Charlton Coasters

No, I’m not talking about the players taking it easy over the Christmas period.

I received these as a Christmas gift from the mother in law yesterday, but the matches are a bit before my time. Does anyone have any insight into the significance of the matches chosen? I also have a “football history through newspaper headlines” book and couldn’t find any of them in there...

Even if they’re just random matches it’s still a nice gift - she always gets me something Charlton related!
‘Boro - 12th Sep 1953
Leyton Orient - 28th Dec 1964

    Probably just random matches. It's one use for old programmes nobody seems to want anymore.

    Random quiz questions based on those four coasters:

    Top left - name the players in the picture (3 points) 
    Bottom left - name the starting line up for that game (11 points)
    Bottom right - name the player, the clubs he played for after leaving charlton, his occupation after retiring from football and his favourite brand of lawnmower (20 points)
    Top right - name every member of the crowd at the game the picture was taken (50,000 points)

    Chelsea game was one of the most frightening. I was only a kid.
    Chelsea fans set fires in the Covered End, fires in the South Stand.
    Harvey Gardens turnstiles demolished & Valley Club smashed up.
    Oh and we thumped them 4-0 in front of 30,000.
    I've always hated Chelsea with a passion ever since, absolute scum.

    If you google it, there are other useful links as well.

    I was on the terrace between the Covered End and the stand.
    Being only 11 at the time I don't recall the trouble after the game, I can only assume I left early.

    Me and my dad made a sharp exit via the Sam Bartram/Lansdowne Lane route.

    Which was still open in October when I last went there. They’ve got loads of football and music related ones on sale. I often treat myself to one when we go.

    I have made coasters before to sell in the shop - they are probably done using special sublimation coasters. Basically you print whatever you want onto sublimation paper with special inks and heat press any picture onto the coaster.

    The entire ground was dismantled.
