Charlton have made enormous progress on a number of fronts over recent years, including in the ticket office. Many Essex supporters use 'Fiddler' to get their tickets, which saves us all having to try to get through to the ticket office, and what used to be hours on the phone. But the ticket office answer the phone much quicker these days and are far more efficient.
That's probably the reason that I didn't check the four tickets I bought from the ticket office last week. We hadn't been sure how many of us were going to Wolves so were later than usual in getting tickets. I bought them at the ticket office - three adults and a junior. It was only when we were sorting the tickets out on the way up to Molineaux that we realised that two tickets were in a different block. We wondered whether they might somehow end up being close to each other, but no. Two seats were some way from the other two. Is it too much for the ticket office to get a request for four tickets all seated together? It wasn't the end of the world, but it's so simple to get right that it is bloody irritating.
Having had two weeks to look forward to it, the game was disappointing. We did OK in the first half without ever showing a cutting edge. Scoring straight after half time meant that Wolves were in the driving seat and we never really looked like getting back into it. We're getting a bit careless with our full backs now as well. Apparently we didn't have anyone in the treatment room a few weeks back. So where are Mootu, Sankofa, Thatcher and Gibbs (he had another injury last week)? And now Powell's injured.
Whilst I like the ground, Molineaux still doesn't have pleasant memories for me. We left yesterday at 11.00 and arrived at 2.00. Not too bad considering the state of the motorways. But it took nearly an hour to get out of the town, arriving back at 8.00 - just as the egg chasing final started. At least we don't have to wait too long for the next game and to get this one out of our system.
