CHARLTON'S board of directors have sanctioned the hire of three more subsidised coaches for the club's Easter Friday match away to Manchester City.

They will increase the convoy heading up the M6 to 23.

Tickets are on general sale priced at £27 adults and £14 for over 60s and Under 16s.

Organisers of Charlton's cut-price Valley Express coach service are urging Kent supporters to book early for the Easter Monday home game against Reading as coaches are in short supply. The match kicks off at 8pm.

The club have also announced details of another special travel offer in relation to the match at Everton on Sunday, April 15, for which Charlton have received an allocation of 1,766.

Coach fares have been cut by half to £10 with tickets priced at £28 adults, £21 over 60s and Under-17s £17.
