My 10 year old son had a season ticket the 1st season in league 1 (ok maybe a little young but he wanted one) he went for half a season then said during a game" dad is it finished yet I'm bored and I never wanna come back and watch this rubbish again" which I couldn't argue with.he now has a season ticket this season and I fear the poor boy has what every charlton fan has the charlton bug.i have warned him he's in for a life of rare happy times lots of sad times along with disappointments but he said that's ok I love them.
During today's game when we scored he was jumping around more than iv ever seen him at a charlton game then he sat gutted when they equalised during the 2nd half he was quiet I was expecting the "how long left dad I'm bored" I asked if he was ok he said iv got butterflies in my belly I must be nervous.then the late winner I looked at him and he was crying I said what's wrong he just said " I'm so happy that's why in crying" I think it's 100% the boy has the charlton bug

I was 24 and I couldn't find the buzz i used to get watching my childhood team up in Scotland, but that match changed all that!
Had a season ticket since.
It is amazing when you get the buzz!
Great story though dan
Sure a lot of us can remember heading to watch Charlton as a youngster and feeling the mighty highs and crippling lows. 20+ years later and Charlton scoring still has me bouncing around like a clown.
think i've had it for about 15 years and it doesn't seem like it's going away
