Got a day off tomorrow, was going to go if we had won against Donny, now not bothering, have better things to spend the £40-£50 I would have spent by going, sad but true, its all over bar the dotting of I's and crossing of T's etc, would love to be proved wrong obviously, but we are just not good enough.
Have zero expectations, Watford will probably have a decent support and will need the result more. So if they want the win they'll get it. 2-0 probably. If it gets any higher than 3-0 with 30 minutes left I may contemplate leaving a game early for the first time ever.
"D'ye want to go?"
"Not, really, what shall we do instead?"
"Well, we've got to sort that hole in the shed roof and start clearing out some of the junk?"
"But we should really support the lads shouldn't we?"
"And it might be a good game"
" Shall we give it one more go and then see how we feel?"
"OK"
i'm going i know the quality of football will be poor( we were spoiled in the curbs era)
going for a meal in the ground with friends gonna get hammered and reminisce (bore the pants off everyone) about the good old days when we used to be decent and play the big clubs like man utd, arsenal, liverpool etc

It's Charlton - the club you support.
You meet with friends/family have a beer/enjoy their company.
Have people forgottenwhythey go to football.....?
All great sentiments, but what about the people, who for whatever reason, work etc cant make every home game so dont have season tickets, and pick & choose, and then finances come into it?

you've said its all over bar the crossing of the t's and the i's - its not over yet!
this could be your last opportunity to see the team this season with your days off from work - they might put up a fight and surprise you - and surely you'd love to be there to see it?
Not feeling particularly motivated TBH. I may not go as Junior is away for the weekend (don't feel right without him) and I have other, more pressing things to do. But I don't know if I'll not go because of it or use it as the excuse not to go

In 29 years as a fan I cannot remember the last time my interest was so low.
Tuesday was so bad for so many reasons that I cannot be bothered to sit through it again.
Sat there utterly bored from about 20mins in. Hopefully a break will bring back the hunger. Unfortunately, I think it might do the opposite and make me realise there are other things to do on a Saturday afternoon.
Another ticket in the ST remains unused. Not sure I'll be able to justify one next year.

Boring zzzzzzz
indeed. I used to dread going to football when we were playing the likes of Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool as there was more chance we would get spanked, and more chance of getting it ripped out of us because we'd be on match of the day. I used to read the teamsheets and then say "oh its ok, rooney's only on the bench!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" not saying i wouldn't want to be up there again, but football was definately a different experience, and not sure if it was better or worse in more ways than one.

I am one of those people, DA9.
Win or lose, I'd love to be there tomorrow, with friends and family, and having a beer or 3 before the game.
When I get to The Valley, I still feel that little flutter of anticipation, just like I've always done since my 1st visit 45 seasons ago. It can only happen half a dozen times a season, so I don't take it for granted.
Anyway, my original point was, it's so much more than just a result - you can get that from watching the telly.
It's a day out, you with your mates - go and feckin enjoy it!

The atmosphere in the ground is going to be awful. The beer before is the only thing keeping me going...

Will still be going, i don't even know why. Just something makes you go.
It will be even harder getting a train to Wolves next week if we don't win the next two.

Yeah but I only saw them last on Tuesday...!
Come on everyone! there are people that have had their clubs taken away from them.
Your club, your great stadium, and your 2nd family will be there tomorrow waiting for you!!
I can't wait!

Apparently, he played a stormer for the reserves in midweek.
Parky said he was quality.
I could even manage to go tomorrow but the 3 games (starting at Barnsley) and a 1000 miles later, I am absolutely mashed.
See you at Soton.
Hooray another fit central midfielder......who won't be here next season.
Mention a new centre forward and you raise a slight interest.
Thanks, mate.
Just trying to put a little positivity in the thread - and shot down in flames.
britains got talent is casting in glasgow..
