The FA Cup 3rd round draw takes place Monday. I still love the third round draw. The excitement of who get to take on, even if it is in front of a reduced crowd.
I’d love another crack at Man Utd, while the likes of Liverpool and Villa would be good fun as well. Really don’t want Wolves as I feel our style plays in to their hands, but also want to avoid another Championship team.
Prem teams only please (or a non league side, why not).
-
anyone in the north east away please!
-
Non championship ideally.
If we had to get a premier league side then I will go for Villa at home or Spurs away (new stadium) with a huge allocation.
Lower league I would like Solihull Moors.
-
Would love one of the lowest teams in the draw away, for a bit of a change! Living in the South i have an eye on the Bristol Rovers v Plymouth game and hoping Plymouth win but a draw away to either. Exeter away too would do.
Looking at team left; Solihull Moors, Chichester City, Dover, Boston, Crawley, Maidstone.
-
I'm off to watch the Walsall v Oxford game today. I'd love to play the winners.

Are we doing predictions?

We will be home to Burnley
-
41 v 44
It's been a long time and they owe us 8)
-
at home to 49 would be ok !
Hope we take cup seriously this season
-
Dings at the Custard Bowl
-
Liverpool at Anfield, it seems we are the only ones that can stop them .
-
64 please for those of us the live in the south west
-
Boro / Sunderland / Newcastle away please
-
I always say the same, somewhere away I've never been.
-
2008-12 we always drew Peterborough didn't we?
-
41v44 at the hawthorns
-
41v44 at the hawthorns
This season I would gladly take it. I have faith that we'd put in a good showing whereas Moore would have been completely tactically done by Nuno had it been last season
-
Hull or Forest Green away (providing the get past Carlisle first). Doncaster (if they get past Gillingham) would be okay too.
-
Gillingham or Doncaster. ;)
-
Home tie.
Players' won't be so travel lagged
-
;D Blackpool away :D
-
;D Blackpool away :D
You get 3 attempts at this with Fylde and Fleetwood in the draw.
On a selfish point, Lower league team at home as I'll be in Cape Town so miss it :D
-
Same as always for me the worst team possible at home. It's the first round on our way to being potential cup winners so the easier the better.
I continue to live in hope!
-
One of the following away will do me nicely (selfishly... ;D)
- Any London side
- Portsmouth
- Southampton
- Gillingham (Yes, a bizzare one but I've never been and it's easy enough to get to for me!)
-
Same as always for me the worst team possible at home. It's the first round on our way to being potential cup winners so the easier the better.

You've got to keep dreaming. FA Cup win no.6, it's about time, and we have a great manager and squad now...
-

Agree. No glamour ties, just as easy as possible all the way to the final and hope the big guns get shot down.
If we win the FA Cup by beating Barnsley in the final, our name will still be engraved on the trophy and i will go happy to my grave! :)
-

I went to all the matches in '68.
From Colchester away to the brilliant end.
(Keeping the Colchester stub made a Wembley ticket certain, even though I didn't know at the time of the Colchester match).
It would be really great if you young 'uns can have the same outcome.
-

Should have happened in '08. My generation being robbed of seeing the club win a trophy and then competing in Europe... not that I'm still bitter about it... >:( :P
-
I would love for us to repeat the feat of 1931, that no other club has achieved, FA Cup Winners and Promotion in the same season, a double double. COYB!!!!
PS just in case anyone, cruelly, thinks I witnessed that, well, for your information, I didn't, but my dad did ;D
-
Charlton away
-
Dire draw
-
We got Charlton away
-
What are the chances of this happening twice in both cup competitions this season.
League Millwall at home followed by League Cup Millwall at home
FA Cup Charlton away followed by Charlton away in the league
-
At the Valley twice in a week
-
If you are going to win it, you have to beat the best ;D
-
Winnable

And both teams from south-east London !

