If I remember right we was in there in our play off loss to crew. When the late Chris barker scored but we lost atmosphere was great that day. W block feels like it’s got flatter since the take over imo

That might be because the crowd level in W is being managed to only having ticket holders in there to it's capacity and not dangerously overcrowded...

There is someone in my seat every game. They always move.

Opening the 400 in X block would certainly stop this and spread the noise.

I’m sure they always move for you Tommy but my son is 15, the people occupying his seat are much older. I’ve told him to tell the stewards and offered to move them myself but .. 🤷‍♂️.. he doesn’t want the aggro.

Yeah you’re right about X block.
 
Yes, Block W is popular and has completely been outgrown, there are far to many persons in there now, but you cant blame them as that is were they want to be.

The beginning part of the season was good, season cards being looked at, and those not for block W was then moved on, and once again it was a safe place to stand.

Then on Saturday, Tickets were not being inspected, and Block W was rammed again, and again it was starting to get dangerous again, at times im having to pick kids up in front of me that have been bundled on by others and getting squashed, then seats are being broken by persons falling them.

Now im afraid that someone may get hurt in Block W and the powers to be then close the block or make persons in there made to sit down.

Now this would be no fault of the supporters as we have said in the past Block W is way to small now, open Block X also, make this standing and a singing section also.

SO, IN SHORT, OPEN BLOCK X, ON PERMEANT BASIS, MAKE THIS AN EXTENTION OF BLOCK W.

DO THIS OF THE NEXT GAME FOR HEALTH & SAFETY REASONS AND THE SAFETY OF ALL IN THAT AREA.

100% agree. Its getting ridiculous. Can't get up the steps as they are completely covered and seats often 3 deep.
 
Has there been any feedback from anyone as to the success of the repaired/new services in the NB? Anything from Charlton fans? I’m sure it will take a while to get it as good as it can be but any feedback would no doubt be useful to the club.

+1 !

Any photos of the areas now? Any information on the food offering?
 
The thing is collectively in W and X we’re looking at 700 - 800 capacity which on most bumper crowds we always tend to fill out when it’s selling pre-game instead of opened last minute on the day.

Then look at the north bank on Saturday, 1300 Charlton which is only 500 or so more fans than W + X, but yet it looked relatively packed. And just imagine the noise if only W block was in the north bank on Saturday - it would be electric. People say the north bank would be too big for TBV however you’d be surprised how full that will get on a big fixture of a strong promotion push..
 
Realistically, there is no way on earth that the North Stand will be made safe standing or available for home fans this season. And I'm not convinced that there are enough willing home supporters to fill a stand which is designed for 2k+ people. I realise that there is a strong call for a return to the North Stand but its always from the same minority on here. The big deal would be where to put the away fans.

Didn't TL already state that they were getting it ready for boxing day so they could specifically sell more home tickets in the NB?
