    All 4 for me.

    St. Andrews was fun, my 70 year old Dad had a rather unsavoury Leeds fan shout in his face after the game "fooking 5,000, is that all you bring" 
    1800 max i reckon we had 
    And that was before the Leeds fans were taken out of the away end!

    Yes all four for me. After the St Andrews match there seemed to be more Leeds than Addicks travelling south. I think I'm getting more nervous as time goes by!
    Fortunately for us the train back to Euston was divided and we were saved from the salivating Leeds animals.

    All four + Blackburn. All dramatic apart from the Blackburn game which was dull and unforgettable. Friday night at St Andrews much the most tense
    Remember very little about Blackburn- overdid the pre match - seems a very very long time ago.

    My Dad @timoffski was at Selhurst and St. Andres in 87 but I dont think he made it to Elland Road. He missed 1998 entirely, didn't even get to see it on TV due to work, and both he and I both made it to 2019 and 2025 at Wembley.

    Yep me too - It felt like I was the only bloke at St Andrews in a suit having coming from work - one of the scariest nights I’ve ever had - I drove the wrong way down a one way street just to get away afterwards!

    Yep done the lot. In order of performance. The first Sunderland performance was the outstanding moment but I didn't think we'd beat them. The St Andrews game against Leeds was certainly second in excitement and I cried with the injustice of it when Leeds went ahead, as we were clearly the better side and deserved to win. The second game against Sunderland would be third, I thought we played well in that game and to win it when we did was brilliant. The Orient game in terms of excitement was fourth, I thought we controlled the game in large parts and our back line was unlikely to be breached. There was one other game that had all the significance of the above, it wasn't a play off final and was probably one of the nastiest games Charlton have ever been involved in ' The Battle of the Bridge'. Was at all of the above and they all were our finest moments simply because of the significance to the teams involved.

    Not a great recollection of the first one but seeing as both my brothers have responded on this thread that we were there, then Dad must have taken us all.
    He also dragged us to the Full Members Cup.

    Fair enough, I’ll bow to your better memory of past games.

    I've been to all 4, plus the Ipswich semi finals home and away in both 1987 and 1998 plus the Blackburn Full members cup and the battle of the Bridge in 1988.

    At Leeds in 1987 I was concerned about getting locked in till the Leeds mob dispersed, so as I had a long drive home (Maidstone at the time) I got up to the back of the stand before the end and when the whistle went flew down the stairs and out of the gate before the stewards could close it (whether they did or not I don't know). I then ran all the way up the road to my car and was on the M1 going south in 5 minutes.

    At Leeds, they put the away fans at the side (well they did then), the Leeds fans were in the front part of the stand and we were behind them. Fortunately there was a big deep "trench" between them and us with a concrete wall between them and the trench.  That didn't stop them though, sitting at the front of the Charlton bit we had a constant stream of coins being thrown back over their shoulders into us. Tight lot, it was all 2p pieces ! 

    At the Birmingham reply the Leeds fans were on the side nearest the main road meaning they were between the  Charlton fans and it, and I had to get past them to get to where I had parked (in a side street the other side of the main road), so I did the same as at Elland Road, got to the back and out of the gate as the whistle went then ran round the end of the ground and just charged through the Leeds mob (who were well pissed off) before I could catch any trouble.  I had a lot of exercise watching those 2 games.
