So who on here is going tonight to the dinner?
I'm looking forward to it and, whilst I've probably heard all the stories before, I'm still hopeful it's a good night in memory of a great occasion
I'll never forget being one of the lucky ones in there that day even if I did end up in the Jimmy Seed stand as it was. Just another part in the drama that is being a Charlton fan I guess......and I wouldn't change it for the world

My dad won a free ticket after my sister in law entered his details with reasons why - he did a lot to help the club back then and still lives and breaths it - my sister in law is going with him and she loves Yann so they should both have a great nightI Swisdom said:So who on here is going tonight to the dinner?

I can't help but read the above tweet in Alf Garnetts voice9

Was a good night surrounded by Legends!1

I finally got to thank Webbo in person for that 40-1 first goalscorer bet in the game against Southend at Upton Park.5

Might be worth celebrating when we actually own it again.1

I was there for no apparent reason, given I wasn't alive at the time. But I met some of my heroes and was utterly embarrassed, because I simply could not contain my glee!
A lovely night and very evocative. I have heard so much about the Battle for the Valley, and to be there in that room with so many of those who basically gave life to what I am privileged to experience now was nearly overwhelming at points.

That said - my only quibble would be the food - there was no real provision for those with vegan, or even vegetarian, requirements (I say this as an unapologetic meat eater). On four occasions (twice with a starter, and twice with the main) the staff attempted to serve the meat dish to the gentleman I was seated next to - a former member of this parish who is well known for their veganism. He took it well all things considered, but I was a bit appalled that in 2022, at a gala dinner, there was seemingly no plan in place for someone who is vegan. The dessert was of one option and it was dairy-based, while the replacement starter had clearly been hastily made up by the chef from constituent parts of the vegetarian option, in absence of a vegan option.
