    been done before and apart from a few who said they'd go and watch dartford, most said they'd stick with charlton - and rightly so!

    not worth discussing fella as the thought of supporting anyone else is an alien concept, regardless of where we are.

    I've watched us in the 3rd division before in the seventies and early eighties so it is nothing new.

    I had hoped we would be good enough to avoid it again in my lifetime at least.

    Support another team!?!?!?!?

    Not a chance, I wouldn't even comprehend supporting another team if we went bust. CTID.

    It's actually not a bad point Dazzler.

    I couldn't even dream of supporting anyone else - even though my mum's fella is trying to get me to White Hart Lane and is threatening to buy me a Spurs shirt for Christmas.

    But I wonder how many of the plastics would stick around for League 1 football.
    The ones who have only know Premiership football.

    No way, at least there'll be a few more new grounds to visit.

    I'm a relative new comer to Charlton, I got my first season ticket when we were in the Premiership.

    But now I'll stick by them even if we end up playing non-league football.

    Sometimes "plastics" can become hooked and become life long fans.

    It happened to me anyway.

    It's in the blood so no question. Been through bad, terrible and good in almost 40 years.

    Doubt I'd buy a Season Tkt though, and realistically would probably play a bit more golf on a sat.

    Anyway keep the faith, we won't go down.

    If we dropped another league???? I'm considering not bothering now!!!! That 2hr journey home on Sat was the longest of my life, especially with two Sheff Utd in the car. Although the news when I got home cheered up me somewhat. I'd never support another club, but my attendance for games would drop.

    How could anyone ever start supporting another team???

    Not go anymore maybe, but supporting someone else is a bit ridiculous, unless you are a Tory MP or write a shit column in The Sun maybe.

    Even if we were in the Kent senior league i would still follow the addicks.. with work i have been given tickets for the gunners and spurs and chelsea as long as it never classes with the valley there is no harm in a bit of corprate hospitatiality and i always have my cafc pin on my jacket just so everone knows... ;-) Would be good in a way to drop down down and get rid of the plastics, but sadly we have a premiere league stadium and could not keep it going with crowds of 5000 like the old days.League one would mean adminstration and all that comes with it, we could end up like oxford.

    Even if we went bust, would not go anywhere in the pro league in England, Glasgow Rangers a few times a season and a few more England games than I do now, and the odd visit to Dartford/Ebbsfleet as long as they remained at current levels or big cup matches.

    Everyone always says they will follow through thick or thin, however attendances prove otherwise, and will continue to do so next season.

    I would still be at the Valley but would decide on my season ticket when I know the prices. TBH it may become easier for me to buy game by game with my children starting to show an interest

    No.

    We've been there before in the 70's and early 80's.

    Never stopped me watching us get dicked at Aldershit and Halifax.

    Stop going / support another team? - Not a chance - Division 3 (again) - bring it on (but only if we have to ;)

    Things are grim for us but they could be worse.

    Margate face going into administration which will mean a 10 point deduction for a struggling side and almost certain relegation to Ryman South which could well be the final death knell. Scarborough went a year or so back.

    Rochdale have played 4th division football for 35 years.

    No. IF and IF we go down I'll be happy watching CAFC against the minows of Hartlepool and Yeovil. I know this may sound strange but despite the league position we are in I'm still enjoying it. And IF we manage to pull out of the relegation zone, it makes for a much better season than last having been in the play offs for most of the season only to see the side slip in the last few months.

    Diehards will in the main say one thing, but the actuality is that around 7,000 to 10,000 fans would disappear..
