What an incredible few days, a real father and son moment when that winner went in - something he’ll tell his grandkids...highlight was meeting so many old friends, some I havent seen in 15 years. Was great to meet @Can-addick & looking forward to seeing @Exiled_Addick as we jet back to Calgary on Tuesday. A real emotional day & I just pray now that Duchatalatet sells and fecks off.
one mre thing
Lee Lee Lee Bowyer - an absolute legend, love him - up there with Lennie, Curbs & Powell.9 -
I could pick out a number of players, but wanted to say Purrington had a great game and Parker was excellent, especially in the closing stages. Unsing heroes!17

3-0 at Wembley. Only 2 shots on target too.
Goals all from defence.6 -
One of those only those that support a club that doesn't routinely win things can understand. In shock for 10 mins after the Sarr/Phillips goal but we grew into the game and they all did something superb today. What a surprisingly brilliant leader Bowyer is and like Lyle said I hope we get the result we want during the summer. Load of man hugs off people I don't know even shock Headphones Norms hand as we were coming out. Sunderland fans classy.5

I'm bloody knackered now and I've lost my voice. What a day!!0

Amazing day. I was fully preparing myself for extra time, but the BFG turned it around!!!To the day tripper behind me, never come back again. You don't deserve to see this club.0

What a day!
Ran into some old school friend I had not seen for 40 years. He dropped his drink and dinner in shock. Loads more there is well. Fantastic day, but to think we have always been there at the ground, but in separate parts.
Walked back up Wembley (Olympic) Way next to Gary Nelson. Love it that an ex player bothers - and goes with fans. Good lad! It just shows what a club we are.
Nephew I took as a kid and did today, sent ma a message “ In 98 I was too young to understand what it is really means to be a Charlton fan, today I fully understand”.13 -

Never in doubt even after the bizarre own goal. Fucking hell, absolute scenes, still on my way home!0

We wanted it more.
The board goes up for the extra four minutes and we didn't worry about 'game management', we went for it.
Whatever Bowyer says and does with this lot they play for him, and he demands the positive effort and endurance they give him. He has been almost faultless in his calls, and how he has coped with everything.
Us getting promoted has been a stunning achievement, where willpower has featured a lot.
We are up, the future is uncertain, but as Bowyer would say
IT IS WHAT IT IS.11 -
I didn't think we'd win today. I certainly didn't think we'd win after the first 5 minutes. I am pleased to confirm I know cock all about football!!8

Really looking forward to next season now. It's been enjoyable going to some of the smaller L1 clubs, but next season we have trips to Leeds, WBA, Forest, Villa or Derby, Boro, Fulham etc to look forward to3

My sixteen old daughter virtually passed out in that tube ..... driver was a total bellendHartleypete said:
We were on that, the train driver was mad.hawksmoor said:Even the tube from hell afterward couldn’t spoil the occasion. This was the train that stopped on the tracks for over half-hour because someone leaning on the door set off the emergency brake.
anyway just got in don't really believe what happened today, just magical, fucking magical.1 -
PWR - YOU FARKING BEAUTIFUL ADDICKS!!!!2

Felt pre match we would win 2-0 and that’s what it should have been bar the bizarre own goal. I don’t they they really troubled us and we had to be cunning to carve those chances. Bowyer, what an achievement, let’s hope RD doesn’t fuck it up now contract wise.0

What a day, couldn’t speak before hand was so tense, couldn’t speak after, no voice.0

Mate. I wore same pants as I did in 98!! Slightly perished but we won.killerandflash said:Wore the same pants as per both Doncaster matches AND wore my 1998 playoff scarf, so you can thank me for the win. The scarf has been put into storage until the next time we play Sunderland in the playoffs!4 -
Surely you're not going to "read through all this shit" mate coz you're indoctrinated into "PWR"!Fumbluff said:PWR, just got on the tube, that took forever, almost as long as reading through all this shit will take later....

That own goal and latest of late winners were possibly the worst and best single moments in all my 30+ years following this club.
Like many on here, I have never gone as mental at a match as I did today. Hugging total strangers, high fiving the wheel chair section and screaming myself hoarse.
Very nearly let logic win and stayed at home to watch on the TV. So glad I decided it’s only money and booked my trip over here. One of the very best days of my life.
Bumped into a Sunderland fan in the pub by my hotel. His words “fair play and congratulations, your fans were unreal” and we were. Outsold them and outsung them. Best I’ve ever heard from us. Showed the world what a big club we really are, even if we’re so often overlooked from the outside.
As for the match, we had a horrible wobble after the OG, but once we got through that we were the better side. Thought we started to look leggy at the end, but this team, just like in 98, just does not know when to give up.
A comfy 3-0 would’ve been easier on the ticker, but what a way to win it. This club always finds a way to ratchet up the stress but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Allez, allez, allez!!!23 -
Not long been in, had a few, so excuse any poor typing...
Two defining moments. 1-0 down, and Sunderland start time wasting after 10 minutes. Ref gives Charlton a free kick, just as the ball is cleared from our area. Ball falls to a Sunderland player, who decides to waste time by doing some "keepy ups". Darren Pratley takes charge. Walks over to the Sunderland player. Twats him. Takes ball away. That's taking charge!
After Jonny Williams came on, his first 3 runs lead to fouls and yellow cards. After that Sunderland defenders cries of " Shit! Here he comes again!" practically ring around a packed Wembley.
Winning goal was officially 6 seconds, and 3 touches before the final whistle.
Chuffed doesn't do it justice...

Magnificent! That's all.
In the cold light of day 1998 probably ranks above it given the higher level but against all the odds Bowyer, Jackson and the team have managed to get us promoted and I was delighted to be there with some of my family.
Please grasp this second chance Duchatelet and get the management team signed up along with the key players. Bowyer, Jackson and Gallen will tell you who they are.
Good to meet @Carter again and @sadiejane1981 for the first time on the coach.
A tincture or two has been consumed can't write anything else sensible right now.

Just got home after a long and memorable day. Drained isn’t the word - from the depths of an inexplicable and potentially disastrous own goal, to a steady recovery that got us back on terms at half time, followed by a second half that looked as though it was petering out to the inevitable extra time until the BFG wrote himself into the Charlton history books.
Just for for this afternoon at least, 38,000 Addicks put any differences over the chub’s ownership to one side and came together as one community - a reminder of what the club once was and could be again given a decent owner with vision and interest.
A fantastic day, an emotional day and a very drink-fuelled evening. Lee Bowyer and the players did the business on the pitch and the support certainly helped bring it home.
I’m not sober enough to say anything more eloquent right now but what a bloody day!
Thanks to @Simonsen for sorting the tickets and arranging the pre-match activities - great company with the lads today!6