Won't be going to both, it's the league game for me.
-
Kick off times permitting I'm planning on being there for both. Unlike some others I still love the FA Cup and the league game's on my birthday. I'd already pencilled it in for a few soaks 8) .
-
Will be a new ground for me so will be making at least 1 trip.
-

I'm still bitter about it. Us vs Portsmouth should have been the final, and they beat us with a handball, and a team they couldn't afford.
-
I'll be going to the Cup game but probably not the league game.
Hoping that we can muster a decent cup run this year; QF's at least.
-

Glad it's not just me still feels that way about it!
-
rubbish tie but winnable. Hope Slaven gives it a real go.
-
£10 tickets I hope.
Trains should be cheap enough.
Lets hope it stays on the Saturday, one of us or villa may well be moved as we will both be travelling to London.
-
Still remember Tony Ford's winner in off a puddle at the Hawthorns, seem to remember having to stand on the Woodman corner cause of the queues to get in neat ko time - got bloody soaked - it lashed it down that day

I too agree - bloody annoying to this day.
Should have been ours!!!
-
The Valley pretty close to me. There are couple of Charlton lads were i work who will be going. Hope to get a ticket for this one.
-
Typical that we have drawn them twice in 2 weeks. Was split between which away to go to in January - Chalrton in the league to the FA cup tie. Got my answer on Monday.
-
Last time we played charlton in round 3 we were on a March in the league under total football Tony mowbray and got to the semi final hopefully we can replicate that.
The only blemish on billic record with us is our poor showing in the league cup. Hopefully we treat the fa cup with the respect it deserves
-
I think I'll be going for the romance of the cup option and trust SB to be putting out a decent team
-
Bond, Hegazi, Townsend, Willock, Brunt, Harper, Edwards, Zohore, etc all need some game time, strong enough options to beat Charlton without affecting promotion I would say.....
-

Those players definitely need some game time and augmented with a few 1st teamers and maybe a couple of U23's we can put out a team that will get the job done.
Something like:
Bond
Furlong O'Shea Hegazi Townsend
Barry Harper
Edwards Krovinovic Willock
Zohore
subs: Al Habsi, Ferguson, Bartley, Brunt, Diangana, Pereira, HRK .

Off the top of my head Albion, the Vile, Stoke, Derby and Leeds are all due to play on the same day at the moment. The journey to and from Euston and time spent near the station could prove interesting.
Ed: Leeds moved to Monday for TV.

Just a word of warning, it's still possible for the game to be moved to the Sunday, even if it's not being televised live. I wouldnt book anything until the club confirms the date

London St Pacreas to Charlton is a quick and very easy route.
Only a 15 minute walk from Euston also.
-
Confused ! Anyone who can walk from st Pancras to Charlton in 15mins should have a rack full of Olympic gold medals, and if you mean Euston to at Pancras is 15 mins the opposite applies, it’s virtually next door!!
Get the tube to the emirates skyline near the dome cross river on said skyline and a gentle stroll to the ground!

Derby play Palace in the FA cup, but Derby play on the Thursday night. So I would imagine that game is more likely to move and ours stay as-is. Bit your right it all gets confirmed this weekend.

My maps reckon 15 minutes, next door will do me!!

This is now down as Sunday at 14:01 on the FA website

Last season numerous FA Cup matches were moved to accommodate overseas television, beyond the normal UK live games.

Indeed it is, how incredibly f in irritating.

There's a good few advance fares at the moment, long as you don't mind getting a fixed time train...
You can go from New Street to Euston, or Moor Street/Snow Hill to Marylebone.
ie;

From Euston either;
1. Northern Line (black) Southbound (Morden) - alight at London Bridge.
2. From London Bridge, either a South Eastern Railway service to Dartford (Platform 6) or Cannon Street (Platform 1) OR a Thameslink service to Rainham (Platform 4). Probably be waiting, at most, 15 mins for any of them. Alight at Charlton and the ground is very near.
£4.30 if using contactless payment.
OR
1. 10 min walk east along Euston road to St Pancras Station (the pretty building, not King's Cross but right next door) ... or the Victoria Line (light blue) or Northern Line (black) will also take you there without having to go outside.
2. From St Pancras Platform A (it's underground down an escalator at the far end of the station), a Thameslink service towards Rainham. Every half an hour at :02 and :32. Journey takes 32min. Alight at Charlton.
From Marylebone:
- Same mainline trains but to get to St Pancras, a short walk (10 min) to Baker Street station, then any westbound Circle/Hammersmith&City/Metropolitan Line train (yellow/pink/purple).
- Or, to go to London Bridge instead, again a short walk to Baker Street station but this time it's the Jubilee Line (silver) southbound (toward Stratford). Alight at London Bridge.
If you have a half-decent phone, you should use an app called Citymapper; it's very useful for these situations. Make sure it knows where you are, tell it where you want to get to by address or on a map and it'll show you a choice of the quickest or otherwise best ways to get there by all public transport.
It even has data for the West Midlands now :P
-
And both teams from south-east London !
I hope I never get in your taxi!
Just looked at our up coming fixtures over Christmas / new year see what aways I might be able to do.
Almost certainly be a heavily weakened side in the cup because with how it falls this year the FA cup is right after 3 games in 6 days (thur-sun-wed).
-
Yep, been listed as a Sunday, that’s me out.
-
Sunday at 2.00pm rules me out of going to that.
-
Anybody remember last time we went to The Valley in the cup and that bird in the flats behind was entertaining the fans at half time with a strip show? ;D ;D

