Not sure if this has been asked before on this forum but couldn't find anything on search and thought it would be a good idea just to take everybody's mind of all the rumours etc.
Anyway, for me it was actually a friend of mine that lived on my street that changed me from being an Arsenal fan to a cafc fan (this being back when I was around 10-11years old) I attended a match with him and that's when the love for Charlton all started, so really I thank my mate Billy G for it all :-)
So I ask.... What made you support Charlton Athletic?
If people think this is a pointless thread then please sink/close but just would really like to know.

Perhaps someone can find the original thead.
I found out my cousin was a die-hard charlton fan and he got me following them, I took more notice of the scores and followed them more and bugged my parents for a season ticket for two years, but couldn't get one for the first 2 years as dad wasn't prepared to fork out for it and wasn't a charlton fan and they didn't want me going by myself I, I found a mate through my local football team who I played for who was up for going and he said he'd come with me (converted him from a man united dan to charlton over time), convinced dad to let me go eventually though... (had to make him tea whenever he asked for the remainder of the season, he made me sign a contract and everything)
Haven't looked back since.
I think this could be the original thread to keep people happy!!
My primary school got a load of tickets for Charlton in early 1998, I went along with my Dad and loved it. The rest is history. Before that, I sort of looked out for Man United like most at school, however I was only 8/9.
I got on the wrong bus and ended up at Charlton.
Could have joined the B mob.
