Pre-Match Thread Charlton Away

[simac21]

Can someone confirm whether it is seat in allocated seat or sit where you like Saturday? As been to away days with big followings and people sit where they like and it's actually supposed to be sit in your allocated seat, which does cause arguments because people don't move!!

Why are we playing players in left back that ain't left backs when Coker is injured, Kypriano the youngster is a left back surely throw him in??

Timlins best performances this season have been at left back. He covered very well when Coker was out for a while earlier in the season

The Charlton tickets have Block numbers, Row and seat numbers, so unless told otherwise at the ground I would think it is allocated seating.

I've naturally never sat in the away end at Roots Hall, but does anyone know if we also print, block, row and seat numbers on our away tickets also?.. Looking towards the north bank, it always seems fans just sit randomly where they want to. I can't recall ever seeing our own stewards getting involved with away fans about seating allocations?

Although, we might bring around 2,500 Shrimpers on match day, bearing in mind I believe that away stand holds about 3,100, there would still be plenty of free seats to sit wherever, & it would be down to us "the individual fans" to police it between us.

I think for most games the away fans at Roots Hall get unallocated seats. Although I don't like it when we make away fans sit in the first block, we should let them all have up to the block behind the goal even if only a couple of hundred of them.

I completely agree about the block thing, but disagree about the un allocated seating.

It always looks odd when you have just a few hundred sitting in the north back all together (on the right hand side, closest to the east). and they follow their ticket allocation but never spread any further.

When I watch the shrimpers away, regardless. I always want to be sitting behind the goal. If I get moved, "no problem".. I just sit further away. Not a problem to me, as others with families etc could do with the away match day experience.

The issue with unallocated seating, is that if a group of would-be coin throwers want to all gather next to the home section, without any policing, then someone could hop over the wall and get himself banned for helping out with crowd control!

I understand the press day tomorrow is coming from Little Havens to further promote this. Commercial Director Danny Macklin will be taking part in the walk along with Trust members, there will be collection buckets taken around the away end by members as well.

Thanks, on behalf of everyone, to TZ for their kind donation via the Just Giving page.

If anyone has any doubts about why we're doing this for Little Havens, then this video might help...

Or you can read my daughter's story here http://www.friendsofkatie.co.uk/ It truly is an amazing place where all their services are free. They rely heavily on the generosity of the public as they only receive limited government funding.

Ordered my tickets online last Friday and not received them yet. Anyone else had the same issue? I do live up north and have had this problem with the ticket office before.

Up North too and got Charlton, Chesterfield and Shrewsbury without issue. They come recorded so did have to go and collect from Post Office. Have you had a card from the Postman through the letterbox?!

I'd echo that. If anyone should get the opportunity to visit LH, please do so, it's a real eye-opener and the work they do is fantastic!

I've heard that Wells Fargo is still an excellent delivery service Up North :thumbsup:

purchased ticket on line a couple of hours ago no confirmation email....can ticket be printed or do you have to pick up?

 

[Tommy2holes]

Love to see 3000 shrimpers in that away end. Think it will definately be over 2500.

Could be the away day if the season.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

I guess that opens up the question....when was the last away League game that we took over 3,000 to :unsure:

Now, that was a day to remember. Fans were different class that day.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Was that the "Alan Ball" game ?

I don't think they can be printed, no, I think you'll have to go and pick it up.

I got mine in the post today. See you all there. Come on you Blues! :smile:
