There aren't many in football who don't realise the importance of the crowd, but for anyone wanting proof - have a look at us yesterday!
The fans were phenomenal. Best atmosphere since Sheff Utd away when we last went up from League One.
I wonder if anyone else agrees that the poorest phase of the game was reflected in our support - the first 5 or 10 mins of the second half.
The crowd felt a little nervous as we knew Pompey would come out fighting. They did (and a change of players / formation as well). So we were a little flat, a little nervous.
Ajose, for all his faults asked us to up the tempo again when we won a corner. We responded and went back to how we were in the first half - constant singing. We didn't stop til way after the final whistle!
Interesting that even we as fans got a little edgy and it showed in the play. And definitely something for us to learn, lets not take our foot of the gas as fans!6 -
I’ve stayed down as well, though didn’t buy a suit. Or any bread. Shocking weather yesterday evening.The31YearMan said:Have made a weekend of it. Left the family at Gun Wharf and did a Shanks pony to the ground stopping off at the Fratton for a pre match meal.
Fantastic Charlton atmosphere created. Amos, Bauer and Pearce were immense. So pleased for Ajose for getting that monkey off his back. Concerned about injuries to Fosu and Page but maybe now is the time for others to step up to the plate.
Walked back to Gun Wharf with a spring in my step and bought myself a suit as you do.
Took on the President's recommendation and had a nice evening at Port Solent.
Back at the hotel, forced to change rooms as water was coming in due to the thunderstorms that hit the South Coast last night.
Just been to HMS Victory, which seemed extra appropriate!2 -
Every now and then, sometimes not even once a season, could be every two, three or five years, you have an away day that you’ll talk about for years to come that makes you remember why you bother with Football altogether.
Brilliant day start to finish, the pubs before, walking to the ground, in the ground, the performance, the noise, brilliant all round day, up the addicks.3 -
What a day , what a win , what an atmosphere ( in the away end anyway ) . Perfect day . Let's get a good crowd for Blackburn to help push us over the line .0

Not fishing for an argument, but 2500 addicks standing much much much > 2500 addicks sitting, is what made the atmosphere, hats off to the oldies and the kids who stood!7

As someone who lives closer to Pompey than any other team, beating them at their place is so important. The atmosphere was the best I can remember since we played Oldham away in the year we went up with Powell... we were promoted the game after..... can we make the play-offs next weekend??0

He's saying, in a very long winded way, it wouldn't have been the same if we'd been sitting down and I agree with him.Covered_End_Lad said:

A quick question - who appointed Bow and Jacko and who is funding the losses?oohaahmortimer said:Postingwithout being able to see
Massive win been out since 3.30pm for a mates (Man Utd fan) wife’s 52nd , we went up town and his 17 year old son had gone down to Pompey with a Charlton mate and I’m working on brainwashing him , he’s Man Utd but with massive leanings to our freak show.
I’ve fancied us to make the play off final since I worked out the amount of agro it will cause me cancelling and re jiggling flights to barbados during half term for the final .
Fuck that who cares the reds are going up
E I e I e i o up the football league we go
Have no idea about the game and don’t care the result was massive
70% play offs
100% fuck off Roland you bellend
Any guarantees that the new potential owners will be preapared to fund EFL Championship losses that appear to be far greater than tier 3 losses?

Why would anyone unable or unwilling to fund those losses want to spend £40 million on Charlton? If you just wanted a league One team and nothing more then I imagine you could spend a lot less money on a smaller club with far lower overheads.JonnyK said:

The only reason to buy Charlton, other than really wanting a London club, is that it is ready for Premier football without having to spend fortunes on the stadium and training facilities, with a know crowd size/ fan base when in the premier league.
If you don't want to challenge for the premier league there is literally no case for buying Charlton.10 -
Charlton’s 2016/17 operating loss in L1 was much worse than their losses in the Championship.JonnyK said:

Concerning Nicky Arose.
On the players' marks thread, he's been getting a lot of 7.5-ish scores which I think underrates what he did on Saturday. He was working all the time to try to find space, pulling their defenders hither and yon, looking to see where Mag was likely to put a flick on so he'd be there to collect it, which is exactly what lead to the goal.8 -

Yes Rolands astute running of our club has led to this magnificent position of nearly finishing in the League One play offs , his brilliant football brain hunted down Bowyer , his long chats with him and discussions led to Bowyer being lured to our club and I’m sure Jacko would never still be here without the calming voice of experience that is our magnificent el presidente who steered him in to this coaching role , as we laugh at how shit palace and millwall are doing .
Oh he has money so let’s be so grateful for his failed experiment, no matter how bad it has been and destroyed our clubs support and thankfully you have clocked he has money and is willing to fund these losses , let’s be deferential to him of the huge wallet and no interest in Charlton .
Why would anyone buy a football club and not see a game for 3.5 years.
Maybe cos they are unique .
In the name of Sir Chris Powell , Lord Curbs and King James Seed may your sins be forgiven .

Plenty of weird owners out there seemingly unwilling to run their clubs with any ambition but equally unwilling to sell up, at least for any sensible price. The Coventry lot being one example, other than Roland. The Oystons are another. Pompey went through 3 or 4 crappy owners in a period of a few years.randy andy said:

Not suggesting for a second we shouldn't try something new, but it'd be foolish not to realize that new owners aren't automatically going to be an improvement on Roland, even if they'll have to go some to be worse.

A major result and probably the greatest collective vocal performance by a set of charlton fans ever and people want to change the thread to being all about Roland and a takeover. It beggars belief.1

Typical though of an 'uncool' regime sympathiser and apologist not averse to hit and run wind up tactics.3

Brilliant result and fantastic support my son is still buzzing about it so nothing can take away from the day @letthegoodtimesroll cant wait for Blackburn now, had a very shitty week on the home front so the football is a real lifeline for us all at the moment as we are a Charlton family.
Cant let @JonnyK bullshit go unchecked however. For the record when you first peddled this bollocks in August last year with 'I may be wrong but...' yes you are Duchatalet is a c@nt, your Roland is a Wanka rhyme is also bollocks and in answer to your 'quick question' its either
the best long game woosh in history, in which case I bow at being in the presence of someone carrying such a brilliant mind and rapier like wit, or your just being a twat.17 -

Sorry Soapbox, it doesn't work as rhyming slang. Needs to be a word that precedes a word that rhymes with given.soapboxsam said:One game at a time sweet cliche.
Superb day out for Cafc fans yesterday and great mentality by the players.
As the Wimbledon and Scunthorpe games should prove, nothing is a shay. (given)
Amos has been excellent for most of the season with a different defence in front of him every week and was immense again.
It is such a shame that Fosu is the new sicknote, though he has competition with Page and Stephy.
50/50 for me now if we make playoffs, Blackburn want to be champs and Rochdale want to stay up.

Well judging from the noise throughout, euphoric applauds at full time, away fans off all ages with smiles on their faces I’d guess myself and another 2400 or so was alright too.clb74 said:

Totally agree with lardiman,no excuses,get down to the valley on saturday'0

An excellent performance from Nicky, perhaps at last he feels a manager and formation will appreciate it style of play and it’s eeked out that extra bit of quality that made him what he was at Swindon.AddicksAddict said:Concerning Nicky Arose.

I also think Kashi is slightly underrated on the player marks. The amount of times the ball was bouncing in and around the middle of the park and he stuck his head or body in and won back possession, then would lay passes out wide to get us going again was countless. He and JFC really get us higher up the pitch and they both playing well will be crucial if we get to the playoffs.5
