Who'd be a Charlton Fan

[PalazioVecchio]

when you think about it, West Ham moved 4 miles Westward in the last decade or so. So the average kid growing up in Greenwich could easily hop across the river and support a bigger club, a club with more chance of getting back into the Prem and staying there.....better than Charlton anyway. Plus many of the kid's school-buddies will be making the same decision.

That must have really squeezed the Clowns in between Millwall, Leyton Orient & us.
The Clowns would probably benefit from some breathing space out in Bromley or Orpington.

Tell me about it.

When we were owned by Goldberg I knew a guy who worked for the club. At first he was okay then he couldn't stop crowing about our woes it was quite childish and pointless having a conversation with him.

However as soon as Charlton got relegated he disappeared and I have never seen him since. The only consolation I got was that the club he loved and left a good job in banking to join sacked him due to their financial problems.

I'm not one to bear grudges, I have Charlton and Millwall mates, we are all pretty realistic about our clubs and can talk sensibly amongst ourselves. However I would love to see this guy and give him some back.

But….. who the f*** is laughing now? 🤣🤣

When I was a young boy an uncle took me to Palace one week then another took me to Charlton the following week. Eventually my Dad told them I was getting confused and needed to make a decision. Luckily my Palace uncle bought me a season ticket and that was it! I now look back at all the great games watching Palace- Man Utd 5-0, Burnley, Liverpool 4-3, Cup Finals, Europe etc and what have they done? A play off win v Sunderland and that’s about it. Thank God for that season ticket in 1972!

I was always Palace but like you my dad often took me to Charlton when we played away. I don't hate Charlton and I have been many times and have Charlton friends. In my case it was just one jerk who ran their supporters club.

Charlton's supporters have not seen their team in the PL since the 2006-07 season, nearly 20 years ago !

through low levels of support , Charlton are destined to be the new Millwall. But even less memorable to the random man in the street.

Charlton's average attendance last season was just over 20,000.
Millwall's average attendance last season was approximately 17,100.
