Low point in supporting Charlton

Think last night was it for me - don't feel like watching Charlton anymore.

Our football is dreadful to watch and we're stuck with an awful manager/squad.

We can't spend money wisely and we're just becoming embarrassing. Still stunned from last night.

    Most of us have probably been fortunate that last night was the first league game at the Valley for 38 days. A couple of those in quick succession and we could be hitting post back to the Valley gate lows that match the ones we saw in the 1970s

    The Northampton home game last season was miles worse than last night.

    For many, the low point supporting Charlton will only ever be 5th October 1985.
    Not March 1984 when we went into liquidation?

    Rogue shout, but 2018 Blackpool away, maybe Robinson's last game I think, we had Naby Sarr at left back and genuinely didn't even come close to our own box, let alone score, conceded a last minute winner and barely anyone was bothered given it was what we deserved.

    A fair point, but it was also a great moment as we didn’t actually go into liquidation, and we still had an identity.

    Playing at Selhurst felt like that identity had gone. The campaign over the next few years and the return 7 years later gave us it back.

    1-4 to Bolton (28/9/24) the rain was chucking it down. Was on my own, lost my wallet (with my oyster in it). Had to get an uber home and the driver said 'It was going to get better" (we all know how that turned out).
    I have seen this club loose to Dagenham, Northampton (at the Valley), and even last night, but I have always gone back to that night as being the lowest point.

    For me being one of the 2,083 at Upton Park when we lost 1-0 to Bury in the League Cup in 1992. Cold, miserable, and missed my train home.

    Thankfully we didn't follow the path the Wombles did.

    We've lost at home to Morecambe and Accrington Stanley that felt pretty low to me.

    To be honest I'm 35 soon, I have a family and career. I come Charlton to see friends that I would probably lose contact with if I didn't come.

    One of my lows too, my 50th birthday and the impact on my mum’s Alzheimer’s hit home as she didn’t know it was 😞

    Stick with it with a stiff upper lip south east London stoicism.

    Good times will return and always darkest before dawn.

    There have been so many. You just become immune to it after a while. The key is to not spend too much of your time feeling depressed about it. There are more important things to worry about - as we have seen from post on CL today. 

    Charlton will always let you down in the long run - it’s  a given. Of course there are times when it’s good - premier league years, winning play off finals, getting promoted  - you have suck the life blood out of those moments as you ain’t getting many.

    I’m celebrating winning corners at the moment.

    I always thought there'd be a point from which the only way was up, but the last few seasons show we can always go lower. But I'll match this admirable optimism and keep the faith.

    That Dagenham away defeat always sticks in my mind as the lowest low, but I think last night is very close to trumping it. Absolutely dismal, but I feel a lot of us have become desensitised to it all now and just don't have the energy to get angry about it anymore. Will be back for the next home game, got a ticket for Crawley on NYD (revenge!) and thinking about going to PNE as I've never done the ground before. I dunno why we all bother, I guess it's just habit after nearly 40yrs of going! COYA

    Was that the game it hammered down with rain the whole time? I just remember us losing and the ground being empty because they had a boycott

    There are many, unfortunately

    There are just so many, but last night was up there. 

    Flat atmosphere outside the club, empty seats everywhere, outplayed by the seasons relegation favourites (at the start of the season) 
  • RobRob
    100% for me. I’ve never felt so bad about the club. All the promises, all the hype and it’s the same old story. Seriously beginning to lose interest in all things Charlton. Things need to change quickly!

    Losing 4-0 to millwall and then subsequently seeing them giving it the large one around SE after winning at Wembley in 2010.  That was shite.

    Sheff Wednesday at home first full season after lockdown I was absolutely buzzing to be back after we finished the season strong with Adkins, all the comments about romping the league the next season.  Then we were served up absolute bilge.

    But right now takes some beating, it’s a slow numbing feeling, which is worse because it feels like we’re stuck for the first time in this league forever.  I feel like if we signed 11 wonder kids from the premier league we’d still find a way of finishing 13th.
