    Cheers

    Since I wrote this article I've been contacted by a fan in Thailand (Bangkok Addick) so add that country to the list.

    Whatever happened to those Scottish Addicks who followed the club in the 1980s? I seem to remember they were Dundee fans (or Dundee Utd?) and came down a few times during our Selhurst years, anyway they were featured in VoTV a few times.

    Also, in the late 70's or early 80's there seemed to be some tie up with St Johnstone and we played them a few times in friendlies. At the time, they had a prolific goalscorer called Henry Hall, I believe.

    I remember going up to Perth and seeing us lose 2-0 but there was some liason between supporters clubs.

    There is an American couple (true American not ex-pat) who i met in NYC last month. They are coming to the Sheff Utd game and i told them i'd see them in the Oak after the game. Might not be a pleasant sight.

    Spooky this article should be posted today.

    My daughter met some Charlton fans in Gambia recently and wanted to talk to somebody about developing links with the Club as (unsurprisingly) it appears to be predominantly Chelsea and Man U out there.

    Henry, who should she contact?

    There's a fair few antipodian addicks scattered around the place, mostly after work/pouring beers in SE London over the years.

    I try to spread the word while touring the world, but I've yet to meet any in Eastern Europe (Poland/Slovakia).
  • didn't a few russians (spartak moscow or moscow dynamo fans?) come to boro a few years back? i seem to remember getting a replacement bus service for part of the train journey (cue anorak), we ended up on their coach and they were all completely sh*tfaced on russian vodka/brick acid.

    Yes, Oakster off here organised a game against them on Blackheath Common, and they were having neat vodka as their half time drink !
