  • Next year mate, next year !!

    Remember a lot of the Ipswich fans stayed to applaud the presentation.
    I still had a season ticket in the south stand then.
  • Was banned for this one, so missed all the celebrations

    Excuse me?!
  • A great era for us that was. Play-Off final, great year in the Prem despite the relegation and then winning the league.

    The celebrations that day were fantastic. Anyone got any pics?

  • Typical Charlton last match of the season performance, though! How to win the Championship with a whimper. Was amazed when I realised we got the real 'League' trophy - the one I remembered Liverpool winning all those times in the 70s.

  • great pics , days that seem an eternity away from where we are at now as a team... thanks curbs , kins and co... we've never had it so good(well not in my lifetime)
  • nor will we again oohaa nor will we again i remeber being on the table next to that trophy at the poty and i couldnt believe the size of it. best seats we ever had that year for poty ever cheers ian cartwright
  • Replica medals were presented to to the players following the match

    ..........

    Why replica medals???
  • Happy days.....
  • Strange how our seats at the poty got further away after that bro didnt we end up nearly in the car park at the end lol
  • That was to do with Curbs i reckon and big Merv never liked our humour about his tan getting better as the season nearly finished yet he could still go on SSN and say that the players have not got to 40 points and gone on holiday.

    Then me with Youngy and Tiler proberly didnt help either surprised we were even let in in the end

    come on spill the beans what happened??
  • wasn't that the year of the famous New brothers , young and Tiler and the buffet courgete ?
  • Think the problems with Gary Rowett and NLA coat might have something to do with it as well. In fact NLA dont forget Karren and the Slade Green Jibes that led to a row with the security guards at out last POTY.In fact any time NLA, Fat Rob ,Larry the Lamb and myself meet up their is normaly some kind of trouble.
    Now GHE Courgete youve seen the size of me do you think i touch courgetes lol
  • That was quite a day. I fianlly got the keys for my first flat in the morning and then went to the game in the afternoon.

    I was out in charlie chans with a mate from work whos brother played for spurs and is now at sarthend (do your research) when a charlton player who used to play for spurs turned up and joined in the schenanagans this was a thursday nite finished very very late and charlton were playing saturday.

    certain things happened that night which resulted in a certain individual asleep in a car that was not his with a broken window and not at training the next day,

    he was subsequently shite during the said match saturday it was poty within the next 2 weeks i was pisshed and kept telling said player (B4 smudge edits) that i couldnt believe he done that whilst well in ear shot of curbs who's head turned red with anger cos said player had obviously told him something else,

    didnt powelly have the worst shoes in the history of bad shoes this night also

    this then annoyed said player but i was pished and didnt care and then continued to annoy him until he phoned my mate and told him to ask me to stop which i then did

    Not big not clever i admit but extreemly funny at the time.

    The same night i believe Larry the lamb kept saying lisbie was cack and then turned round to see him behind us on the next table.

    i think this was the same night when Rowett stole my coat (not Tiler my mistake) and i also found it amusing to drive him mad for nicking my coat i was very very very drunk at this stage and the poty had only started an hour b4 unfortunatly we hadnt.

    I recall fat pat and spotty parker going head to head at this one because pat kept calling him spotty instead of scotty

    and the very young charlton player in the loos talking to his mate about him being the ball cocks and that if curbs couldnt see it he was going to leave this 2 bob club whilst a couple of us were having a pee pee and we then informed him that he should leave cos if he was good enouff he would play and we told him merv was having a poo in the cubicle (he wasnt) and he had proberly just signed his exit papers any way and the player weed on his foot and went back to his popstar girlfriend.

    Thats why we were no longer welcome at the POTY bruv i think and the day i realised that we were not little old charlton any more.
  • cheer yourself up.
  • I was only 6 but in the East Stand. Don't remember much to be honest..
