no ur not right ---Millwall will always be our rivals----palarse treated us like shit when we hd to share their shit hole , we paid that back by relegating them from the prem.
nearest ground to us is West Ham but the Thames is in the way.

Millwall are the real enemy but they're more concerned about West Ham.
Resentment for Palace comes from the 80s ground share.0 -
To most mate Millsmall are the true rivals although over the years the behavior of the stripey kiddie hitterscand old man beating scum has warranted a bigger amounting younger fans hating them as much if not more than millsmall
To me I don't like either but my hatred is different towards both

Wait till West Ham move into the Olympic Stadium if you think Millwall are close0

I think that's pretty much spot on. As a younger fan I don't really mind Millwall a great deal; have a nasty history but they don't really come up on my radar. They have their West Ham bitterness and that suits them.nth london addick said:To most mate Millsmall are the true rivals although over the years the behavior of the stripey kiddie hitterscand old man beating scum has warranted a bigger amounting younger fans hating them as much if not more than millsmall

Palace though? Cowardly and Cringey. Plastic and pathetic.7 -
just imagine if they suddenly closed Hillsborough and you had to play your games at Bramell Lane - that's why we hate Palarse, as for the Spanners as you say only 5 miles away so yes we hate them as well, but for those of us that had to go there the Palarse feeling is special. We also shared with WetSpam for a while but they were quite pleasant about it and by then we hoped we were going home.4

The spanners' cup final is against us.2

Cheers, interesting hearing the stories.0

Depends on age doesn't it, under 35 you probably see Palace as the rivals, over that you see Millwall as the rivals.
upto a couple of years ago we hadn't played Millwall for nearly 20 years, whilst we had regular games against those stripey middle class wankers.1 -
Had a close shave at the old toolbox when I was a teenager in the mid sixties, hated the Spanners ever since as did my old man. Palarse by comparison are just an irritation to me but I can fully understand the ill feeling of others towards them following their cowardly attack on parents with their kids on a train to Selhurst.0

When you say they treated you like shit how do you mean? I went to SP twice both in 89 and 90' when you were already down and we won 2-1 (I think), a result that I thought saved us from the drop but it wasn't to be, then the season after when Sheridan scored a wonder goal to win 1-0.
My first visit back to the Valley came in a FA Cup game in the mid 90s.

I'm well over 35 but have to say when I was younger (20's and 30's) I'd say I hated Palace more then Millwall, now I'm kicking the arse of 50 I can't say I really hate either, just happy to see either of them get beat.Rothko said:Depends on age doesn't it, under 35 you probably see Palace as the rivals, over that you see Millwall as the rivals.

We have had this before on here and I commented then, I can only assume we have some very young members on here.
Charlton's dislike of Palace comes long before the days of ground share and I believe came around the time they started to talk like Billy big balls and with ex Charlton player Malcom Alison as their manager, along with his big hat, big cigar and big ego to match.
Whilst Millwall, although close rivals were like us supported by dockers whom in my early days would watch which ever team was at home that week.

I read a brilliant post (on here?) once likening Millwall to an underachieving older brother who's turned to thuggery as the only way he'll make a name for himself. Whilst Palace are the crigingly embarrassing cousin you wish you never had. I think that just about sums it up. I wish I could find the original.10

Palace are a bigger rival in my eyes, as has been said many times before Millwall provide a valuable service in our society where's I can think of no point to Palace whatsoever. I hate the stripey ones and pity Millwall.1

That's how I see it....it was Alison in the 70's that really got my back up with Palace.....remember the song....Alison, Alison shut your mouth......Ashaddick said:We have had this before on here and I commented then, I can only assume we have some very young members on here.

having to run the club from a portacabin for six years, them wanting to use the home dressing room and stands when we had the home fixture, allowing us the 'share' their club shop but not removing their merchandise and generally having the attitude that we 'owed' them for saving our club (which is boll*x)operationpig said:Goonerhater said:no ur not right ---Millwall will always be our rivals----palarse treated us like shit when we hd to share their shit hole , we paid that back by relegating them from the prem.

Do get a sense of who I see as our 'rivals'

Palace have always been more comparable to us on the pitch, whereas Millwall have generally been below Charlton in the league. West ham for the last 50 years have tended to be above Charlton, and the River Thames is a massive barrier to London rivalries
While I get great amusement from both teams losing, I can't really bring myself to hate them, most Palace fans I've met are actually very similar to Charlton fans, they have their idiot supporters, but so do we...-4 -

To me Millwall are our natural rivals in a dysfunctional younger brother sort of way, Palce are just bastards, because of the Selhurst years and because they believe they are better than they are .. something they would probably say about us.0
-
It's Millwall. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just wrong. There is "history" with Palace because of the Selhurst years but the true rivalry is Millwall. Our demographic overlaps much more than with Palace who without "the history" would be meaningless much like Watford or Brentford.2

I feel Millwall are a solid London club, like us. Palace are just cringe worthy. They're both rivals but I have more respect for Millwall and their London roots. Palace are just Surrey, middle class twats.6

Millwall cultivated an image of violence and intimidation which became self perpetuating - as every local thug and bully would declare themseves a Millwall fan and the Panorama documentary sealed their reputation.
Going to the old Den was never a pleasant experience for a Charlton fan.
Palace celebrated their Centenary the same year as us, and yet they spent the first 60 years in the 3rd and 4th division
In about 1965 they suddenly burst out of their anonymity with that gobshite twat Allison; stole Barcelona's kit and Benfica's nickname and basically haven't stopped gobbing off ever since.
Allison became the darling of local ITV football coverage, allowing him the oxygen of publicity and sealing their reputation as flash wannabe's.
The famous TV bet; Venables; team of the 80's (LOL); the indignity of ground "share"; Simon Jordan etc etc
I think you can tell which one gets under my skin7 -
Millwall our biggest rival. Palace are more of a joke.2
-
I dislike Millwall just out of local rivalry & that they represent the pathetic side of Football so called supporting IMO, although they do have some decent fans i will admit.
Palace is more personal for me due to a number of reasons, i just despise that club so much, i was taught to hate them by my Dad who went through the away from the Valley years and then my personal hatred was fueled by Simon Jordan who we all agree is a complete (insert your insult here). ;-)
