Drinking in the Bowl

This game at The Valley will be the first that fans are permitted to drink in the stands as part of the Drinking In The Bowl pilot. The pilot enables WSL and WSL2 clubs to allow fans to enjoy alcohol responsibly in the stands during the game.

Many other clubs have already entered the trial from the top two women's leagues, and we are trialling it ourselves on Saturday. The club partnered with the Charlton Athletic Supporters' Trust to approve the pilot and will continue collaborating with them to gather feedback throughout the trial.

We have a designated alcohol-free section (Block A) where alcohol will not be permitted. Fans who have already purchased a ticket for the game and want to move their seats into the alcohol-free section should contact the ticket office directly at tickets@cafc.co.uk.

Swansea Watch Along

Those attending on the weekend have a great opportunity to attend a special, free screening in the Fans’ Bar at The Valley on Saturday, where the men’s first team’s final game of the season away at Swansea City (KO 12.30pm BST) will be shown, ahead of the Birmingham City game.

This screening will only be open to fans with a ticket to the Birmingham game and will operate on a first-come, first-served basis.

Baller FC

The Fan Zone has some special guests coming down this week in Baller FC. They are a community group dedicated to creating safe, inclusive, and lively spaces to watch women's football with the aim of growing the women's game.
