Quotes from the Charlton no life forum

[Wippa]

Our home game after the 1999 auto windscreen wiper was a real shocker. 45,000 at Wembley and I was thinking the Den will be rammed next home game, how wrong was I. Well disappointing.

6000 v Preston, with 750 Preston fans

That rings a bell

Difference being their fans thinking they are a big club that should be back in the top division. Every club will sell more tickets than normal for a big game, it's when fans use the situation to say that it proves how big the club is when the past has shown it to be untrue.

I think I would die laughing if Orient went on a blinding run, got to the prem as the vermin get relegated.

I think I would die laughing if Orient went on a blinding run, got to the prem as the vermin get relegated.

In a cruel but ideal world the spotters go one up after 2 minutes lead for 89 minutes only for Orient to score twice in the 97th minute.

Got to hope that the fixtures are kind to us, if we are away to the anoraks in April, they could already be relegated and we can switch around, they can have the away end.

We have had that discussion on here before and I think we held the old Wembley record but have forgotten about new Wembley.

I suspect the unofficial, but not known precisely, record would be West Ham or Bolton in the 1923 FA Cup Final.

Official attendance 126,047, although the actual figure is thought to be circa 300,000

Did you get a decent view of the game?
Can you remember if it was a good match? You must have been very young then.
