Dark memories indeed. Hate to say it but that's a good feature on the link. Good job it was only 15 minutes on the 75 from Charlton (according to some prick at the Sub-Standard who seemed to think we were making a mountain out of a molehill).3

Remember saying to my dad,what the f--- is this all about.
To make it worse the last game at the Valley was on my birthday.1 -
I wish I had kept that sheet. I just threw it away in disgust, but it was part of our history. It was a terrible thing at teh time, but adversity galvanised us to build something special. It gives me hope for today. I wish the owner had a concept of what a force for good Charlton fans can be if you have them working with you.3

That 'Let them die' quote was from Mike Langley. Died a few years ago and is buried somewhere in Crewe. Fitting that such a cunt would be buried in an absolute cunt's ear of a town.pettgra said:

Great footage...the older addict looked like Rodney Trotter as he is now (just seen rehash of Goodnight Sweetheart). The Valley was Motty's first football found experience so personal for him. Prescient of Graham Hortop and his choice of tie colours.1

I remember him very well. Did he write in the Standard or the People or neither.Leroy Ambrose said:

Hope we banned him from the press box, but I suppose we were bigger than that.
I would have still banned him though!

Yes it was a sad day - but the joy of it being condemned to history 2632 days later on that glorious December day made us who we are today - a group of fans that will not take any crap without putting up a fight that we will win. If RD truly understood that he would sell tomorrow.7

It was a dark day, and believe me I think we may have worse to come, however we will win and these muppets will fuck off!
ROLAND OUT!!!1 -
Went to run on the pitch on the last game v Stoke but the police shut an opened gate on the old crumbling stand,another copper said to me if you make it to the next one before us you will get on.

Remeber the guy climbing the floodlight, I doubt that the current football days will ever be as bad as that. Not a pot to piss in, ground have closed we were bang in trouble.1

Selhurst Park is in excellent condition......my god it was a shithole and still is.5

A dark time indeed. But it was still my Charlton. When I see the smirk on KMs face I do not feel it's my Charlton. These are darker days.4

The move to Selhurst (and the things that led to that decision) set in motion the ticking clock that would see CAFC battle on a foreign field to achieve promotion and retention of First Division status. Club, manager, players and supporters felt as a unit, battling the odds. And then came The Valley Party and the countdown to December 5th 1992. Triumph through adversity.
Compare all that to the sacking of Chris Powell and the state of the club today, which is all the more upsetting in that much of what had been achieved was done away with. It's all very well saying a British manager has been appointed who has assembled a decent side. It's not what it was, and until Duchatelet goes, it never will be.1 -
It was shit but we made the most of it had some of my best moments following us back then0
