For those still attending - at what point will you stop going?

Don't. The only way these idiots will get the message is if everyone stops going.

I can't imagine me stopping unless there was no longer a team called Charlton Athletic playing in the borough of Greenwich

Did you stop going when they were at Selhurst or Upton Park? I didn't but i have stopped going now

I'm 31 - I started going when we were at Selhurst !

ok fair enough you were not old enough to understand at the time but you have watched them whilst we played our home games outside of Greenwich, I would now say that this is at bad as it has ever been and I went to every home game and most of the away games when we finished 14th in div 3 in 73 but I always had hope even in the seven years in exile thanks to things like "Voice of the Valley" which I first bought on a train to Nottm Forest.

Now I have no hope as I fear that the Belgian scumbags are up to something.

Today was the first football for a fiver I've ever missed. I've been quite a bit home and away this season but don't plan to go to another game until August now. This season was done and dusted a couple of weeks ago. Absolute monumental disaster that we're not even in contention for the playoffs when we're still only in Feb.

Haven't been home or away this season. Went to two early home games last season before starting my home boycott and then a few away. Don't blame people for still going but this no longer feels my club.

I couldn't make the last two games but I'll be back, however the truth is it's more about keeping in touch with mates - the football side has been so bad for so long it's almost irrelevant.

However you look at it we are in a real mess, I like to think there's enough in the squad to avoid serious trouble, but I worry that Robinson could send us into freefall; he's beginning to resemble Pardew when it started slipping through his fingers, random combinations thrown together hoping something will work.

Never

Can't go games like a few others at the moment. Pisses me right off the way the club is at this point. Hate the way fans are giving up but can't blame you after watching dire performances.
Keep the loyalty, dig in, we will rise again.
As for the powers that be ... we are here and we won't budge.
We will be here long after you have gone.

I said the same thing last season and ended up renewing but I can't take much more. The Valley has been a pretty poisonous place for years (even before the regime) and, as the team reaches new lows that I didn't think were possible, the toxicity is only going to get worse and I don't really want that negativity in my life. Also the "character building" line I spout when I drag my boy along every week is wearing thin!

Got baby number four due in August so that should be extra motivation to stay away.

What was poisonous about the Valley before this regime took over? Genuinely interested in that comment as I just don't see that. Had some crap seasons on a downward spiral but I personally always looked forward to the games and was gutted whenever we lost. Now I'm just gutted that I'm really starting to not give a shit, bit like our owners.

Don't disagree about caring more in previous years-judging by the comments on here, apathy has crept up on most of us since Roland danced into SE7.

Although poisonous might be a bit too strong, the Valley hasn't been a consistently happy place for a long time. Obviously nothing compares to how it has been over the last couple of seasons but people do seem to have rose tinted spectacles when they look back at certain eras. Until the last few months of that campaign, we had a terrible home record in the first season back in the Championship under Powell (the worst in the country at one point), we lost pretty much every game under Parky when he first took over and as for the Pardew years..... Even the last few years under Curbs in the Prem brought about a lot of moaning from the stands. Nothing on the same level as now and, as I said earlier, I'm not saying the fans are in the wrong as we've had to put up with a lot of rubbish but supporting your team should be a happy experience and, in the last 10 years save for a season and a half under Powell and parts of the play off season under Parky, it has been pretty much the opposite.

I gave up my boycott because I miss the place too much, and now just go to the odd game, home and away. No-one knows what will persuade Roland to sell, since no-one knows why he still owns us. I'll still support any efforts to persuade him to go, including next weekend's jaunt, but right now I'm not a boycotter, just one of those fans who is drifting away. Yesterday's performance was not a surprise, so nothing changes.

I wouldn't be going if I didn't feel the need to brainwash my kids
It's soooooo shit , atmosphere , team everything but it would break my heart if they wanted to support spurs/West Ham or Arsenal and that's who most support where they go to school and play footy in Essex .
