I think our uneducated Gavin has crawled out from Rolling Mists camp! (you can keep him on your side as well)
Only 1 1/2hours to supper, then another 1/2 an hour until your bed time read. |

Charlton fans seem to have remarkably short memories. Few remember the gates they got a mere three seasons ago or the results. I guess most haven't supported that long.

Oisin, 3 years ago we averaged 14,000 as the ground only held 15,000 !
Since the return, we've basically hit or just been under capacity every season. Our club will make a big thing of selling out 18,000 season tickets instantly, but for me the big sign of loyalty and of a club heading the right direction was the fact we sold 16,000 season tickets within 6 weeks of being relegated. You can't call them supporters watching the likes of Tranmere, Grimsby and Crewe glory hunters, can you ? There was no guarantee of success, ask Blackburn or Forest fans, clubs with a much higher pedigree than ours. I know your club is a laughing stock at the moment, and if you swallowed your pride, in the rebuilding of your club you have a prime example on your doorstep of the success a smaller club can have when run by the right people and marketed properly. |

I thought the average was 12,000 and something. In fact that's what one of the Charlton posters here said (and it's closer to what I remember). What have ben the averages since the return to the Valley then?

Typical that clown fans have to give us total cr@p about their embarrasingly low gates up to their time in the Premier'.cafc struggled to get more than 12,000 adverage(and it was often far lower) until their promotion to the top division.
Coke Addick your right that charlton is an example of a club that after being run the right way has become successful, I don't think anyone on this page would deny that. However your still charlton, your still a club with no rivals, your still a club who's fans sing "We are charlton from valley" how sad, and Palace whether you like it or not couldn't give a stuff about you. So we hate Brighton! [This message has been edited by ajp (edited 01 July 2000).] |

Interesting table Oisin, and i'm not suprised how low we are, considering it wasn't till about 95 / 96 that our ground only held 8,337 !!!
With clever marketing and the acceptability of being a Charlton supporter in the main catchment areas, the foundations of our support has been laid for many years to come. You can throw loyalty jibes at our way, but if you moved to Gillingham for 5 years, you would see how quickly your own support would disappear. As for the not hating us blah blah, we generally don't care whether you like us or not. I don't particularly like homosexuals, but i don't really care what they think of me !!! I can understand why it is virtually a one sided rivalry (although sentiments among some Palarse fans is changing in recent years). If the situation was reversed 15 years ago, our feelings towards each other would be the complete opposite to what they are now. I think you would agree with that as well. |

Anyone who has read Marx's work on the hostility between landlord and tenant will understand why Charlton (and Wimbledon) have a grudge against the Palace. Anything recipricated is just reacting to that hostiliy.
Don't try and excuse attendences. There were very few sell outs during that period. Charlton have **** loads of glory hunters just like we did a few years ago. |

Coke Addick. A few things that need clearing up here, I think. If Palace did move to Gillingham our attendences would of course drop. However weren't clownton on about 3,000 at Selhurst when you squatted at our place, we'd never go down that low in gates, never ever and you know it.
Secondly your speaking yet more rubbish to say that you don't care if we hate you or not, why are you coming on this Palace BBS then? I would of thought that if you really didn't care then you'd be spending time on your own pages talking about your season in the Premiership to come, but no your still ranting on and on, on this page aren't you! The fact is that cafc have spent the last 15 years with a massive grudge against Palace. All those flags with we hate Palace written on them which your tiny away supports used to drap over the empty seats at away grounds, or didn't you go then? Or that 'wheels on the bus song which you sing, which is a disgrace.(so much for your being a family club) Or those trips to valley when we came out of the ground and faced verbel abuse from your lot. You clearly do care if we hate you and so don't try and turn things around here. Finally if our fans our getting p!ssed off with you then it's not suprising is it the amount of abuse we are given. Go and start being rivals with Wimbledon or some other non-entity side you can identify with. |

strange,
i always thought we sang "We are Charlton, Covered End", not "From Valley". Palarse fans trying to sing our songs and getting the words wrong.....whatever next. Did you hear the words to "We'll never play you again" correctly? |

So, just the 1 and 1/3 MILLION more people have watched Palace than Charlton over that period then.........
