    It's been a bloody awful time, a few bright sparks but overall just dire. 

    One day we get somewhere back to stability and been a little hope, one day

    Since we first gained promotion from the third tier in 1929 (after 8 seasons of League football)

    In the next 80 years we had 3 spells in the third tier
    2 seasons 1933-5
    3 seasons 1972-5
    1 season 1980-1

    In the last 12 seasons we have had 3 spells in the third tier
    3 seasons 2009-12
    3 seasons 2016-19
    1 season and counting 2020-?


    6 seasons in 80 years

    7 seasons in 12 years 

    These are the crappiest times in our history imo 
    as a club growing and moving up the local league’s then establishing ourselves in the Football League and now this

    And some people tell me as a fan that's been watching for only around 25 years that I don't know what it's like to watch a bad Charlton side.

    Shameful really and all started with Murrays treatment of Curbs. Pure jealousy. Basically in the last 12 years we've had 3 good seasons and 9 shit ones. I'm including Powells first season in the championship.

    I was there that night. To the left of the goal & right in line with his shot. As soon as he struck it I knew it was in. 

    Southend away has given us some scenes over the years. The "hanky" match, Belieks winner & the late sending offs are just a few to add to this match.

    Southend are now 22nd in League Two and in danger of playing non-league football next year. What happened there? Grimsby are bottom of the table, as well. Remember them being a decent Div 1 side back in the day.

    What a night that was. Stayed in a b&b with @Glass half empty started off in The Foresters with a minibus load from The Red Barn and ended up in TOTS at the end of the night. A few locals knew we were Charlton so I asked the DJ to play a dedication to my mate Nicky Bailey as it was his birthday.

    Went to a busy kebab shop about 3 in the morning and one of us started singing the Nicky Bailey song very quietly and one by one, the whole place ended up singing it at the top of our voices. Turned out pretty much everyone in there were addicks. The owner was a bit bemused but thought it was hilarious.

    Grimsby had a cracking striker in the mid 90s. Can’t remember his name
