Charlton away

Am I right in thinking coach is free for everybody

[Jenny]

Where have you seen that?

I was under the impression that the cost of insurance against postponed matches etc was that high that the supporters club no longer took it out, meaining that free coaches would have to be funded by the supporters club or the club themselves.

[silent majority]

The club are paying for the coaches.

They're paying for 4 coaches and the advice is to book early, first come first served, when they're gone that's it.

[Jenny]

Nice of them to announce it before people book their non refundable train tickets for a second time...!!

[silent majority]

They're still sorting it Jenny. There has been some considerable confusion behind the scenes because the promised funding didn't come, ( I shouldn't expand on that!) and to their credit, again, the club have committed to fill the gap. The only reason I mention it now is because it was discussed this afternoon, and I'm sure the club will give a heads up when they can.

I take your point though!

As martin has ssid  the club only notified us on saturday that they  would  pay for up to 4 coaches  as previous  talks  about  funding the coaches fell through    think  fantadtic gesture  from the club

[Jenny]

I think its a great gesture, I just think a little more thought should have gone into it given that the game is only 3 weeks away and people will have made other arrangements.

I also think that first come first served is a little unfair if the coaches sell out - priority should certainly be given to those who travelled to the original fixture.

I'm going on the train. Well done Rovers big thumbs up I'm not bothered £13 quid return when I booked it and I'd rather more turn up with this free travel.
