Going away

17 games. £352 for tickets. 7 train journeys. Ten car journeys. Two nights in hotels. And several days holiday allowance taken from work. And that's just the away games! It's not been cheap or easy watching the team away from home, but at least we've had some good away wins this season. It does make it all worthwhile.

It's the home form that's a problem for us this year. If our home form had been as good as our away form we'd be romping to the title by now. Mind you, if our away form had been as bad as our home form we'd be in a relegation battle.

But Saturday provides us with another chance to get three points and maybe get something of a homerun going. No game is ever easy, and the opposition want to win as well. But really we need to win this game or the season could fizzle out.

I expect we'll give the Horse and Groom one last try to see if it's open. We need to get Scunthorpe tickets on Saturday. Can't risk them being sold out. It'll be the Old Man's 105th ground where he's seen Charlton play. Let's hope we're still near the top when we play them.

Up The Addicks!
