With over 8,000 tickets already sold, the anticipation for the match is high, evident in the buzzing atmosphere around Brunton Park. Simpson acknowledged Charlton for bringing nearly 1,000 fans and expressed gratitude, recognizing the effort it takes for them to travel from London. While Simpson admitted to not engaging in social media, he acknowledged the prevailing sense of a “new dawn” and a “start of a new era” based on feedback from others.
