in General Charlton
To have a sing song and a bit of a shout up again?

Throw your arms around, shout at the ref, the lino who saw nothing, the diving oppo, Get frustrated when we miss a chance. Sing your heart out. 

Love it, proper therapy getting a shout up out your system!

    Loved it...

    But god am I lacking in match sharpness

    Hands were sore from clapping before the game had even started

    Voice started to disappear on about 40mins!!

    Absolutely brilliant, always going to be an anticlimax with the result, but how good was it to be back!!!

    Certainly haven’t missed the refereeing. Christ he was awful.

    I woke up this morning thinking of the game and didn't really stop until it was time to get on our way. Great to be back and looking forward to the season as always.

    Took my 8 year old daughter today at the top of the North stand upper. She was in her element. So nice to see her  with a smile on her face,

    That is so true for me. In fact it's been so long, that quite usual things felt unfamiliar. I felt like a newbie going along for the first time. Judging by some of the disorganisation (nothing major, just little things) I wasn't the only one who wasn't quite match fit either.

    Great to be in a lively Covered End but just one small criticism.
    Can we drop the 'Who the fucking hell are you' and 'You're support is fucking shit' to a team with 3000 fans. I've no love for Wednesday but they will always turn up.
    It was especially poor to be singing it whilst their player was lying motionless on the pitch.

    Not to mention the incest song.

    I had those nerves with 20 minutes to go where my chest was physically hurting just knowing that they were going to nick it with a spawny goal right at the death. I’d seen that story before, I knew how it ended.

    When Bannon broke through I sank into my seat and just feared the worst, only to see it roll wide. I said to my brother, “I tell you what, that was horrible, but I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else right now”.

    It was so good to be back.

    It was good but with a tinge of sadness for those who couldn't be there.

    Good to chat with you too @Simonsen always enjoy your game views.

    thanks for the beer @razil I'm sure you’ve wrote down I owe you one :-) Seeing how long the kiosk queues were pre game and then seeing the pic of just how empty the stand was was really surprising. 

    wasn’t so good seeing @Pico and @Rob7Lee as it cost me money, nor @mistrollingin as it took two whacks to my head to get my attention lol

    Can’t remember last game I took em all too but 
    15 year old was a bag of nerves when Wednesday attacked , he loves his footy and watched 95% of the live stuff with me during last season
    13 year old petrol head enjoys the atmosphere a bit but was bored shitless and pissed off he was forced to come. ‘I feel guilty someone who might enjoy football could have used the seat daddy’ me “it’s fucking empty anyone who wanted to come could have come” 
    11 year old Peter Kay lookalike just comes for the fizzy drinks bit harsh there he’s in to it and loves it 
    9 year old lairy little shit ,mad for it and screaming and shouting at the ref and up going mental from the first minute  , think he’ll be looking for a transfer to the north upper in a few years 
    I’m all of the above and more ten times over

    Bit strange singing that one. Sheffield is no hillbilly outpost.

    I don’t think much thinking about the social profile of the locality that opposition emanate from goes on!

    I took a mate to his first Charlton match (only been to 3 international matches prior) and he enjoyed the atmosphere in the cupboard end. The clincher was the “you….shit…ta..” at the Wednesday keeper and then the ball being kicked straight into touch.  He couldn’t stop laughing. 

    He will be coming again and wants to buy a Charlton cap and scarf. And wants to learn the words to all the songs.  So well done fellow Addicks.  Give yourselves a pat on the back.

    I'm surprised that this chant seemed to be a clincher in 2021

    Absolutely.  How many would we have had at theirs for a 17:30 kick off on the telly? Less than 1k I would say. "No train back to London after the game" etc etc.

    I had a great day . The atmosphere. Thomas doing his thing . The opening of the Curbs stand . Even the game , which let’s face it , was shit - I enjoyed because it’s been such a long time . Still buzzing

    We were in the East stand, sorry Curbs stand as we will now try and call  it.
    Missed the 🌈 gutted.
    Doesn't look like much work has been done in the Curbs stand other than the signage?
    Bogs are still shit, food was shit and slow as per, and there was a new leak.

    So how many of the crowd on Saturday were Arsenal or Spurs supporting mates? ;)

    Only one food stand open is ridiculous.

    I think the below sums it all up following the last 18 months.

    Sold for £1.00 to a bunch of conmen, some of whom proceeded to rape the club of its sparse coffers.
    Passed onto another bunch of chancers who again did their best to finish the club
    Just when we were thinking we would need to form a new club and we would be playing lower league this season. Out of nowhere pops up on Twitter a bloke from America saying he wants to buy the club.
    After so much turmoil and legal wranglings TS won the day in court.
    From the deepest depths somehow we had a club that would still exist.
    Covid 19 arrives and basically stops the world in it's tracks.
    The matches continued but none of us were allowed to attend.
    Hopefully the vaccine will win and crowds can get back to the ground
    On Saturday the day arrived and anyone who wanted to attend could go.

    The game wasnt the best, the result wasnt the best, but we were there on the pitch which is alot more than I had hoped for on quite a few occasions during the last 18 months.

    I wish all the people moaning on here would just take stock of the above. Yes things are not perfect but it could have been a whole lot worse. We really should all count our lucky stars that we
    1. Have a club to watch 
    2. Be still here ourselves to be able to do so.
