Honest answer? Yes. I can only speak for myself, but this is the most connected I've felt to the club in years, even more so than in 2019. We're in the best position we've ever been in for years in terms of ownership. For the first time since what, 2014 we've actually got some stability in the management from an ownership with a long term project, we're hiring the right people with Charlton credentials in their blood (and one in his surname too). The squad is possibly the most unified I've seen in years too.
But then there's us fans. With the January turn around form from the team, we've been selling out every away game, home games are full of passion and fire from us all, and in the latter end of the season we've been filling the Valley, then Wembley too, with some of the best atmospheres around.
Not only do I think we've turned things around, I believe we've got our Charlton back.
There is 100% a different feeling around the club. Noticed in the away games I've been to in 2025. I know winning helps but crowd were not on the backs if the players even during a 3-0 loss. The Valley was electric for Northampton and playoff game. Wembley was a perfect end.
Whatever happens next season, a corner has been turned.
Prime example is Peterborough away.
"3 nil down, who gives a fuck, we're Charlton Athletic and we're going up"
Same for Brum away loss, same for Rotherham. We bounced back each time.
Exactly the 3-0 game I was thinking about. It was wet and the gutter was leaking in front of me but didn't dampen the spirits of the away fans.
