Hi all! This weekend is a massive event for me. 'Big valentines plans' you may be thinking? Perhaps an important birthday? No. Far bigger than that; this weekend will be the first time in our 3 and a half year relationship that ive taken my girlfriend to The Valley.
She's not a huge football fan and throughout the past 3 years she has questioned my loyalty to a team that in her eyes 'always lose'. However recent events (mainly the homecoming of the big SCP) have left me boyant and optomistic for the first time in a while and on a drunken whim I decided it was time.
Now this could be a big moment if all goes well, ive recently been 'encouraging' her to watch games with me on the tv, and match of the day has even become a programme that she begrudgingly enjoys! So please all, for the sake of my pride, I need the boys to win on Saturday and the crowd (we'll be north lower behind the goal) to be bouncing and behind the team all the way.

Taken my gal once in five years ... she has no wish to go, but never questions me going.
No problem
However, my missus came to the Norwich game last season when my lad was a mascot. She has no interest in football but loved the whole ocassion even though we lost. She was surprised at the noise of the crowd and wants to go again. Not sure if she just wanted to ogle men in shorts.
Be careful she doesn't enjoy it too much as she may want to accompany you to every home game.
Couldn't have been so bad as we've been married nearly 9 years (maybe if it goes well for you Addicted you might end up married too!)
Don't do it!
I've also only taken my girlfriend to just the one football match in the five years we have been together. It was the friendly against Athletic Bilbao a few years back. She hated every minute of it! Payback time for having to watch all that crap on TV though!
Maybe, old romantic that I am, I'll suggest a 30 years on trip!
My significant other goes to football, bit always did and that's how we met. It took five years before we sat together at a game and eventualy both moved away from our old seats as we just couldn't enjoy the game from each others 'area'.
Anyway, hope it goes well for you on Saturday, Addickted. Personally, I will never ever permit a woman to accompany me to a game again unless it's my mum.
We did the same thing 30 years ago next month, we were getting married in May and knew we wern't going away for a honeymoon. So I suggested a night out with a bit of grub and drink or two and some entertainment, we ended up in The Covered end watched the game and into the Valley club afterwards.
Mrs TCE reminded me last week and suggested it had better be different this year, so she can stay at home I go on my own. : )
We moved seats at HT and some geezer told us to move, as we were in his seat. I pointed out that they were unreserved and wasn't moving (not gonna lose face, we hadn't been going out for long).
He promptly sat on top of her & I removed him - it was a right kerfuffle .
She's never been since, I don't know why :-)
...especially if the lino is a women... ;-)
Got it sorted really.
Thanks for the heads up on the toilets ValleyGary, depends if we're winning I guess:)
Not really a female thing. Why would anyone want to bother taking someone not interested n football, to a match.
The excitement of a Charlton game is hardly going to convince them to return!
What if we win 3-0? That'll be 1 more female Charlton fan, surely a good thing!
I reckon she drops Stoke out and goes round ValleyGarys!
She wouldn't do that to Trev.
Good luck
