EFL Championship
The Valley, Charlton
Admission: Season Ticket
Programme: £3.00
Attendance: 26,090 (2,846 away)
Today, thanks to the club running a special promotion for this fixture, allowing season ticket holders to obtain up to three additional tickets free of charge, my partner accompanied me today, and I decided to relocate my usual seat and sit in the Upper North Stand, where the best atmosphere in the stadium comes from.
The Addicks continued their "new manager bounce" under Johnnie Jackson, winning against Havant & Waterlooville 4-0 at home in the FA Cup 1st Round and then losing a group game at Leyton Orient 1-0 in the EFL Trophy Group Stage, before winning a tricky looking game away at Burton Albion 0-1, despite having targetman Jayden Stockley sent off as early as the 17th minute, stretching their winning streak to three games since the departure of Nigel Adkins. Charlton were in 17th place in the table, following five wins and four draws from their opening 17 league games. Today would be a really tough test of that 100% record under Jackson though, as the visitors today were top of the table, having lost just one game all season, that coming on the opening day of the season. Overall, they had picked up 10 wins and six draws from their opening 17 league games.
