  • I didn't even know we were playing 😂. Im guessing that answers your question?

    we are through to the knock out stages of the cup competition that was named after a pizza last year and something else this year. What a time to be a Charlton supporter

    Yep. The first Elizabeth Line derby. Historic! 
  • Undecided 🤥
  • No chance. I'm still not over that limp surrender on Saturday and may not be for some time.
    I shall probably be binge watching Fear of the Walking Dead with my wife, rather than watching the walking dead play Reading

    I mean at least you'll get to know every supporter there by name. And probably life story.
  • I am going to the pantomime tonight... No, not the game.

    Seriously, can I use my freedom pass to get to Reading on the Liz line? 

    Edit: you can’t use it between West Drayton and Reading

    No for whatever reason a Freedom Pass can be used all the way to Reading. An over 60 Oyster only out to West Drayton.

    This obviously opens up cheap travel to the South West, Bristol Rovers, Swindon, Cheltenham, etc Only paying from Reading……. For us old uns.

    First ever Elizabeth Derby, proud not to be going.

    Something you get that gives you free travel if you are old enough to have seen Wright, Curtis, Kinsey, Campbell, Went, Reeves, Gregory, Treacy, Tees, Moore , Peacock in real life!
