us, looks pretty churlish.
