2025-26 CL Prediction League Week 29 / Cup SF Results
What a week! We now know five of the six Lifers who will be contesting a Prediction Cup Final, plus, this week, we had the third full house of the season, as @redlanered correctly predicted the exact scores of all three games to secure 11 points. I also got three scores correct, except that I decided at the last minute to…
POST-MATCH THREAD: Oxford Utd v Charlton Athletic: Saturday 14th March 2026: KO 12:30
We haven’t done well at the Kassam Stadium in recent years. With Oxford on a late surge to relegation safety, the home side were looking to keep their run of three wins on the trot going, against a Charlton side that are, barring an absolute disaster, very nearly safe. Of course Charlton had their own reasons for seeking a…

Hospitality
A pal of mine is an oxford fan .Two years ago we paid for hospitality for the oxford charlton game in league one. £75 per head nice meal good seats. This year we were charged£192 for a breakfast and same seats . The hospitality "suite " was a dark dingy room with no natural light. A bigger ripoff I cannot imagine.Anyone…

How Many points for Championship Survival? and How do we get them?
Looking at the last 10 Championship seasons -you need 50 points on average for the 22nd team to displace the 21st team -you need 48 points if you just beat 22nd place team by 1 point So after 25 games played, we need about 21 points to make 50, so a point a game BUT Sheffield Weds have been so poor (competitively) that we…

Other clubs protests.
I see there is a protest planned today at Blackburn... telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/10/28/despairing-blackburn-rovers-fans-step-up-protest-against-absent/ ...reading this (and we get a mention in dispatches too) there are an awful lot of similarities with our situation it seems; lack of fan engagement, falling…

What do you enjoy most about Charlton life
What aspects of living in Charlton or being part of this community do you enjoy most? Are there local places, events, organisations, or experiences you think others should know about? I’m curious to hear what residents appreciate and why.
Coincidences
Was driving back from London earlier listening to LBC and then thought I really want to hear some christmas songs, particularly "Driving home for Christmas", changed the station to Magic and Chris Rea's song was playing. The other week was listening to an audiobook and heard the name Lorna Doone, never heard of her before…
Quick Radiator heating question
ok, not got a clue about this stuff all my other radiators have got big white valves on with numbers for adjusting the heat level. How do I adjust this one ? Is it just pliers on the sticky up bit, or is it the whole nut? How do I know if it’s left or right side to adjust ? Please help before I do something that floods the…
Under 21s (Match updates and news)
On a personal level it is extremely disappointing that our Under 23's are seeking permission to play their matches at Beckenham Town this season. Although 5 matches will be played at the Valley, that is too far for me to travel. Of course Beckenham is far from being "Charlton heartland", but of course the regime are…
Car Parking
All of last season I travelled by train to the Valley, from Croydon. Now for the must see Palace game I will travel by car. Two questions: 1. Is the Victoria Drive Car Park open in the evenings and is it still £5.00? 2. I read a lot on the internet about parking in Macro, Halfords or some Bed Store's car parks. Are these…
Loan watch 25/26
Now we have a few players out on loan I thought it might be good to have one thread to keep track of them. Although unlikely to play for us again I am including Terry Taylor as he is still a Charlton player. Nathan Asiimwe - Season long loan to Wimbledon…
Watford v Charlton
I’m a Charlton fan ‘blessed’ to live in Watford and been keeping an eye on the official site for when tickets go on sale for our next away game. I was fairly sure it would be Friday or today but sadly not Do any of you seasoned away travellers have any idea when they will be released please?

New Tv series (REMEMBER: No Spoilers)
Right, so i am currently doing shift work, and when i come home i like to unwind by watching an episode of something to chill out before going to bed.

Music systems, hifi, stereo, or whatever you choose to call them
I have all my music stored on a Brennan but want to improve the quality when its played. Any suggestions as to a decent system to play it through? Decent budget if the kit is reasonable quality and that doesnt include 30k B&O. Thanks in advance.

Grand National 2026
Eyes down, it’s that time again. Entries for this season's Big One due in just over a week (weights allocated mid-Feb, as usual) but there's reason right now to begin serious evaluation of likely entries and, if the fancy takes, nab some early prices. Next Thursday sees the 2026 Thyestes at Gowran Park and there’s a few…

Football facts that don't sound true (but are)
Inspired by the Aguero not being a PotY conversation, what other facts do you know that sound like they shouldn't be true but are? I'll start with a couple. Jens Lehmann went a whole season in the Champions League without conceding a goal, and got all the way to the final. Sergio Ramos has scored more goals than Andres…

Derek Bellotti RIP
Sad news reported by the Southend United Ex-Players Association that our former keeper, who played 16 games for us in the 1970/71 and 71/72 seasons died on Tuesday, aged 79. Derek, V359, played for a host of league and non-league clubs well into his 40s and even made an emergency appearance aged 50. He had set up and ran…

Managerial sackings, comings and goings
The October international break is clearly a chance to wield the axe First Di Matteo gets the push from Villa, and now Guidolin has been replaced at Swansea by Bob Bradley To me it all seems terribly early in the season to make changes...For reference, we sacked Dowie on the 13th November…
Micah Mbick - 12/3/2026 Out til end of season (at least) with multiple knee ligament injuries (p26)
Mbick, who joined the club’s esteemed academy as an U10, recently scored just three minutes into his senior debut, completing the scoring in the Addicks’ 6-1 win at Cray Valley PM in the Emirates FA Cup. The 17-year-old forward has netted 12 goals in 13 games for Charlton’s U18s and U21s so far this season.…
Tyreece Campbell thread
I have been a Charlton supporter for 58 years now. I don't usually 'want to have a say' but I am intrigued what everyone else thinks about the T. Campbell situation. Without doubt NJ is the best manger since Curbs but what on earth does he see in Campbell? Stoke HT- TC no crosses, no going passed his man, tracking back…

Teams that are in the "wrong" division
Whenever I look at a league table, there's invariably one or two teams that simply shouldn't be in that division. There's no science behind it; and, of course, teams are in the division they're in, based (almost always) on which division they deserve to be in. Bolton Wanderers, for example. They should be an eternal…
Groundhopping
As the smallest away contingent thread has been derailed a tad I thought I'd open this for us enthusiasts of a new ground. Shrewsbury will be my 92nd for a second time, I completed it before in about 93 when I visited Mansfield. I will be contacting Shrewsbury and hope that I get an acknowledgement in the programme.
West Ham Relegation Watch
Win or lose tonight they have Man City away next followed by Chelsea at home and Arsenal away. Could be bottom by Christmas
Brilliant social post
Didn’t know where else to post this but there is a simply brilliant post just gone out on our Instagram. Take a look - gave me all the feels and then some. Class.
Our support may make the difference on whether or not we stay up
When the season's predictions were made nearly all of our fans thought we would be bottom half. Most of us thought we would be in a scrap with 6 or 7 teams to stay up. So we are positioned where most of us thought we would be. Ok, we may improve and end up in a comfortable position, but it's not looking the most likely…
ParkRun / Running Thread
Any lifers enjoy taking part? I'm a regular at Chelmsford Central where a runner was displaying a Charlton shirt. Good to see!
Latest Films
Anyone seen anything lately? Saw The Road: Grim post-apocalyptic affair. Don't recommend it. Up in the Air: Clooney's latest. Slightly sentimental comedy. Good subtle laughs in it and definitely worth a watch.
