Manchester (and Surrounding Areas) Addicks
After reading @Henry Irving report of the Bromley Addicks meeting with Karl and Lee, it got me thinking:
How many Charlton Fans are there in Manchester and the surrounding areas?
Is there already a group set up like Bromley Addicks (if so please let me know as i'd like to join)?
How many lifers are based in Manchester and surrounding areas (aka the NORTH)?
Would be interesting to see
Maybe if there is enough of us, we can arrange a meet up this side of Christmas? perhaps all meet up at a game (Blackburn and Wigan spring to mind)

Me and BaldybonceJNR were in Manchester last week. As we passed a shop being fitted out one of the builders called Bb JNR over (he had his Charlton shirt on) gave him a thumbs up and said he was Charlton.
So yes, there is someone up there.0 -

What about the black guy who in a very old votv came from Manchester and supported Charlton as when young he misread a local sign for Chorlton?
Did see him at Brighton away in recent times. Pork pie hat.0 -
There's a couple of Valley diehards now in Preston and another in Leeds that I know of...1

@cafcwill, albeit @The Red Robin is from the other side of the Pennines, he did suggest the setting up of a Northern Addicks group some while ago but this didn't seem to get off the ground.
Lancashire Lad and his Lass have now moved back down South but @bobmunro @CheshireAddick ? @ChesterAddick ? and myself are not a million miles away

There are 5 of us who live in the Manchester area, Altrincham, City centre, Knutsford and two in Bury region. We meet up for games oop north, and two of us are season ticket holders, so travel down for home games. Some of the others come down for home games also. We are all in our 60's, retired, but you are welcome to join our select group, cafcwill. We also meet up for sporadic pub crawls, to discuss all things Charlton.14

I did get a decent amount of responses actually but life has got in the way a bit. I'm definitely up for meeting up at Blackburn or Wigan and going from there. With enough of us across the north we can make it work.RedChaser said:@cafcwill, albeit @The Red Robin is from the other side of the Pennines, he did suggest the setting up of a Northern Addicks group some while ago but this didn't seem to get off the ground.

Live and work in Leeds, struggle to get to weekend games ATM but would be well up for a session.
Used to do some "supporters club" stuff back in a previous life so have a bit of an idea.1 -
Would deffo be up for this too0

Will we have own special signal or handshake :-)5

Loving the response to this. We will party when Roland sells. Next tv game we should all meet up at a pub, they'll have to show the match if we all turn up0
-
Your on !! it's a date (so to speak) :-). This could be bigger than the Bromley Addicks secret society :-). In fact move the club up and attendances could actually increase :-)0

I used to say I was the only Charlton fan above the Midlands. It seems I was very very wrongSaulc23 said:I’m living in Stockport. Would love to meet up with a few others who are local. Happy to help with arranging stuff if needed? Can be quite lonely being the only Charlton fan people know!

Very nice golf course there. Flaming roadworks near Handforth Dean a pain in the rear end though, seem to have been going on forever and no bugger ever workingSaulc23 said:

I think we can narrow this down to 'which road' do you live on.Saulc23 said:

I'm in Bramhall as well lol2 -
Good idea. When in a packed pub full of football supporters hold out your clenched fist with the back of the hand facing them, shout ‘Oi’ very loudly to get their attention and extend the middle finger. Only your fellow Addicks will recognise this as the secret signal.CheshireAddick said:Will we have own special signal or handshake :-)

Amongst the general bonhomie of this thread, can we all just agree that it's grim up north? ;-)1
