Enjoy A Weekend Of Affordable Football In London

Charlton Athletic are running their successful 'Football For A Fiver' initiative again this season with the fixture against Wigan Athletic on Sunday 27th October the chosen game.

A big crowd attended last season's corresponding game and the Addicks are again hoping for a near sell-out. All tickets are £5 plus a compulsory £1 donation added which will go to the club's chosen charities. There has been a bit of grumbling about this on a couple of Charlton forums I've looked at (not the amount but the 'compulsory' nature of the donation and the fact that it's not strictly 'football for a fiver'). Overall though it is an offer well worth highlighting.
Few clubs can have been more active over the years in engaging supporters and building and retaining their fanbase as Charlton.

The Valley Express service has provided surely the most comprehensive supporter travel option of any club in England for home games (a look at the number of places the service goes to is very interesting - http://www.cafc.co.uk/tickets/valley_express/ ) and supporters still seemingly have an active part to play in the running of the club.
The last weekend in October is a good one for football fans in London looking for affordable ways to catch a match as the day before Charlton v Wigan it is Brentford’s ‘Pay What You Can’ fixture against Shrewsbury at Griffin Park.

Affordable Football aims to bring you the special offers, reduced ticket prices and family deals that make catching a match anywhere in the country more affordable. You can tweet us @affordablefooty or email affordablefootball@yahoo.com if your club are doing something worth hearing about.
