That is a nearer prospect for some of us than others, but I have targeted the Shrewsbury Town match to return to The Valley. By that time I reckon we should either be dead certs for relegation or have survived.
However, if it is a needle match like tomorrow, I won't come. I would be mortified (in more ways than one) if I interrupted the game by collapsing in the Stand of the Living Dead. There is, though, a nice circularity about being born in Greenwich and ending there.
It's almost impossible to say how many points we need to survive as so much depends on other teams, e.g., if Cheltenham win at Wigan tonight we will enter the relegation zone: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/sport/how-many-points-do-charlton-still-require-for-league-one-safety-nathan-jones-asked-that-question/
Cheltenham in fact drew at Wigan and Charlton kept out of the relegation zone by virtue of their superior goal difference, something that is often overlooked. Cheltenham did go 1-0 ahead and this allowed gloom merchants to share 'as it stands' tables showing is in the relegation zone. I do wish some Charlton fans would show a glimmer of hope.
We just need to get as many points as we can. That will be difficult against a rampant Portsmouth. No doubt former Leamington ace and Pompey top scorer Colby Bishop will wreak more havoc when we could have had him a few years ago for £50k (Accrington saw the value and he scored against us for them).
Tomorrow is a big day for pitch announcer Brian Cole who lives on Portsea Island and his partner supports Pompey.
