If I could sum up the day with one moment, it would be the sight of Waggy trying to break up a fight between a fan and a steward, whilst behind them a very fat bloke knelt on the penalty spot, face in hands, sobbing.
Will post more tomorrow as wasting valuable drinking time. But excellent support, a solid performance and wonderful celebrations at the end.
Watching all the players sing along and Chris holding up the banner was incredible.
Highlight for me, JJ coming accross to take a corner and asking the Sheff Weds score from the front row.
Hope everyone had a safe trip home.
Morro was superb and Cantona never stops trying.
Our support was brilliant, it was easy for me as I'm localish. Due to the Lass's broken leg the stewards gave us seats right at the front by the corner flag - where it was quiet. But not for long as where we sat was also the easiest place to access the pitch. So within a short time we were surrounded by a great group of singing happy fans. When BWP scored all around us spilled onto the pitch, it was brilliant. Some of the stewarding was rough and I've tried to get some pics of it which I'll download in the morning. At the final whistle it was euphoric pandemonium, the best since Wembley, in fact better as it was far more personal with JJ asking us the score and Hamer and Waggy coming straight over at the final whistle.
Well done everyone
As a man from the valleys would say, " I know, I was there."
The game, first half was even Stephens (who lost possession three times in as many minutes but made up for it with some of his 2nd half passes), it seemed that events in Colchester were as important and a number of those spontanious celebrations as news filtered through.
Top sing song in the concourse at half time warmed up the crowd for a more open 2nd 45, the game seemed to turn on two quick incidents, they hit the post/bar with BH only able to watch, then the ref hit the ball and putting BWP through who narrowly missed, we turned the screw then with a succession of chances/corners, the crowd sensed things and got closer and closer to the front!
bedlham when we scored, celebrations went on for ages with players and fans alike, you could see how much it meant. I didnt feel worried as the clock ran down and JJ asking us the Wendies score when taking a late corner (I must have been in the row behind you Lancs) really made me feel part of the same team, its the little things like that that the team have done so well this season. just fantastic celebrations that will live long in the memory. It was ages until the team came out, with the tannoy advising us they wouldnt, we stayed and they did, Bradley P played the drums, my son cried, I cried and then so did Chris Powell who had to go and find space for himself whilst he took it all in!
Balls will always burst in our cup finals and promotion will always be gained at Carlisle away, its the law! I am extremely proud to be a Charlton fan tonight, weve got our Charlton back!
Try and post something that makes sense tomorrow but, just puuling into Welling, I'm living the dream!
Possibly had the best month in existence!
all in all brilliant day. griffin full of charlton getting an atmosphere going from midday, although bar staff were a joke!
Game was pretty dire looked like it was going to fizzle into a 0-0 but you always had that feeling we might nick it and bloody mental scenes when we did!!
Loved the celebrations at the end, when the players were lifting powell in the air magic scenes!
Jobs worth.
Who cares we are up COYR
one of the best gaems ever, charlton all over teh place from 1ish onwards, cracking atmosphere, seeing some old and young faces on pitch, seeing a mate in tears on the pitch after, that steward getting a clump probably same one ct mentioned, players reaction at the end and not running away, the ob at the station who knew what it meant to us, everyone as one kind of thing, kids, lads, players celebrating as one. was brilliant, the ammount of old skool songs getting aired.
downsides, not the best of games, stewards actting up, ruining a pair of jeans on the grass, price of the champagne we drunk along with sttella, having a camera stuck in our faces after by ob non stop.
goodnight, and what a night!
will sort grammar out tomorrow. off for a couple more cans. not often you get promoted!
