Eddie Wolvesathome was the ref. 

Do you know things like that off the top of your head or did you have to some quick research on him?

No messing about Vale, go for a win by a couple of goals.

A win by one goal would do me.

Tony Naylor hat-trick

Was that the game after scoring he pretended to smoke a cigar after getting his hattrick ?

I remembered it for some bizarre reason. I also remember Naylor’s celebration with the cigar!

Pain in the backside to get to once in London. Previously I tend to get a bus from North Greenwich near the o2 arena, anyone reckon anything is a better option? 
 

Not been since their Prem era and the ground looks very impressive these days as bigger than Millwall, Orient and even Palace.

I am traveling by train from Gravesend. Staying overnight there. £10 return, plenty of trains and 42 minute direct journey

That’s a great idea, although I know I’ll be coming in via Euston and enjoying London first.

We've prebought return tickets for Charlton from London Bridge. £5.40 return. Bargain. London Bridge Underground is on the Northern line, direct from Euston, so no changes required.

I’m driving then heading to the North East after the game!!

Are the current owners going to extend the M1 all the way?😀

Someone at last Saturday’s game was saying that parking at the ground was £45 on match days, and that’s without the congestion charge.  Different world that there London is. I’m parking in Hertfordshire (Royston) and going by rail - £21 return.

I'm doing tube from Euston square to Farringdon then Thameslink to Charlton, takes just under an hour.

Just over 900 tickets sold according to the bloke in the ticket office earlier.
