Quids in at The Valley

CHARLTON fans aged under-18 can watch The Valley match against Barnsley on November 1 for just £1 as part of a special Addicks "kids for a quid" promotion.

The fixture against the Tykes is the club's third home game in the space of 12 days and coincides with the end of the October half-term holiday.

Tickets are on general sale priced from £15 for adults and £15 for over-60s and under-21s, with under-18s costing £1 instead of the usual £10.

DESPITE comments from Alan Pardew hinting Izale McLeod would feature for the Addicks reserves against Watford on Monday night, the striker was not in the squad for the Combination Cup Group B match.

Chris Dickson (2) and Jonjo Shelvey were on target as the Addicks eased to a 3-0 win against the Hornets.

Meanwhile, the hamstring injury sustained by Nicky Bailey on Saturday was being assessed at the start of the week.

CHARLTON'S home Championship clash with Derby County will now take place on December 15 at 7.45pm after being selected for live broadcast by Sky Sports.

The change means Linvoy Primus will be unable to play in the game as his loan from Portsmouth ends on the original date of December 13.

Charlton were discussing a number of options with The Football League at the start of the week.

FANS have until Saturday to submit their application to be one of the three representatives on the new fans' forum being set up to discuss Addicks issues with senior club officials.

The committee, which is also planned to have input from overseas supporters and the Charlton Athletic Disabled Supporters' Association, will meet with board members, including plc chairman Derek Chappell and chief executive Steve Waggott, at least three times per season.
