I will miss this game as I have a long planned trip to The Lakes for a fell walking weekend. There are 4 other Rovers ST holders going, as well as a dingle, and we have planned it that we should be down from Sca Fell and in The Woolpack Inn (not the dingle one) in time to get pi$$ed watching the Rovers on Sky Sports.

I did have a chat with my good mate Kate Garraway and she agreed to come out of her short retirement to do a ditty for Drog on the basis that all of you wear the attached KG mask on match day:

Just for our Gordon:

“There was a young admin called Gord
Who put Benjamin Kayenne to the sword.
He told Ben that Corbyn is a Commie
Who shag*ed Dianne Abbott for money
And donated it to a Palestinian cause.”

Katie also has a couple of additional photographs although their provenance cannot be assured. The first is her dressing in a nice Rovers blue, the second looks like a minor wardrobe malfunction whilst getting togged up to watch the Rovers:

Back to the match.......hopefully Bradley Dack will be focussing on the job at hand rather than his c-list girlfriend or attacking police after a beer too many. This should be a promotion party and I hope the Venkys have the good grace to attend and warm themselves in the adulterous (?) applause from the Rovers fans.

As always I will be a bag of nerves, the season is not over until we have secured promotion, only then will be Mann’s Brown Ale (the Nabs Head at Samlesbury have some in for me) will be cracked open, the cow heel boiled and chitterlings warmed.

Finally an end of season warning:- do not eat too much chicken as this is what happened to a Venky Express customer in Pune:

SOLD OUT:

We’ve received word from Charlton that there are no further tickets available for away fans ahead of next week’s game. Details of beambacks to follow in due course.

Home tickets are also on restricted sale to reduce infiltration- perhaps Momentum should be able to advise on how best to infiltrate?

Many people might not know this but The Valley used to be the biggest ground in the country in terms of capacity. Many times squeezing in crowd in excess of 70,000 in their halcyon days of post WW2 Britain. Seems odd that they can't squeeze a few more of the "northern horde of uncouth garb and strange oaths (... like a tribe of Sudanese Arabs let loose)" into their current 27000 all seater stadium which boasts an average attendance of just over 11000.

There's only Palace at home in London on the same day, so they can't use The Met as an excuse.
Rovers need to be more insistent, that in the interests of public safety, Charlton make more tickets available to Rovers to stop the purchasing of tickets in the home stands by the many thousands of ex-patriot blues who reside in London.

Gawd knows how Charlton are playoff contenders. When I watched them at the Valley a couple months back they were fucking awful. Bad day at the office, I guess? Or just a damning indictment of L1 quality.
I guess when you were there Amo, you secured your ticket for 28th April?

You know bloody well it was not £25 for a curry but it suits your twisted purposes to keep repeating it. It's getting irritating now but the whole afternoon was probably a bit too sophisticated for you to appreciate.

If there's sufficient pressure applied by Rovers wanting tickets in the home sections, I'm sure they'll relent and issue more.
Charlton's ticket office manager is Katie Cowling and the number is 03330 144444 for anyone that may be interested!
