Another defeat, but another corker of a day out for the C.L.I.T.
Lovely pub about 5 miles outside of Derby, landlady, staff and locals were as friendly as could be. Great sing song onto the game. 90 minutes of pure gallows humour.
Many thanks for WIWLB for organising a great day. Not easy things to do, but the organisation was superb. We had a real mix of different ages on the coach, but everyone all got on great.
Hope everyone enjoyed it as much as me.
Special mention for the Derby police and stewards, in all my years of travelling they were the friendliest i've come across. Allowed you outside the back of the stand to drink, smoke, get the sun at half time. A game of cricket was had at half time with a police car as the wicket, and inflatable banana as a bat, and laughing coppers getting booed every time they didn't make a catch. Brilliant.

Loved that half time drink. Supervisor said we try to make your visit enjoyable and if that means going outside for a smoke then good. what a great idea - Charlton!
Once again great day out and thanks Dean.
Lots more of them next season please.
Getting thrown off the train back at Leicester was another highlight of the day. Magic. A shit season encapsulated in one truly shit day.
What was the reason for not letting him in and why did you get thrown off a train?
funny thing is i persuaded a bloke from work to come and it was him and his missus' first ever football match. they saw the game and none of us did!
You left here at 0715 to meet Badger at the The Bull for a lift to the coach pick up point, thanks that Badger. And on your arrival you went to the pub in Barnsley?? but you said Charlton were playing Derby! oh I see, you meant Derby. So in the pub with several Charlton fans, you decided to have a quick pint or two. Then please explain, why you have photo of a table full of "chips" on your phone! On your return you declined the offer of a curry, deciding to return home imediately rather than the small hours! which explains why a cab driver knocked on the door at 1245, asking is this your husband? Did you stop off at the pub after Badger dropped you off? after I got you passed the the front door, which was difficult enough because you insisted on talking to the "pot plants" you collapsed onto the sofa. So of I went to have a shower, returning after 15 minutes to find you had gone to bed, I then came downstairs to turn of the tv, every light downstairs was left on! But the highlight was still to come, when at 0830 this morning you crawled out of bed went to the window and screamed, feck off!! at the helicopters covering the "London marathon" slamming the window and returning to bed..................................................
So I must have had a good day, thanks to all concerned for organizing the day and Glass Half Empty for the catering ;)
I would guess the Bull on Shooters Hill.
Great story TCE haha
Great name too afka, CLIT, love it
We had a good few beers in the kings head in Bexley. Me and Ian left at 10.30 leaving AFKA and REDarmy to finish up.
The Bull, to get a bottle of "Red wine" being a lady you'd understand, have you ever bought a bottle of wine from a pub? £20 he wanted! so I had a drink!! someone had called a cab but had left, so I used it! The pub to my house has got to be at least what?.................................500 yards...........................
Pay back time............Mrs T.C.E is now Hoovering...................WOW, them things are loud, bye.......................
The Derby fans for proving that perhaps the atmosphere at The Valley isn't too bad after all
The 'Kit Kat w***ers' who still my crisps and chocolate, but left the bleedin apple. How you can sleep at night with chocolate on your hands Doyley i'll never know
NSS's little boy going up and down the coach telling people 'you're not proper charlton'
The driver for being a good sport
palcafc and his boy for giving the stewards the runaround with the sillystream
Top 5 songs of the day:
5. 'We're all going on a third division tour'
4. Que sera, whatever will be will be, we're going stockport county, que sera sera
3. It could be worse, we could be you
2. We used to be good, but now we're sh*t
1. One striker went past Marky, went past Marky Hudson...
The Championship is upside Down
Were Going up with Norwich and the wolves are going down!
Thanks to Curb it for being Betty Hutchins of yesteryear
WIWLB top day out
I would like to thank Luke Varney for proving me right
God you are fuking toilet
I have seen far too much of Ollies arse for my liking
and the pictures of poo were disgusting
Doyley i have decided to maintain my original position for arse wiping
Sheffield is past Derby you know
I went up on the train, such a good day.
Really couldn't tell you how we played, was too busy avoiding inflatable paddling pools and silly string (literally everytime it was sprayed it went directly into my hair!)
Got a couple of short vids of conga and pitch invasion. That was ridiculous.
the steward downstairs moaned about the beach ball. He said he would prefer it if we just used it up in our seats as the ball might knock over someones pint down on the concourse.
Good laugh on the coach and hi to all the Lifers I met for the first time.
The Yoof at the front of the bus had a good time too and were only disappointed by 1. the result and 2. The Derby pitch invasion meaning the players couldn't come over to clap us and maybe throw shirts etc.
Some good old songs.
My fav bit was the "You're wearing fake Stone Island" and "you got it from the market" aimed at one particular Rams fan.
All very silly in a very fun way. Just a good away day.
Nice ground, nice pub, some awful farts but otherwise a cracking day out.
Put me down for next year.
Thoroughly enjoyable day, great pub, bar staff and local fans, the 90 mins in the middle was a bit of a let down, but we're used to that, and I managed to stay awake throughout the curry in Old Bexley.
Maybe Swindon and Huddesfield aswell?
A bit earlier than you by the sound of it. Went straight for curry and was home about 10-30.
Thanks for putting up with my coughing most of the day
