Funniest thing I have seen at a Charlton game

Yesterday this came back to me and made me laugh.
It happened when we played Millwall at home and drew 4 4 one December day when snow was on the ground. At half time I was waiting at that burger van at the bottom of the stairs east stand. I saw these two reds fans clearly up to something. Then they massed together a massive snow ball and threw it over the gate separating us from the scum. It hit this Millwall fan straight in the gob and he went absolutely nuts. Funny as hell!!!These two fans calmly walked away. The police came over trying to calm him down. Imagine what he told the old bill!!!!!!!!! I got hit by a Snow ball!!!!!!! Absolute classic!!!!! Any other stories at a reds game?

    I've mentioned it before, but the Exeter fan being removed, horizontal like a giant fish, by about five stewards. One just had the bloke's head under his arm. He was shaking an angry fist all the way. Comedy gold.

    Cambridge away around 1992 at the start of the season.

    Colin Walsh launches a 30 yarder in the warm up which spanks a fella in the face. He apologises which fella accepts and goes back to reading his programme. Just a minute or so later Walsh hits another screamer which flies straight through the programme and into the same fella's face. I don't think this one was an accident

    I was at that game, but missed while getting a drink at the tea hut - no tv back then, so have never seen it!

    The Police kept the snow ball as evidence...

    Danny Shittu came back to The Valley with Watford. He was claiming that he was going to show the CAFC fans what we have been missing and he scored an OG... Admittedly he did score for them as they came back from 2-0 down to 2-2 but he still scored an own goal and showed us exactly what we were missing.

    Colchester away many years ago in Fa cup at Layer Road. In the poxy away end a lot of Charlton fans were bouncing up and down on terracing that seemed to be basically wooden planks. Pissed young fat bloke fell through the bottom of the stand. Not sure what happened to him. Hope he wasn't hurt, but very funny none the less!

    Uptown Park 1991 vs Derby, their keeper leaned back over the ad hoardings to take a goal kick and was time wasting so someone ran down the terrace and grabbed him, pulling him over the hoardings into the crowd!

    The bloke who did it ran off and I don't know if he was caught but I remember the Derby player Tedd McMinn going mental and threatening retribution to the Charlton fans on the North Bank.

    Away at Grimsby in mid-90s with Mike Ammann playing in goal. We get a goal kick, Mike places the ball and turns to walk back towards us behind the goal to take the kick. Seemed to be as one that we all put our left hands on our hearts and did the American national anthem, "der-de-der, der, der, der" style. Remember Mike and us then proceeded to crack up :-)

    Was there that day and you've just made me smile with that reminder. Used to like going there for some reason.

    This was a cracking moment indeed. It was just amazing watching it travel so far thinking that this can't be happening. Thanks for the memory.

    One memory i have from not to long ago was when Danny Mills got himself sent off. A man on the east stand became so angry at mills, he begins shouting incomprehensible words at him. Because of his anger he forgets that there are several hundred supportes in front of him and begins to topple over into the fans below trying I believe to get to the pitch and punch mills in the face.
    When he had calmed down he was two rows ahead of where he once sat. I think mills was a lucky man that day.

    Yeah, I remember my foot going through the wooden terrace as well.

    Dad crashed the car into another Charlton supporter's car on the way back.

    Did enjoy it away at Southend last year when their keeper got tangled in bog roll.

    The ref breaking a pencil in his sock last season and having to be stretchered off thinking he'd broken his leg. Effing priceless..

    Hopefully Llera can do something similar. .. without the goal at the other end of course!

    At Peterborough away, the 5-1 last season, in the pre match warm up, a group of lads were stood at the front of the terrace watching the players have some practice shots. One shot came over towards them and one of them lent over the barrier to try and get the ball but it was just out of his reach, and he toppled over the barrier and ended up stuck vertically, upside down between the barrier and the advertising hoardings, with his legs flailing around in the air until a steward came and have to lift him up by his ankles.

    Melrose....I remember that one. Thankfully I think there were no casualties (better hide this one from the "Safe Standing" debate!)

    I can remember there was a mud bank underneath. one bloke was basically standing on the bank (after going through the stand floor). All that was visable was his shoulders and head.

    Mervyn Day trying to kick an advertising board in anger, slipping on the cinder track surface and landing on his considerably massive arris.

    He sprung up really quickly like nothing had happened.

    99% of the ground never saw it....

    I was stood next to the bloke who fell through, lost my shoe which came off and fell to the floor below, my mate was killing himself laughing as i asked matey to pass my shoe up and didn't ask if he was ok! He did as well and yes he was ok, to pissed to hurt.
    Very very funny but could have been nasty.

    upton park when it was "home" - looking out of the terrace at Green Lane where there was a police horse running riderless up the road, with coppers in pursuit. With the whole stand singing Goodbye Horse. Hilarious!

    agree jdsd42 that was quality. Back in the day when Dazza Ambrose was with us he regularly poleaxed someone during warm up but one particular time he absolutely hammered a ball straight at us we all ducked and the lad behind got the ball full in the knackers just as he was taking a bite from his burger which proceeded to shoot out of his mouth like a missile. His mates couldn't stand up for laughing, he couldn't stand up for the pain and the rest of us were wiping burger from our coats.
