in General Charlton
I am always utterly embarrassed by our pathetic turnout against Millwall at the Valley. Our away support at the Den is usually pretty good, but it perplexes me as to why so many stay away for home fixture against our south London neighbours.
Are people scared to come to their own ground?
I'm 24 and have been a season ticket holder since I was 9 and have never encountered any violence at this fixture at the Valley. Maybe others have different stories to tell.
We haven't won in this fixture since 96 and I am sick of the stick that I get from my Millwall friends about our shocking record and poor support. I would love to know why so many people don't want to support our team against Millwall ...

    Why are you asking the question....when was the last time our fans did turn out in numbers at home to Millwall.

    Looking after my two month year old, have only made Boro so far this year.

    Wish I'd not bothered to watch yesterday on Sky either to be honest!

    You are right, others have.
    Yesterday up Charlton Church Lane for example.

    That wasn't really violence.... More handbags at ten paces.

    I was too busy licking foie gras off of the nipples of a Balinese princess whilst having my todger dipped in Pol Roger and blow dried by the one in the Sugar Babes who you can actually understand with her mouth full...

    Oh and I DID come EVENTUALLY.

    It can't be that tough, I know some people who have done it and you wouldn't describe them as tough..... And women do it! (ducks for cover as the handbag brigade unleash their venom).

    North London - is that Tough Mudder or Tough Mugger ?

    You've never experienced violence at this fixture... but prior to yesterday it had only taken place twice since you've been going...

    I was at home in Somerset looking after my two young kids. Watched the match last night after they'd gone to bed having avoided finding out the result. One of the worst Saturday nights I've ever had. Pitiful performance. Devoid of any quality, heart or tactics. Only too pleased I hadn't travelled my usual 360 mile round trip to see it. Good enough reason for you?

    Had other things on me mind okay and these pills don't exactly help! Ffs

    How about we try a bit more fore-play next time or maybe even introduce a bit of porn?

    Gillette Soccer Saturday is more exciting than watching Charlton.
