    .
    Today. Croydon. (Unfortunately)


    It’s about 1/2 mile long.

    You wait nearly 200 years and that’s it.

    Not in London. Noted. 
  • This is a fantastic piece of writing, and photography not bad too 😉


    What a brilliant article, cheers

    Agreed, a good read. Just one issue:

    'Wing-back Josh Edwards, centre-back Alex Mitchell and forward Gassan Ahadme come to SE7 with positive reputations.'
  • Having whizzed through this thread this afternoon I know some have raised the subject of the empty back row on level two but does anyone know why row 16 wasn't sold?

    They certainly were in 2019 because I tried to get exactly the same seats as then but had to make do with the same seat numbers on row 15 instead.

    Releasing those for sale would have allowed at least a few hundred more Charlton fans to watch the team.

    Wembley/Football League have only themselves to blame for not having an 80,000+ attendance, which is an insane number for a third division match.
  • Great day with me sis and nephew up from Broadstairs. Let's hope we can build on this unlike in 19. Blimy I  feel exhausted today and I didn't even have a drink.

  • Had a chest infection & nearly missed the game , a mate saved the day by driving me there. 
    Not pretty but who cares now, we are in the Championship.
    Defensively I thought we were superb, defending from the front 2. A real team effort. 
    But offensively we were way off the pace. 
    I feel sure we will be looking to bring in a creative midfielder. 
    Looking forward to the close season acquisitions. COYR

    I have a question. 
    Does REG get a playoff winners medal as he only left in January? 🤔
    Good question. I think the answer is probably a yes.

    I'm thinking Josh and Alex have proved both to have influenced our season in their own way. Edwards is obvious, Mitchell has stepped up when Jones has asked. His comeback against Burton showed the type of character he has, it was just Jones and Gillesphey were more consistent and a better pairing.
    Ahadme, I think initially I had some hope and seemed ok, and I hoped that he would improve during the season, didn't help he played during that torrid part of the year.
    Overall a poor signing for us, but he didn't hide or stop playing, it just didn't click this year. Will be interesting to see what happens over the summer
  • One other comment about yesterday:

    Final whistle ... we've won ... Red, Red Robin blasting out.

    I've been banging this particular drum for a nunber of years but this should be part of our post-win celebrations as much as the tunnel jump.

    Play the club song at FT when we win!!!
    Yeah. Worked really well
  • Well,we did it. Can only echo what everyone has written on here, a fantastic day and achievement. Special day for me,went with my boy,my brother and his boy and my nearly 80 year old Dad,started with a banging breakfast in Borough Market,to The White Horse for pre match pints,met friends inside the stadium for beers at the bar in block 529 where the atmosphere was chaotic and amazing. Post match drinks at The White Horse then onto The Sports Bar at Farringdon where we'd pre-booked a table. Barman showed us to our table where he had to ask half a dozen Orient fans to move😂,they did as asked,one of them really wasnt happy though. Food then onto the spoons on Blackfriars Road for further drinking and merriment,a long but fantastic day,all the more special to spend it with my family. COYR.

    Ok what do we think this means ?

    see you next season in the championship? Or see you next season ?

    I think Gilbert will go back to Middlesbrough and be in the 20 players involved on match days. 
    If Alex can find more stamina and be consistent with his set pieces, his passing was excellent in the 1st half against Wycombe. Hot and cold player but has talent.

    His two assists from the corners kicks started our surge into the top 6 with Macca and Ramsey getting on the end of accurate set pieces 
    And the corner for Macca’s late winner at home vs Pboro

    Nathan's dressing room speech after the game
    I need to nip back out and run through a few brick walls hearing that.
    A good speech...
    He gives Martin Sheen a close run on inspirational speeches.
  • I can’t get “Free from desire “ out of my head … fantastic day .
