    Brings a lump to your throat.

    I cannot thank those who were involved in ensuring the return to The Valley enough for all that they did, just as I cannot thank enough those who have worked so hard to remove the curse of the current regime.

    Hopefully a similar feeling of elation is not too far away.

    Is it really 25 years ago, seems like yesterday.

    A day I still remember vividly.

    My two brothers Danny and Alex, both Valley Party candidates, plus Derek Woolley and Steve Reader, Valley Party organisers plus another helper Alan Lewis in the Royal Oak before the game. Proud of what you did.

    No matter where we roam,
    The valley is our home.

    Good to see my next door neighbour Steve Reader in that photo.

    Still the greatest day of my life. The second greatest will be the day RD is gone.

    Whatever happens, I will always love the Valley. And I will always treasure the 2016 CARD advent calendar. Top work by the genius that is @Nug

    Clearly I'm not very good at this.

    Anyway, Colin was chuffed someone had remembered his special minute in history and is looking forward to the celebration on Saturday.

    There are five extremely happy days in my life, all of which I can remember vividly and all of which bring a tear to my eye. The day I met Ms AA, the day we were married, the day our son was born, 4-4 then 7-6 at Wembley, and it doesn't take a genius to work out the fifth. The main thing Ms AA remembers from that day is me being extremely emotional (code for blubbing my eyes out).

    Special day! Nug, you genius, that calendar was amazing. Last year, I looked for the next window every day like a big kid! Thanks.

    Watching that video sums up perfectly what this club means to all of us.
    Despite you're best efforts Roland we are still here waiting for you to go so that we can again feel a proper connection with everything Charlton means to us.

    Just sell the club

    Think I've shared my memories of the day on here before, but I'll try and dig out a picture of my 10 year old self and the old man taken at the ground on the big day.

    In the meantime, happy back to the valley day everyone.

    Am I right in thinking we have never lost a game on 5th Dec since 1992? Wonder if that will continue tonight in the Checkatrade, and does that competition even count if the record doesn't continue?

    Happy Back to The Valley day, not sure where the 25 years have gone.
    Let's hope Roland leaves soon and those including me can back to doing what we all love.
    Following Charlton, my favorite team.
