If we can cobble together 11 addicks we could make it work. DHFCs team play at Belair park in Dulwich so thats a possible venue for a game.
If you are serious what positions do we need as said I am happy to be gk
Still trying to get a general consensus as a lot of replies to this thread are memories of previous teams without actually saying they want to play again. Great to see theres interest though.
If you deffo want to play for a reformed addicks supporters team can you reply with a "I want to play"?
I want to play
23 Years Old, 6ft, Striker, a bit like Yann Kermorgant but a bit less fit. Other than that, 100% the same

so youll leave us in the lurch at the first sight of a better cash offer, closer to Breton and then rubbish the guy that organised the game in the SLP?
Hi all, new on here but read the forum all the time. I'd be keen for the odd game (as an Addick now living in Gravesend but home 2 mins up the road from the Valley) as would my two brothers. Used to play regularly to a decent standard but not so much anymore!
I'd be up for playing but not organising - I've had enough of that....loads of people say they'll turn up only to be left having to borrow a couple of players from the Yeovil supporters who've travelled up from Devon etc... The game against Dulwich Supporters (on their actual pitch after the last game of the season I believe) was another where I was calling around local mates with 5 mins til KO...doh!
As the 'old' CIFC, we had Andy Hunt's brother play (he was quality), then we had Uncle and George Shelvey as Charlton Life FC...who's next?
We've played a number of internationals too...played against Iranian supporters and a team from Moscow...I think Oakster has the pictures...great times :-)

No pictures, but a report....
A 7-1 defeat by the Russians. Fielding a very much under strength side CIFC fought bravely in the first half to restrict the Ruskis to just 2-0 at half time. A fine effort from Messrs Williams & Peters in the middle at the back breaking up swarm after swarm of Russians breaking through our midfield. Indeed it was reminiscent of Stalingrad in 1942 when the brave Nazi defenders held out against the communist counterattacking onslaughts, with suicidal Reds swarming day & night across the river Volga. All this after the Fatherlands glorious march across the Caucasas as part of Operation Barabarossa had come to grinding holt in the backstreets & warehouses of Stalingrad.
The second half saw the Red's encircling the CIFC penalty area and much like the 1942 fixture in which Generalfeldmarschall Friedrich Paulus Sixth army had finally been encircled by revenge hungry Russians, the boys in Ecru capitulated. 5 sniper like goals flew past the hapless Guyott - with the only comic relief an unlikely goal from Matt Owen. Much like Bergkamp's at Newcastle last year was this the work of a football genius or an unitentional slice of pure luck??? - I'll leave those that were there to judge!! The other highlight was a shot on goal from Spinksy, which caused the Russian keeper a (very) brief moment of concern.
In the end the maurauding Russians simply overwhelmed us & what remained of the dreary, dejected CIFC troops marched off to the icy Gulags of the Coldharbour changing rooms - never to be heard of again.

Those Russians were ridiculously skillful, much better than any English team we ever played. @Oakster who was it that you, me and Neil played against for arsenal? Was that the Russians as well?

Yes - same team I think, that one ended up about 15-0 to them. Whatever happened to Mr. Guyott?
I played for the supporters club around 89/90 alongside Steve Dixon (think even airman used to play, but not too sure). I recall one game away (Barnsley or Swindon I think) on a rainy day & the pitch seem to slope away in all directions, meaning having to constantly waiting for the ball to come back.
We formed a team called Charlton VP in the aftermath of the Valley Party campaign in the early nineties. Played in the Woolwich Sunday league for a couple of seasons. One or two were not Addicks, but the vast majority were. Peter F was one of my fellow players.
We were not the greatest of teams! I seem to remember Steve Sutherland turning up to watch us get thrashed, then proceeded to tell us it was all about the angles....
Ill get in touch with the chap in charge of the DHFC supporters team. Might be best to get a potential date down first, then see who is available after that.
