How many times you been Old Trafford ?

edited February 2007 in General Charlton
think i'm on about 5 times.

is this the reason why few seem to be going tomorrow ? The though of missing Man U away in past years would of been obsurd to me, yet now i'm not really that fussed.

Relegation would be a bad thing, but for many of us i think the blow will be softened by the prospect of variety.

    The 0-0 towards the end of the season

    The FA Cup game when we took 10,000 and about 50 coaches

    and

    England vs. Liechenstein
  • Twice I think, a 3-0 Defeat when Tommy Caton was playing for us & the defeat 1-0 I think when we were relegated under Lennie last game of season just before Manu played Palace in Cup final.
  • 3 for me, including England v Sweden.

    That's 3 more times than my mate who has 'supported' Man U since he was a kid....
  • Probably 10 times, loads of England games in the past couple of years

    we may have been on the same coach...my father and i dashed off the coach and ran around the corner to the watermans hoping there was still a chance of getting a pint in and did...it was one that didn't live up to the billing of luxury coach as promised when we booked the tickets and if we'd have known beforehand how crap the coach was and how slow the journey was going to be I'd have got the merc out of the garage and gone up in that...
  • Tomorrow will be the 5th time. Going to sample the world famous prawn sarnies.
  • about 6 or 7 i think
  • 3

    Relgation game

    I hate Old Trafford, when going there I never feel like I'm going to football, the atmosphere feels like a Stones gig.

    Snap for Charlton - assuming the 0-0 was Jorge Costa's last game?
    Also three Euro 96 games - including one of the worst / dullest games I've ever seen, the semi between France and Czech Rep which the Czechs won on pens.
  • too many times
    i hate the place
    thank gawd the Rugby League will never be there again!!!!!!
  • Only twice. First one was the "Things Can Only Get Better" cup game, and the second was the first Premiership away game with the streaker protesting against the Sky takeover, when our coach got bricked in Shepherds Bush on the way home.
  • Grand final is staying at OT, KBLS
  • 1-0 stuart 0-0 bob bolders greatest game 0-1 when we were relegated, cup game and when we lost 1-4 a few seasons back..... havnt been since just cant summon up the enthusiasm to go away anymore... or the money!

  • i went to all the Euro '96 games at OT as i was living oop north at the time, none of them any good - the semi was the worst game i have ever been too :-(

    i also ended up at OT for the semi-final in their Cup Winners Cup wining year (91 or so).............

    With you on that semi, Oakster. Only entertaining bit was when the pens went to sudden death and the Czechis couldn't find anyone else to take one - the players ganged up and pushed one of them (the captain, I think) out of the centre circle. He scored though! We had a mad dash afterwards back to Congleton to my brother's house to watch the Eng v Ger semi - made it just as they were kicking off...
  • 5 times
  • Seen us there about 6 or 7 times including the 0-1 Mark Stuart yippee-eye-aye day and the Cup 1/4 final.

    Also saw Man Utd in Euro games on at least two occasions in the Bryan Robson, Frank Stapleton days against Juventus and Barcelona when Maradona was playing for them. The later was a classic, with Utd 0-2 down from the first leg and winning 3-0 to go through. Best atmosphere I've ever experienced, it was electric, and from a 'neutral' thats saying something.

    * these Man Utd games were kind of a pay back to keep my brother-in-law company who used to travel around with us following CAFC around the country. On one of the Man Utd games we met the Charlton team in the services on their way back from Blackburn (I think), god I felt guilty!

    What are they thinking of?????

    4-1 Kinsella Goal and Dwight York's debut
    The 0 0 when JJ should have won it for us
    And another time but cant remember too much about it
  • I've been to every Man U v Charlton game at Old Trafford since 1986.Don't know how many that is.I think it makes it 10. 9 league games and 1 cup.
  • Quality covered end,just 5 for me
  • Just 3 times

    1986 - the game we got Ron Atkinson sacked and Lennie said about goalscorer Mark Stuart: He's so good he could be playing for Barcelona and so bad he should be playing for Bromley. Barcelona or Bromley, it's up to him.

    He got sold to Plymouth.

    1994 - when Peter Schmichel scythed down Kim Grant and got sent off- how was he to know Granty would surely have missed anyway.....
    And seeing cult hero (!?) Carl Leaburn actually score against Man Yoo.

    !998 - Seeing Kinsella put us into the lead.....we'd just got promoted to the Prem: drawn 0-0 at N'castle, done S'oton 5-0, 0-0 at Arsenal and now winning away at Man Utd......had to pinch myself that this was plucky little Charlton in the Prem, it seemed unbelievable - and it was, alright. Losing 4-1 brought us right back to earth.
