What else...a Charlton player getting injured, a City player kicking the ball out to allow the physio on and then Minto taking the throw and giving the ball to one of our players, that was just before the equaliser but not I think in the move that led to the goal.
you mean this guy:

what happend to him?
Who remembers the shambolic ticket arrangements for the ManUre game? Queuing right the way up Harvey Gardens and up round the corner up towards the Heights. The club changed the allocation basis as we were in the queue. I wanted two tickets which were originally available to non season ticket holders/members. After a hour or so in the queue, it was changed to members 2 ticket each.None members weren't going to get any. I had left my Valley Gold membership stuff at home in Tunbridge Wells. I decided to go and borrow my dad's who lived about 3/4 hr away. The blokes around me held my place in the queue and I went off for and hour and half, returning and the queue had only moved about 10 yards forward. What a shambles. Still it was worth the effort.
Remember we took 6,000, which was amazing baring in mind our home crowds and it wasn't exactly a plum draw. On a big open terrace though, the atmosphere was a real let down.
I don't really remember much violence after the game but could feel it in the air as I walked out. I think we were seperated from the city fans by a line of that police-do not cross tape.
I remember the game mainly cos of the aggro outside.That was not police tape - it was a single rope. Just that seperated us from the home fans. Ahh yes the nearby skip that was loaded with wood. That was stragetically placed. As for the game - yes awesone away following.
It was one of the final games before our 1993-94 season went completely tits up.
The game that started the rot? Man U V Charlton 12(?) March 1994.
The run afterwards? Was it 3 wins out of 15?
I went to a few of them - Tranmere, Boro and Derby. All 3 games ended in 2-0 defeats. The team had the stuffing knocked out of them. How small was John Vaughan?
Too many games that season. 61 including the Anglo Italian Cup?
As AFKA says the match is only memorable because of the trouble.
Went to both matches - from Scotland. Drove down to Bristol and stayed with a cousin for the first one, then splashed out on a flight (and time off work) to go to the replay. Sat in the West Stand, I think. Can't believe the home crowd was that small - but think that was a capacity issue in those days. We then took 10,000 to Old Trafford for the next round, complete with optimistic half-time singing of "Things can only get better". Perhaps the fact that they didn't is one of the reasons why I'm now a scarred Charlton pessimist!
Very hairy after the game but felt we held our own LOL
Was so pissed that I couldn't talk and when we walked out after the game when it was kicking off, I wondered why the fcuk everyone wearing red & white were fighting!
Remember it being a edgy game. A few nasty tackles and then we didn't throw the ball back to them. At the end the people in the upper tier of the stand to our left were throwing coins down on us. No police or stewards move to stop them.
The "thin blue line outside" ie a bit of rope meant we had some gobby city fans giving it. One said "you're small time Charlton and that's all you'll ever be". I had to laugh. You'd expect that from Spurs or Chelsea but Bristol City!
Was parked near an open green and there were running fights all up the road. some Charlton chased some City fans one of whom turned and landed a perfect punch on the chin of an oncoming Addick. He went down in a wobble like the opening sequence of Tales of the unexpected.
Couldn't get in the car when we reached it as there was fighting in the road and couldn't get round to open the door (this was before the car we went in had central locking). When we did we just drove off in the directon we were facing and drove around until we found a sign for the motorway.
Thankfully don't get so much of this rubbish anymore the police are slightly more on top of things. We were Div 2 then. What division were City in? Div 3 (I'm talking old money here)
I was to the right of the goal and when we came out it was a piece of rope keeping us apart hahahaha!
To the right their was a big advert hording with a gap to the right and as we walked past Brizzle chargered through it and attacked!
They must have thought we were going to run back into the ground WRONG HAPPY DAYS!!
I remember a member of this board having it with a big lump in someones front garden (And doing very well)
NOW don't start me on the pie man........He came from Oxford (Cant remember his name?) he came over as this fella who knew the score and said later that season when we played Oxford Utd to meet up with him and he would have a drink with us.
We met him early doors and he was giving it that he was a main face in Oxford and he would sort out any trouble if it accured.........Yeah right! After the game we walked (5 of us Not looking for trouble may I add!) to the station 3 miles at a guess?
When we get into the town center we meet their firm head on out numbering us 4/1 so were on our toes I'm with the pie man who has assured us he knew them and he could sort them out. So what does he do.....He runs round the corner and hides in PIZZA HUT by putting a menu in front of him which leaves me on my lonsome! Luckely they see some more Charlton in greater numbers and decide to have a pop at them! I think that was the last time he was seen a Charlton match?
Good old days eh!
Think his name was Mark Shaw and he was a complete cnut.
Somehow managed to get hooked up with him at Oxford away in the 80's. Same thing as above, help initiate a row and then vanished.
Here's a great photo of the game.
Im with Dave Millbank...I wonder if he still goes? We went down in a V8 Discovery Id just bought new.....the trip cured me of wanting a Discovery it cost £64 in petrol even back in those days, and I sold it 3 weeks later. Greig was with me (now 24) and Daves son Ben.
Im standing 6 rows back from Tav and to the right as you look at the picture, in a brown suede jacket next to Dave in a black bomber jacket with his arms folded...Greig is standing a couple of steps in front of us
