Most games you have ever seen in the same day

edited December 2011 in General Charlton

I am considering going to Millwall / Palace as a neutral before the Orient game on New Years Eve . Logistically it stacks up as it is a 1pm kick off at the Den .Yes I know some on here will see this as heresy but I think it will be an interesting game.

Twice before I've seen two games in a day although on both occasions one has been non league , once was a Boxing Day when we played Portsmouth at Sell Out I went on to Fisher V Welling in the afternoon and one Good Friday I saw Barnet V Welling in the afternoon and in the evening saw the Gills play Wigan .

On the latter occasion I know someone who also saw Brentford V Fulham in the morning , so the most I've known is three .

    Not close to that, but have a similar story...

    10 years ago I had a Man City season ticket holder as a girlfriend (met her in Shagalluf), one day out of the blue right about when the Carling Cup 2nd round was being played she sends me an email "how do you fancy going up to see West Brom v Charlton on the Tuesday night, and then driving on up to the parents to watch Man City v Birmingham?" What a bird, what a bird!!!! We did it, both of our teams won - Euell got our winner from a Pen, City won 6-0

    Anyway, I felt guilty I didn't think something like that up - so I dumped her shortly after

    Doh. The thread was about how many games you've seen live on the same day.

    Did a Charlton reserves game at Highbury on a Tuesday afternoon and a first time game at The Valley in the evening, many moons ago.

    A neutral? No leaning either way on who'd you want to win? Or would a draw suit?

    As I said, not close to that, but similar

    One sticks out in my mind - January 26th 1985. Rearranged game Notts County v Charlton (2nd div) in the morning then Nottingham Forest v Wimbledon FA Cup 4th round in the afternoon. Both games ended 0 - 0! Even managed to sneak on to the Wimbledon charter train on the way back and was not rude to the bloke with the clip board who asked if we wanted to book for the next away trip.

    Quite a few did both Notts Co v Charlton (an awful game) and Notts Forest v Wimbledon (a good game).

    Tried to do 3 in a day when played Huddersfield midday. Was going to Rochdale afterwards and then Peterborough at 7.45. Was scuppered by one of our number spending 30mins in the bogs throwing up at the end of the Huddersfield game.

    I got my tickets today with no problem , when the girl in the ticket office asked if I was a Palace fan I answered honestly.

    So I would probably have a slight preference for a Millwall , but I genuinely think it will be an interesting game and a chance to catch up with a Millwall supporting friend .
