Peterborough (away) sat 13th november

I know we're all not happy with the club at the moment, but i remember when the fixtures came out this was one of the games i was really looking forward to. Having a look on thetrainline there are returns for £23 and some singles for £9 each way (from kings cross), and the trains are only 45mins long.
Tickets for the game are supposed to go on sale wednesday with there being 700 seats and 500 terrace places, but i hear you can get up to 4000 terrace places depending on demand, optimistic i know.
Its not the furthest game so can we expect a healthy following, and who else reckons they'll be going?

NathanPrior

Defo going

IA

I think I'll be at this one.

MrLargo

Paul Sturgess, Fatter Than Andy Reid and myself all going, booked a few weeks back for £7 each way.

I predict that by the time this comes round it'll be a top of the table clash!

JT

Going to this on the way up to Liverpool for a mates birthday. Long old day.

mparsons1

il be there!!

cafcdan18

Defo going, dread to think what the score will be with their scoring record but a new ground for me so kind of looking forward to it.

You'll need to wear body armour and tin helmets. Peterborough isn't a particularly nice place and not very welcoming

stonemuse

Many years since I have been there but I recall it was a bloody long walk from the railway station

Super Clive Mendonca

Im there train booked and sorted out before the Brentford game

ValleyFred

Looking forward to it, especially since I can't be at Plymouth, Carlisle or Swindon, although I'm not to optimitic about the score.

nichorob

Il be in as usual no doubt

redbuttle

Having lived in Peterborough for over 20 years I would say be careful, theres no need for tin helmets as previously stated but dont take liberties in the town.in other words if you go looking for trouble you will find it.
Its a lot like going to an away game in the 70s and 80s.

By the way, I am a Charlton supporter and have a season ticket.

Planty_The_Addick

The first game that will be on my train line (no changes!) since the last time we played at highbury. Don't like Peterborough but it will be a new ground for me!

ISawLeaburnScore

Will be going, old fashioned away day this, land early doors, skinful of booze and terraces!

northstandsteve

stay clear of the swiss cottage boozer, very very naughty

EGAddick

The sort of game I was probably looking forward to a week or so ago, but after Saturday I'm not. I'll still go though.

C.Walsh'sLoveChild

I wilo be there

creepyaddick

I is coming to this too
Dan, how you getting there?

Terry Naylor

Is there any way we can get a boat up there?

LOL

C.Walsh'sLoveChild

Was thinking of getting the train and getting to the pub early, but if there is a lift from a rather kind local cabbie then it would be rude to turn it down

Choice

Been there years ago but good terrace and good day out. 3,000 i think is possible

Exiled_Addick

Good chance I'll be at this. Eff knows why though, we'll be given a pasting .

MrLargo

2 terrace tickets purchased get in messy day

NathanPrior

Just booked my train tickets, £9.30 return, on the 12:10 from Kings X

EpsomAddick

Definitely going, one of the few grounds left in the country with terracing at both ends and I can't wait.

Folev the red

4 terrace tickets brought this morning :)
far too excited already

Folev the red

thought we could get get a big crowd going here.
only given 1200 tickets so i expect that to be sold, given that the barnet and southend games probably wont attract loads

TEL

Would have loved to have been at this one but I'll be 10,000 miles away. Peterborough circa 1977 around 200 Posh vs 9 Charlton, needless to say its the only time I took a bit of a slap in Charlton colours, I'll never forget the shoe shop window going in and my aunt smacking geezers with her brolly. Happy days.
:-)

CAFCsayer

Think i'll do this :)

Thommo

just search london kings cross going to peterborough on thetrainline and i think there are some singles for around £8/9

Lewis Coaches

One of the trips that was always entertaining back in the 70s.Was it a dog factory or a maggot farm the smell was out off this world.Can not recall a Charlton victory in Peterbrough so will give it amiss,hopefully come back with the points this time.See you up in Rochdale.

MuttleyCAFC

They seem to ship goals -can they handle Benno and Joe - I'm sure we will get a few so it will be down to our defence to keep theirs to a minimum -very confident about this one -feels like they can turn the rubbish teams over but will have a bit more trouble against the good sides.

redsek2003

Will definitely be there. Early train - Stella for breakfast. Arrive at 10.20 and straight over to the Swiss Cottage public house, carefully avoiding the naughtystep. Then on to the terraces. It will be just like being 18 again. Handsome.

northstandsteve

if you go to the swiss cottage you wont be seeing the game, good luck

For anyone who wants a free ticket in the home end, you can enter this competition. Difficult question.

I think the answer is Aldershot

kimbo

We are going, and staying in nice hotel in Cambridge on Saturday night:)

EastStand

I really want to go to this one but my mate has pulled out. Still want to go, only problem is I'm a small woman and dont fancy drinking by myself in a town I've never been to. So, any lifers going and if so where are you drinking before hand? Also, where is everyone sitting/standing?

cafctomo

heard of a pub boat called charters which sounds okay, beer then football then it does chinese!! , 6 of going from the west stand noisy box

IA

Likely it'll be Charters for me too.

cafctomo

i'll get the prawn crackers in

EastStand

EastStand

Hi guys should be a good game saturday , depends which of our teams turns up on the day and trust me we will either be awesome or awful .

With regards to distance from the station its less than half a mile and ten minute walk maximum .

For those of you that want a couple of drinks before hand here are my suggestions for you ,

The Grapevine , (city centre pub) recently re furbished and bang in the town centre , a 3 minute walk from the train station . Run by Pete and Jan it has a pool table , 4 screens showing sky sports and offers a range of Beers , lagers and real ales , children are also welcome accomapnied by adults for those iof you that are coming down as a family .


The Peacock , opposite the ground next door to KFC , has car parking available for those who are driving down , again showing Sky sports and serving Pukka Pies and baguettes pre game , lager at £1.99 a pint .

Both the above Pubs are away friendly and you can expect a friendly welcome and a bit of friendly banter .

Hope you all have a enjoyable trip and a good day , apert from taking the 3 points back with you .
