I nearly wet myself when i just saw the local news (calendar) and the massive fans were standing in the rain outisde the town hall waiting for the team to be presented to the fans. An achievement it may be, but worth a town hall event i'm not sure.

  • 20,000 are outside the town hall waiting for the players. Unreal.

    I've just seen that and I was yelling at the bird on the screen when she was on about them presenting thechampionship trophy to the Massives. They only gave em a flipping cup! Unbelievable! The championship trophy is safely tucked away in OUR cabinet you MUPPET and they won feck all!
    And if that crowd in the square was 20000 we must have had over 100k in the Valley on Saturday!

    I'm with Greenie on this one.

    they are not celebrating finishing 2nd, simply getting out of this league. i would be outside Woolwich town hall if we had decided to do the same.

  • What a sad club. Celebrating like that for finishing runners up in league 1. How embarrassing

    Hi Joe, bet the stress levels are down a notch now. What a day on saturday. I guess we'll let the Massives have their day, because we'll be back at Hillsborough soon to take 3 more points ;-)

    Yeah apparently it's a runners up, promotion cup. It looked like the FA Cup, a bit sad really for coming second. Semedo and their chairman were presented with it by the Lord Mayor and they held it up for the crowd to go a bit giddy.

    Would you really have gone to woolwich town hall in the rain to watch the team come out with a runners up trophy?

    Didn't we get a trophy for winning the play-offs in 98?
    Efectively the 3rd best team that year. Not there thought they are given a trophy.

    Is it official or made by Timpsons ?

    Seriously, its actually embarassing seeing how much some Charlton fans go on about Wednesday.

    GET A LIFE - if we had come second, we would all be going loopy.

    This 1st place finish is fantastic but it seems to be turning some of our lot into arrogant idiots.

    We wouldn't get 20k in the town centre, because we don't have the same fanbase as Wednesday, not even close.

    Worry about your own club.

    Good luck to them but that pic is nothing like 20k, probably less than a thousand

    Rather embarrassing to celebrate runners up but hey ho

    Was Megson there?
  • At least with the playoffs you're at wembley, effectively they're mini tournaments in themselves. The second place cup sounds silly, what's wrong with a silver medal or something?

    You get a bigger trophy for winning the Play offs. It was a shield when Coca Cola were sponsors
