If the worst had happened, would you have picked a new team or stayed neutral?
Unfortunately, I was only little (5 or 6 years old!) so I would have no doubt that I would now be a Chelsea supporter as my family would have brain washed me.
As I moved to the Medway Towns about the time of all the shenanigans I would probably have ended up watching Gillingham or Margate (family connections).
I am still a little spannerised, i look for there results as i used to go withy my old man to the old den when my bro didnt take me sellhurst to see Charlton, i was born in 1980 so was only young and loved footie!

Do you think another Charlton Athletic would have been formed as happened at Newport/Accrington/Aldershot after the main club went under? I was 14 at the time and it seems that there were some very motivated CAFC fans at the right ages to do this we only have to look at the events over the following 7 years.
I expect so - I would be following Charlton proudly in the Conference (or may be even Premiership - there has been enough time) may be sharing with Welling for a bit and then moving back to the Valley who knows....
If not it would have been local non-league so I guess Welling.
i gave it a thought at the time and considered my only option was a non-league team. i was a season ticket holder at the time. they are called Hallam FC and play at Sandygate (the worlds oldest football ground still in use, for you quiz masters out there)in the Northern Counties League - about five divisions below the conference i think. thank god it never happened. i would never have got to wembley twice, and seen mendonca, hunt, bent, etc. life could have been very different.
I didn't want to support another London team. Somewhat half-heartedly I came up with Luton Town on the basis that Paul Walsh and Paul Elliot had recently been transfered there. I was terrible just having to comtemplate it.

Almost certainly Dartford, but probably would have pursued coaching instead.
