Some of the fans are shockinly bad!
Stopped in Fluer de lis pub for a few after the game and it was a great atmosphere full of Charlton fans and we were singing away.
However it got way out of hand as the pub was almost getting trashed before the police came in. The pool table was turned over, the toilets were getting trashed and a couple of fights almost broke out.
We’re all having a day out but it gets spoilt by the minority who gives us a bad name.
The landlady was pretty freaked out so I hope she is ok and nothing was majorly damaged in that pub.

Colours that are always there but kept hidden and under control.
Shameful and we are all tainted by it.
Can see how trouble can breakout at games, but personally have never, ever understood the smashing up of anything.
Let's see how many of those turn up to Sunderland away in the play offs.
What also dismayed me, was the lads with the flare were all filming each other, if that then makes it way online they have grassed themselves up
Agreed, brilliant day yesterday.
I managed to smash up a pub, shout loads of obscenities, let off a flare and a smoke bomb, rip up some seats and cave someone's head in!
Proper day out. That's what football's all about! Roll on the play-offs!!
One of the reasons is that too many S/T holders don't go.
I think about half were bought by S/T holders, so 1,100 went on general sale and "fans" turn up that don't elsewhere.
Evil
Using words like this complete nullify your arguement imo. What happened in Sri Lanka was barbaric and evil, what happened yesterday was a few drunken idiots acting like dickheads.
I think our rep as Happy Clappy Charlton Athletic will survive and let's hope the camera happy OB have caught the bell ends involved bang to rights.
We have so much to sing and clap about - there really is no need for vandalism to get attention.
As for the smoke bombs - you know someone is going to get hurt/burnt eventually, but it won't be the person(s) that sets them off.
I’ll admit i’m very at home in the type of atmosphere and support we had yesterday, but I really think throwing anything (bottles, signs, bits of seat, shoes (yep seriously) around is moronic, esp when their are children in the crowd. Just doesn’t achieve anything.
Some of the boisterous behaviour continued on the train home. At one point some lads had taken all the seats off the train and someone told them to put them back as smashing up trains was Millwall behaviour not Charlton. While a couple of lads got into an argument about it, almost everyone put them back. Proper Charlton
I think it's to be expected that there will be a bit of this sort of thing at a local away game. It's probably not very pleasant for other people on the train, but then ultimately this is why there should be football specials.
I saw one pipe displaced from a urinal.
Did anyone see worse or was that it ?
Somewhere like Burton or Scunthorpe. No chance.
i don’t think we are any different to any club it is the only sort of derby game we have had this year and so is going to attract certain types.
