As from this Saturday's game there will be a limit on the size of bags which can be brought into The Valley

The club is imposing an A4 bag limit for all supporters coming to The Valley. The only exemptions will be for those who have pre applied for medical exemption or if the bag solely contains goods purchased from the club shop

Many other grounds around the country including Wembley Stadium impose an A4 bag limit. However, most offer or signpost to a bag drop facility. CAST has been told that Charlton Athletic has no plans to make a bag drop available

If CAST or Charlton supporters had been consulted on the policy, we would have pointed out that many people come to night games directly from work and so the policy causes them a considerable problem because their bags may contain laptops. We also observed that some families coming to WSL2  games last year came direct from junior games and so had kit bags with them

CAST calls on the club to work with supporters to find a bag drop solution. Until then, CAST calls on the club to delay the implementation of the A4 bag drop policy
