Blimey didn't realise Tyronne Sterling was playing for them. He used to coach at Charlton and used to tun some the Charlton Challenge courses including the one my son was on.
So, we are not allowed to "support" Bromley on the basis that they are also followed by some supporters of a local rival. But we are allowed to follow Welling, who are actually a much closer local rival to Charlton than Palace are? And we are allowed to follow Dartford who are further away than Bromley?

My 'ead 'urts...
Come on The Ravens!
I'm with you Algarve.
I live in Beckenham so am I not allowed to support Charlton as my home is nearer to Palace?
Before that I lived in Sydenham, again close to Selhurst Park, do I now have to switch my allegiance after 45 years of supporting Charlton because it offends someone on here?
Been to Bromley a couple of times and enjoyed it, maybe I can't say that either as there may have been some Palace fans in the crowd.
There’s quite a decent Charlton leaning contingent in the Bromley hardcore. I went to a game a few weeks ago away at Aldershot and ended up chatting about the tour to Tunisia in the 70s with a few people who had been there.

It's typical of the parochial, suburban attitude of those that live in Welling, Bexleyheath and Sidcup.
They think all Charlton fans come from those areas because other than work and package holidays they rarelly leave them.
It was their "you have to following Welling to be a real Charlton fan" attitude that held the club back down the years and stopped us becoming a major force in English football.
No surprise they don't understand and so envy their more urbane and sophisticated cousins across the border in beautiful Bromley.

Hanlan gets a lot of mentions - must have had a strong game.
Good to seem him doing well.
Only acceptable non-League dabbling by proper Charlton is confined to Greenwich, Bexley and (at a push) Dartford boroughs.
Those who support Bromley might as well go to Selhurst!!
But seriously I've ony seen Bromley play 4 times and 3 were against Charlton.
And we are allowed to follow Dartford who are further away than Bromley?
