Hard to belive but after all the ups and downs last term Saturday is actually a derby of sorts, with only the thames and few miles along the a13 dagenham represents a home derby. Who will be having a sleepless night on friday? Who will be donning the wigs and painting there faces? Should we get to the ground early to avoid the rush get in our seats and start singing from 2pm onwards?
Or is it just another painful reminder of far we have fallen, are we going to get 16k plus for this game? Those of us who were in the liberal before the notts county game couldn't belive how quite it was.
To me and a few others I know so far this season every home game has felt like a friendly, no crowds in the boozers no atmosphere walking down floyd rd at 2.45. For the notts game I got off the bus in the village at 1.45pm , apart from a few coppers you would never know there was a game on.
I left my fellow drinkers at 2.30pm to make sure I got my programme and got in with plenty of time, this was done by 2.35pm.. my mates who I was with and sit in front of me left at 2.55pm and arrived bang on for kick off.
Will it be different on Saturday? Will the drums be banging the north upper rocking as we go toe to toe with one of our nearest rivals?
So questions are, what can the club do to get people back (winning or sacking parky don't count) do we have it in us to make this a real derby atmosphere? Or are most of us just going thru the motions?
Not sure this is a rant, just needed to air it luckily charlton life give us nutters a place to exhale and vent our thoughts.

expect them to bring 1,500 and the crowd to be between 15/16k
Cons club has still been pretty busy most home games, same faces in there each week that have been going for years.
Dagenham's home gate against Bristol Rovers was 2,287. Bristol Rovers travel quite well so will be amazed if they bring 1,500. They had 500 for the JPT I reckon you can probably add 100 or so to that and that will be it.
Thing to consider is, the JPT was £10.00. They are now on a poor run and their home gates are already tailing off - first home game was around 4,000 I believe. People that had jumped on the bandwagon are clearly jumping off again already!
Our away tickets are not cheap, £25.00 will put off the part-timers who might turn up for a bigger game. Will be amazed if they bring more than 700.
Are West Ham at home? If so, then they'll do well to bring a couple of hundred...
After Millwall last year I dont want another proper local london derby for a while! ;-)
Yep, at home to Spurs
More importantly we need a convincing win, whether we get that is an even bigger question.
Well thats that jinxed then
Im hoping this is the game that could get are season going by putting a nice run together,
however said the same thing after the Notts County game
It's never fair when you have to play two teams at the same time.
Dunno where you get your info from but its bloody way off. Cup final ha ha, oh dear the yids are getting above themselves.
Let's face it this shows what a dog & duck league we're in and how far we have fallen and on saturday I will definitely be" going thru the emotions"
I read that on another site. But this shows your support is still absolutely piss poor quite frankly. Nevermind, you'll have 30,000 unsold tickets if you get the Olympic Stadium eh? And yes, enjoy your Cup Final at the weekend.
Bride's father is also a season ticket holder so there could be eruptions from the congregation during the course of the ceremony if we score.
Benson-1st goalscorer.
So not quite the 4000 you said then? Typical yid always exaggerating. Lets face it, its more your cup final than ours seeing its the only real big london game you stand a chance of winning. Just remembered why i f***ing hate yids. Oh and on the subject of piss poor support. Still plenty of seats left for your game tonight against your north london leaders. Cant you fill home games these days? Thought you were a big club
lolololololol. For your information, the tickets for Spurs reserves v Arsenal reserves sold out last week - see here Our Cup Final? You're having a laugh.
You beering on Saturday pal?
