I preferred the “comfortable 4-0 home/away win” predictions on the match previews if we’re going for optimism…
The existence of this thread on Charlton Life isn’t going to make a blind bit of difference to what actually happens, obviously. But it still makes me uneasy that it’s up at all!
Maybe take the season out of the title and it’ll feel a bit better… then it could be countdown to an unspecified promotion at an unspecified date. :-)1 -

I'm sorry, I just find this weird.
What it could do is provide a great timeline to a fantastic season.0 -
What it could do is make you, and by association other Charlton fans / people on Charlton life, look like a complete and utter twat(s) if we are in 13th place in 6 weeks time having been thumped 0-4 at home to Birmingham/alfie may.up_the_valley said:

By all accounts, if we get promoted I'm the only one who can celebrate it.

It’s a bit of fun, don’t take things too seriously guys.
If anyone closes it Uppers, raise the stakes and immediately start a ****Countdown to Promotion to the Premier league 2025/26**** thread 👍3 -

He who laughs last, laughs longest
he who laughs after 2 weeks of the season… looks like a tit in front of the whole world on the next season of Wrexham til I die3 -
Who's laughing? Just being positive.paulsturgess said:He who laughs last, laughs longest

I too think it's arrogant. To argue it isn't means you don't know the word's definition.
Edit: Another word to look up: Embarrassing.
There's never been a thread in CL history I would want sunk more. For this reason I won't post on this thread again.

We’re 10% of the way towards being Champions of League one, only another 90% to go!0

Here's the deal. As to not tempt fate any further, nobody posts in this thread until the season is over. That way, we can't jinx it, and we also can't scare off a potential promotion by raising black sails and deleting the thread. We just let it lay dormant in the hopes of an 'I told you so' from up_the_valley.1

Well it's the 15th of April, and while @up_the_valley hasn't been proved right just yet, the positivity hasn't proved entirely unwarranted, so as promised I've re-opened the thread and given him a promote. At present, we're guaranteed at least the play-offs if we win on Friday, and automatic promotion is still technically possible, if admittedly unlikely. Birmingham are already promoted as Champions, Wrexham and Wycombe are guaranteed at least the play-offs, and if my sums are right it's technically possible for any of the teams as far down as Lincoln to sneak through, although it'd require a weird combination of results for that to happen I think.10

Didn't see this thread first time round in August but now its rather apt.
Although I dont like to think of promotion at this stage at least we have the play offs to look forward to this season.2 -
Every post on this thread decreases our chances of promotion by 5%.
Including this one.10 -

Sorry everyone, but as I opened this thread to read, I spilled a little bit of my coffee. I thought the fact that it scolded my leg would have offset that bit of bad luck, as I’d obviously experienced a double bit of bad luck, which as a double negative obviously means there will be some associated good luck to follow. But then I bloody dropped my phone too and I just think this thread combined with my triple bad luck means the thread needs to be closed again if we are going to have the slightest chance of being promoted. Apologies again especially to the coach and players.3

I’ll stick with odds of one in four of going up. It still a lot better than we thought before Christmas.2
-
Just remember, Charlton never do things the easy way.1

Three points Friday, and we are up and running, I think we will be fine in the playoff's...yep our chances of promotion are def on the plus side...🙏1

I stand by my original comment.cantersaddick said:Ohhh fuck off. Not this.
Tempting fate. Always a terrible idea.2 -
Are we still up for this... ? Show some passion, some positivity, and enjoy whilst it lasts. All this bad luck bullshit is ridiculous and causes arguments between the fan base.
If i text someone saying well get promoted, would that mean we won't........ or is it just here on CL that the jinx exists?1 -

It's really quite simple - we win our final three matches and Wycombe draw both or lose one and Wrexham draw just one of their respective other two games and we're promoted!!!!8
