    1944 Charlton v Reading. 

    What's with all the foliage on the terrace? Looks very odd.

    Kick off moved to 2.45pm from 3.00pm due to fuel cuts. Temperature at KO was minus 3 centigrade #cafc were winning 1 - 0 thru' Brian Kinsey when the game was abandoned. Re-arranged game was played 18 May when won 2 - 1 with a late Cliff Durandt long range shot


    ---------

    Older fans can confirm but was this the famous Durandt Banana shot goal?

    TBH, from the newsreel footage

    it looked dangerously overcrowded. We'll never know exactly how many were there, I've seen 68000 to near 90000 quoted.
