389. Had the minibus brake down on the M4 on the way to the Battle of Ashton Gate, abandon it with the driver and all be picked up on the hard shoulder within minutes by other travelling Charlton fans.

"16. You've been to an away game that was cancelled. Bonus points if you took in another game."

I reckon a few more people will have ticked this one off the list today.

Boom

Not read. But had two dirty Tina's in the axe after having a pint I the Brunswick . You're not proper charlton unless you had an Oooo north. You cunts. You know it

Have to say the original top 100 is still a cracking list.

How about remembering being excited when Jim Bowen winning 'Up For The Cup' tv show representing Charlton in the 1980's? Charlton winning something felt special.

......also being thrilled when Charlton was a featured game on The Big Match on Sundays.

.......and listening to Capital Radio's 'Afternoon Delight' radio show on Saturday afternoons when they blew a whistle when a goal had gone in. Always seemed like goals in our games went against us. I remember listening the day we drew 5-5 with Bristol Rovers away.

......and having a stash of about 50 different Charlton shirts, T-shirts, track suits, hats, caps, scarfs, fleeces......many of them autographed in some way.

meldrew66

........and attending the reserve match where Simonsen made his Charlton debut

meldrew66

.......and clearing the trees from the East Terrace as part of the Valley clean up pre-return

meldrew66

.......and attending a per-season friendly at Bristol City only to get caught in bad traffic and seeing the last 10 minutes of the game.

This thread is ageist just because we don't all wear a nappy and eat fish supper doesn't mean we are not proper charlton.

Simonsen

What about when the other game gets called off too?! (Notts County in 84-85.... We were desperate and went down to The City Ground to see Notts Forest reserves. As if that would be on!!)

Simonsen

....went away to Newcastle the Saturday following the 7-0 humiliation at Brighton in 1983.

Boom

Unless you had a pint in the Brunswick at derby and ultimately off it couldn't stand up,

Headphones norm is a legend!

390. Unless that while waiting for someone on matchday, you wander round the Charlton shop for 30 odd seconds thinking "this has changed" then walk straight out.

Baldybonce

First time i've seen this and must admit i'm a little concerned by a `Kinsella fisting'.

Didn't he lose in the final to whoever was representing Norwich? But yes, I do remember the excitement ;-)

You don't care the lights go off, because the football is more attractive that way.

Lincsaddick