yes mate! The last twice i have been to Charlton she was performing. According to a copper in the ground it's a normal occurrence he even told us her name!!

There is a bkock of flats that over looks the ground onto the away end, this bird comes out on to the balcony and Strips off and starts jiggling her jugs! So up goes the cry of get your t!!ts out for the lads then after she as done this off comes the rest. To be fair though it's been about 8 years since i last went she may have moved or shrivelled up by now :o ;)

How do you know he drives a taxi?
If he doesn’t, why would you get in one that already has a fare ?
I’m concerned about your hobbies 😂

I missed the start of the game because of her the dirty cat, it was nothing to do with me being a pervy voyeur of course ;D .

Game confirmed for Sunday 5th January 2.01 kick off

Have I missed something?
Why the extra minute?

All games that weekend are kicking off a minute late something to do with mental health awareness.

Would someone be so kind as to come on here and indicate when the more central areas of the stand have been released for sale please I am a HST and don't fancy being in the far corner for this one
-

I went to a cup match at Leyton Orient, must be ten or twelve years ago. Similar arrangement with flats overlooking the ground and a rather well oiled young lady who (with significant encouragement from the baggies faithful), delivered a cleavage flash. I think that got a bigger round of applause than any action in the match!
-

I think quite a few are waiting for the next couple of blocks to go on sale before they purchase (me included) for this very reason, which unfortunatley means it's stuck with a couple of hundred tickets in the only 2 open blocks that nobody wants to buy. Hopefully the club realise and get the next blocks opened up.
-
Might speed things up if those wanting tickets for the more central areas bought one for the areas that are available and then swapped them over once the other areas are available. If that is possible.

I'm sure I've read somewhere that away ticket sale block order is at the discretion of the home team.
-
Just looked on the OS.
The order of block ticket sale release is the same for the league game too.
Utterly pants.

The league game is already down to the last 500 or so tickets - it's going to be a great away day out for us by the looks!
The Cup Game predictably sold most of the seats within 30 mins of it openeing but don;t know if Charlton will open up any more blocks now until the rest are filled. Will probably only be a 3rd of how many we are taking for the league the following week.

So far only the lower tier is on sale for both games. The lower tier holds about 1,950 and our maximum allocation is 3,400. The cup game is nowhere near sold out as only three blocks (A, B and C) have gone on sale thus far. I might have another look if there's anything decent in Block D (I prefer being central and to the back) for the cup game as I don't see us having a 3,400 turn out for a game which is being repeated the week after. I'll probably hold out for the upper tier going on sale in the league game though.

Sod it, in a moment of weakness I've just bought tickets towards the front for both games.
Can't miss the league game anyway, it's my birthday and the wife's paying ;D .
-
Sold just over 900 for the cup and over 1,500 for the League match.

damn, I was meant to put "Sold most of the seats in the middle block near the goal", didn't mean the whole thing, my bad.

Bit of a pooh show this, away season ticket holders offered corner flag lower only.

Bit of a rubbish show this, away season ticket holders offered corner flag lower only.
To be fair I am an away season ticket holder, and have found that by attending the ticket office, rather than going online, I have sometimes been able to get a ticket in an area not yet released online.
I am not sure whether this is the norm, and I do feel that this should always be the case for ASTH's and should be part of the deal. There are not that many of us for it to be a problem.

I'm a Home Season Ticket holder and called into the Ticket Office on the way to work a couple of days ago and got seats in Block D Lower even though that Block wasn't yet released online so yes, it does seem that if obtaining the tickets direct from the Ticket Office in person (appreciate for many this is not a convenient option) then more Blocks are available than if trying online only.
Not quite sure why this is? but the tickets showing as sold online for the Cup match don't reflect sales from Block D which you can get in person.
