Reading have contacted every championship club telling them they will sell away tickets for a score if the other clubs do the same. Cardiff, Blackburn, Swansea & Huddersfield have signed up to it so far
Old place used to get a bit lively with the local rude boysNice gesture but not for me. One of the most boring and souless shitholes/ days out you can have in football.
It did indeed mate, going there in the eighties was a guaranteed row with the locals. Sticks, bats and cutlery often on show. A few seasons in the premier soon changed them into another Charlton.Old place used to get a bit lively with the local rude boys
Agreed, but can't bring myself not to go as is only 20ish mins on a train, although if we're having a butlins weekend it has been the game/weekend we've chose to goNice gesture but not for me. One of the most boring and souless shitholes/ days out you can have in football.
I get that mate and it;s a day out with your pals. The bus ride to the ground and back is the worst part of the journey, i'd only go again if it was a playoff or promotion clincher. Reading, Watford,, Brentford Fulham bore the life out of me on a football level, like being in gods waiting room with a Charlton string sitting next you. Bit of a bastard really cause Fulham and Brentford are great to get to on a clipper down the thames for the price of an oyster fare, when the weathers good it's even better.but can't bring myself not to go as is only 20ish mins on a train,
Agree with you on the others as well, but for same reason still go, managed to get cabs last couple of times in Reading to and from ground in fact can't remember last time got the bus, it is a cunt of a bus ride though, but as you said they're all an easy day out with your mates.I get that mate and it;s a day out with your pals.

No mate, missed that one, heard all about it though.Didn't it just - were you in that downstairs bar when it all kicked off? Place got trashed in less than a minute...
Fulham and Brentford are alright for a booze and it helps that they’re in London. Agree about reading and Watford though.I get that mate and it;s a day out with your pals.

Ah yes.. I was with a small group when they appeared by the station, after a little toe to toe we had to back off as there were at least 30 of them and 6 of us and I was getting right handers from every direction... we got in to the station and made a couple of calls to get numbers up... after about 10 mins we got to about 20 (all very game) and went to look for them.. and was told they'd just had it with some more Wall, which was you lot, then they all sloped off.No mate, missed that one, heard all about it though.
I was there one year, mid 90’s. All our lot were plotted up in a boozer. I was with some of the Basingstoke lot, we decided to slip off back to Basingstoke for a booze (I got family there). Halfway up the road back to the station we look around and there’s loads of them behind us and across the other side of the road, all eyes on us.
There was only a few of us and it looked like it was about to come on top, just as we walked past an Italian restaurant, it had its door propped open with a big fire extinguisher. We dived in the restaurant and grabbed some steak knives out the cutlery and John G picked up the fire extinguisher and turned to face them. They soon changed their mind and dispersed after that.
Yeah, would’ve been about 94ish?Ah yes..

We wandered around for a good half hour, in every pub, but no sign of them... so fcked off back to London..
