in General Charlton
come on, we all knew it was going to be Charlton v Sunderland in the play off final as soon as they got relegated last season and we missed out on the chance of going up; just as we  all were saying we hoped palace needed the points to stay up in the last day as soon as the fixture list came out that season.

There must have been other games of importance that we should have gone and got odds from the bookies 9 to 12 months in advance because they were fated to take place; and what’s the next bleeding obvious one ?

    How many times have we actually won promotion at The Valley?

    We won the League the week after Carlisle and that was at the Valley - Going to say it was MK Dons?

    Does anyone know where we won promotions during the 30’s? Could it be that we have won promotion more times at Carlisle?
