    I wouldn't do it.
    I don't like it when people do it at ours.
    I really think we need to grow up.Rugby they mix in.At world cup we mix in.I think it should be the future but probably wont

    Done this back in the days at The Den when I went with an old Millwall mate and his friends. They all knew I was Charlton, never had a problem. Don't think we ever scored though !!
    Did this once in the Cold Blow Lane end with my neighbour who was a Spanner. He forgot to tell me he had invited another Charlton fan who turned up with a red and white scarf on.  I think it was the same game as MOG went to  2-2 draw when we were 2-0 up.  I don't remember seeing the end of that game. 
    Even in them deborced days I was sensible enough not to wear a scarf in the CBL.

    Apart from when we done it most away games in the 70s

    Twice at Millwall, the 2-2 and the 2-0 win in the snow , sadly the only time I’ve ever witnessed a win against that mob .

    No it probably won't.
    I grew up in the days of no segregation and seen what it's like to have a visit from millwall, pompey, cardiff etc.

    At the time I had a customer that was a spanner, he was a good lad but knew he was a bit tasty.
    Anyway, he said to meet him for a drink in Tropics, this was next to South Bermondsey station but no longer there.  Four of us were in there and my friend/customer came over for a quick drink, before he left he nodded over to where he was going to meet his mates and politely said that under no circumstances were you we to let them know we were Charlton :)we didn't argue.
    We left there to be met with the never to be forgotten snowstorm.
    Anyway, we were sat in the main stand as we reasoned it was probably better to sit there as to avoid any grief after the game being spotted coming out of the away end.
    Once the final whistle went, it was met with a chorus of "what a load of rubbish", I could not pass up on the opportunity to join in!

    I sat in the Chelsea stand opposite where the players come for the Battle of the Bridge - a Chelsea mate got me a ticket but three rows back from his seat - I think thiwas our second season in league 1 as it was back then - when Paul Miller equalised about 3 rows behind me a Charlton fan jumped up and stewards just stood and watched him the shit kicked out if him - after the game I stood outside a pub on the other side of the road waiting for my mate to come out - it also seemed to be the rallying point for the Chelsea mob waiting for the Charlton fans to emerge - an unbelievable tense day but really glad a week later they lost to Middlesborough and went down

    Yeah, I'd like to see a return to the days when there were mixed crowds. Not that I don't want to sit amongst Charlton fans, but it would give a bit more flexibility on occasion. It would also make sense to have neutral sections given how many clubs are now marketing their games to tourists. I don't suppose it will ever happen though. It would probably be too difficult to police. Like loads of other things in life, the unruly minority of cockwombles would spoil it for the majority of decent people.

    Supporters mix in Scandinavia, and Germany to a lesser extent.
    Segregation will always be so.  Imagine at half-time and having a beer, it would go off all over the place.
