The Lisbie 1-0 at the Bridge, as mentioned by Sturgess, who has the dubious pleasure of being my younger brother. Think I was suffering from a cold, had to make do with listyening on the radio.
First game back at The Valley - was at the last "home" game at Selhurst against West Ham, and the last "home" game at Upton Park against Newcastle, sadly my dad was in charge of obtaining tickets in those days and clearly didn't try hard enough.
portsmouth away in 06 when amdy faye got the winner, had a bet on with me mate, no cuttin the hair till you see charlton win away, had to happen i failed to see us win away all year
St. James Park 4-3. After attending every away game up to that point, threw me toys out of the pram and refused to "drive all that way to watch that shower of *****".
Chelsea away in the league cup 1-1 we beat them on penalties. Was ganna go to this with some friends that went and told me all about how mad they went when we won.
A mate got me a ticket for the first game back at the Valley, but I was living in a hall of residence and didn't find out until about a week after the game - awful feeling. He didn't even manage to sell it on. The first line of the commentary says something like, 'Every seat is taken'. Well, mine wasn't.
Missing Southampton 5-0 was also disappointing, but was on holiday with a load of saints fans. One of them got up the next day to find 5-0 written on all his cigarettes, just in case he forgot.
Missed 1-0 win at Old Trafford when Mark Stuart scored; had booked Spanish holiday before fixtures came out. Definitely would have been there as my brother was living in Altrincham.
Also missed the St Andrews play off final replay and didn't realise that highlights were shown on TV!
Missed the second half of the 0-5 at home to Leicester years ago...because my Mum, Dad and I left at half time!!!
I missed the first game back at the Valley. I was working all the hours and getting to matches was quite hard. I did go to Upon Park a few times but not as much as I'd have liked.
My Dad was a VG member and he passed up the opportunity to get a ticket. In the end we decided to go on the off chance that we might get a ticket and just to experience the atmosphere.
I was offered a ticket for £100 quid but we needed two. In the end we watched from The Heights, saw the pre-match build up but the OB moved us on as the game began. Got back to the car and found out that Walshie had scored.
Too many to mention - I feel like the bloke Unlucky Alf in the Fast Show
Worst of all the Play-off Final.
We were running a hotel in Bournemouth and it was also my little boys 5th birthday.
Missed the TV coverage and when I got to a radio it was just in time for the penalty shoot-out!
If we're talking about Charlton, I reckon Charlton vs Peterborough at London Road (we win 5-1) would have been something else. If you're talking generally, then Newcastle vs Arsenal (4-4) a couple of weeks ago or the 4-3 win by Manchester UTD over Manchester City where Bellamy scored that wonder goal only to be cancelled out by Michael Owen would have been crazy to be at.
we played narwich at home round about this date 15 years ago it was my engagment party, i promised the future mrs nla that i would not go, driving through the pipe to collect my mum,dad and nan the addicks (vague memory bank here) i believe were either 1-3 down or 2-4 down by the time i came out of the pipe it was either 3-3 or 4-4 hope someone out there remembers and can clear my absence mindedness
Last game of the season when we sent Palace down! Missus was on her hen do and was late getting back, so I managed to just make it to the pub in time to hear about Jon Fortune's equaliser :-)
NLA - that game was a belter. We went 1-0 down and had Balmer sent off. Robson and Kinsella then both scored a free-kick each to put us 2-1 up. Then we ended up 4-2 down, but Jason Lee and Leaburn scored a goal each in the last 5 mins to make it 4-4. Great game with 10 men for most of it.

That's a game that I wished I hadn't left early. Went when it was 4-2

2 - 0 in the snow at Scumwall.
Of course I was there, but only in body. Myself and a mate sat on the grass outside Wembley and demolished a crate of stella between us.
Was absolutely plastered.
My only memories of the game have come from watching it on the TV.
Shame. Wish I had stayed completely sober.

Doh!
Yeh add that one onto the top of my list too.
Got dragged to manchester to see sister, brother in-law and both my little newphews.
Trust me...it was definitley one to miss.
I've mentioned it on here in the past. It hurts to talk about it....
I would have been about 10. Nobody to take me. I had no Charlton mates. Dad was working somewhere. Mum didn't want to take me on my own. Devestated.

Tee hee. At least Gino will have your ticket :- )

Cup final v Burnely in 47.

It was slightly surreal but I am glad I went.
