The only English teams I’ll ever back are the non-typical big 6 teams (ie - Villa, Newcastle).Gribbo said:Question for the people who always back English teams in Europe; will you be backing the Nigels?
For me, they've just joined Arsenal as the only two teams, who I'll back foreign opposition.That said, I’ll want Palace to get ruthlessly destroyed in the group stage.Clubs like Chelsea, Man United I don’t see any reason to back. Largely foreign players, foreign fanbases and clubs that seemingly resent being part of the English football pyramid.4 -

Did you start coming to Charlton because of the Valley Express 🤔ME14addick said:I'm not going to let my weekend be spoilt because a football team, that has nothing to do with me, has won the FA Cup. Charlton have reached the play off final, rejoice in that and don't let the fact that another club has won a cup dampen your spirit.
The idea that because you support a certain football team you must hate another seems weird to me. I have no reason to hate Palace or Millwall, when both play in a different league.
The magic of the FA Cup is that every so often, a story is created when an underdog beats one of the giants.2 -
I started like many others, my Dad took me to Charlton in the 70s when I was a teenager.Woodwork said:

I had a customer from the Bromley area who was an Arsenal fan, as were his sons. For years though he had a season ticket for him and his three sons at the Valley during your PL days. He just got them so he could watch cheap live PL football on a regular basis. I don’t think he’s been back since you got relegated.soapboxsam said:JamesSeed said:
Sam, it’s not just about tribalism. I have friends who decided to become palace fans two or three years ago.

They have 7 chips on one shoulder about Palace and 7 chips on the other shoulder about Millwall.
A week before a 50/50 match in getting Charlton Athletic back to their home land of the Championship and the 2nd tier, they are focused on Palace who left Charlton behind long ago. The League cup game when we lost 4-1 with our 1st team against their reserves was when we waved goodbye in their tatty old stadium. The last close game was the 2-1 lost when Glenn Murray scored twice after Ben Hamer's slip.
I took that loss badly as 1-0 up at HT and JJ should have buried his header to go 2 up 🤦🏻♂️
Palace have a hybrid fan base with more ethnic groups than I see at Charlton. I'm not talking about ground hoppers or Football tourists. Many of their supporters live in Surrey but Thornton heath is very diverse as well as West Croydon where English isn't spoken very often.
Because of my Bermondsey roots I suffered more if we lost to Millwall because in many of those games we were higher in the table FFS.
Tribal rivalry is an ancient feral state and Charlton should probably focus on Millwall our nearest rival, IF and when we reached the promised land of the 2nd tier as opposed to a Premier team, with an FA cup win and European football next season.
Jealousy eats you up as I know with my hatred of Chelsea ! 😤The one thing I’ve had to counter their jibes was the fact that we’d actually won a major trophy and they hadn’t. Of course It should be water off a duck’s back, I know, but it does rile me up. They have no understanding of the history of the game. To them it’s all about the Premier League. I guarantee if palace were relegated they’d soon lose interest.
When Charlton reached the Premier League, we had new fans as well. Staying with my parents one weekend in Canterbury I got the coach up from the Victoria Pub. One 'fan' was a recently retired weather man on Meridian; he knew all the current players TBF.
Despite his age I knew he was a newbie as when I compared a player to John Humphrey's he didn't know who I was talking about ! Johnny H !
It would be like a fan not knowing about the late great Jimmy Seed.
If Palace were ever relegated they would lose 'fans' like we did and the odious Chelsea did back in the day.

Obviously these sort of fans were in a minority at the time, but it was probably a sizeable minority. I’ve heard other similar accountsMillwallFan said:

Most football fans dread their rivals doing well.
Arsenal fans, however much they dislike Man U, will be desperate for Man U to beat Spurs on Wednesday, to stop Spurs winning something and reach the Champions League.
Spurs fans will have cheered on PSG as they beat Arsenal.
The Leicester fans last week were ecstatic at their last minute equaliser last week against Forest, as it massively dented Forest's chance of reaching the Champions League.0 -

If terrible Spurs and Man U sides can get to the final, i worry that Palace could actually progress quite far in it. Being in Europe will also help them to sign better players and they will definitely need to make a few signings because whilst they have a decent enough first XI, they don't have a squad that's going to be able to compete in multiple trophies.cafctom said:

You not counting the Football League Trophy, mate? They won it when top flight teams entered, so Rothman’s count it as a ‘major’ trophy 🙃😘DOUCHER said:As i said previously, palace doing well is of miniscule importance compared to millwall doing well as palace is not something that happens in my world - they are over there and only became of real relevance when we had to ground share. The silver lining to us losing our status as the only major trophy winners south of the river is that millwall now become the only team not to have won a major trophy and puts them firmly into the loser bin. It's better how it was but its something and something i'm happy to remind millwall about
Also… if we are talking ‘south’ London as a whole, Clapham, Chelsea and the old Wimbledon have all won it too tbf.If you only count SE London, Charlton Athletic are still the only SE London club to win it.0 -
Frustratingly means they're more likely to be able to keep their better players too.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

I've got a cousin (estranged) who was exactly the same. Went Premier League years and was full on plastic Charlton, then reverted back to Arsenal. Don't think gives Charlton the time if day anymore. At least that's how it was last time we spokeMillwallFan said:

My customer never stopped being an Arsenal fan though. He literally just went to The Valley to watch a bit of cheap live PL football.Gribbo said:

And your lot have thousands upon thousands who associate themselves with the club purely because of the historic reputation and have either never been to a game in their lives or else only turn up for the big games or when there's a chance it will go off.MillwallFan said:

As we've seen in the last couple of years though, newly promoted sides struggle to even get to 30 points now, so Palace would require a serious meltdown to end up in any relegation trouble.ElfsborgAddick said:Hopefully the European games will get in their way and harm their league position.2 -
The way English football is now, any London club could fill a 40,000 capacity stadium.
If Bromley were plonked into the PL and given a 40,000 stadium and had reasonable ticket prices, they’d sell-out most games with floating Arsenal, Chelsea etc fans, tourists, locals wanting to watch live PL football.I am surprised Palace aren’t looking to build a new stadium tbh. Selhurst Park is hardly a historic & charismatic old ground. It’s holding them back. If they built a new 45,000 capacity stadium somewhere else, they’d fill it. Maybe only a lack of suitable sites stopping them?0 -

Imagine being a European side, you're finally in Europe.
You get a draw against a team from the English Premier League, its Crystal Palace, not generally known by the wide European community, but you get a ticket because its a chance to visit a Premier League stadium... and its f**king Selhurst Park!!
Their entry into the Europa League should be revoked their entry, purely on the grounds that they'll give the Premier League a bad name, and bring the League into disrepute!!2 -
How does Charlton resurrect this rather shit situation.
We get promoted.
Instantly drawn into the fa cup 3rd round.
We cause an upset, maybe even knock palace out....then we surprisingly reach the QF, bit of luck on our side. Next thing we know, we are in the cup final and we bloody win it in 2026
Shrug our shoulders and casually say yeh we won the FA cup, I know palace did last season but so what - we did it.
Then the likes of Susana Reid has a casual sexy angry devastated look on her face the following morning when presenting Good morning Britain!3 -

And before I get accused of being a Palace fan, as well as Millwall, I just like my football history & reading about football developments! Ie a football geek. 🙄3
