I think the big difference is that in 98 the general perception was that Charlton were a club "on the up" Had we lost that final I genuinely feel that we would have continued knocking on the door of promotion. Curbs was in his pomp and all things on and off the field seemed to me to be moving forward. This time round we are a club peering into an abyss and failure does not this time does not bode well for our next few seasons. Huge amount resting on these games and I really hope that we can come through. Have a feeling we just might. COYR.
In 98 I was brewing in an exotic location (The Bahamas) and I flew over especially for the game. We had beers in the the Royal Oak the night before and Mike Stevens gave a number of us "expats" tickets for the after-match celebrations in a TV studio near Wembley.
I'm currently brewing in Australia, the rest is up to you, Mike Stevens!!!

palace are always in dire financial straits
did you say that back then this is more important than last toime
Then surely the title should be "What are the similarities between 98 and 10" ?

your a happy fecka today
So now he's a knob with pish stained trousers. Sounds like someone to avoid IMHO.
i tried not to rise to it you moody fecka according to you on the take over thread we are back on so this game is of minor significance ala 98 :-)
Perhaps our promotion chances hinge on Nick and Gordon having a chat...

And there's a beer connection at right wing: Lloyd 'Sam Smiths', Shaun 'Newton and Ridley'.

theres the best comparison so far

in 1998 i was given the chance to be an uncle and godfather to a lovely young girl called natalie born in jan 1998
2010 that same young lady is going to be the godmother to my lovely young girl Scarlett born in january 2010
it is impossible to stop this Red train that is running all aboard the promotion express
