I remember coming back from an away game and we met Barry Fry and Stan flashman, I cant remeber why but there was some sort of bundle with Bazza Fry on the bottom of it, and Stan getting ribbed over dodgy tickets,
Was a very funny and surreal moment, To his credit Bazza took it in great jest
North Stand bogs a few years ago at half time, full up with blokes emptying beer full bladders, trough full of piss. Bloke walks up takes his gloves off tucks them under his arm and proceeds to pee, he then accidentally drops the gloves in the trough. He finishes, zips up then puts his hands into all the pee to retrieve his gloves, walks away (with us gagging!) and dries them under the hand drier. Think I might have brought a new pair myself!

That's one way of taking the piss I suppose...........
JPT trophy away against Brentford last season. went for a piss and on walking out the back of the terracing, there is a wall which is 90 degree angle. so if two people walk around the corner at the same time then they are gonna bump into each other.....which we did....except the boy i bumped into had just bought a hot dog. He got absolutely covered in mustard and ketchup...must have used half a bottle on it. all up his face and coat, even got in his hair. his response ''ahhhh bruv, dat is emotional''...haha nearly pissed myself there and then. couldnt stop laughing for nearly whole of second half.
I've posted this before, away at the Gills FA cup 3rd I think, Hales, Flanagan Powell era..was with my dad and his mates, my old man loves a bevvy so we left early and stopped about midday at a boozer on the A2, noticed there was a coach outside, went in and the team were having a drink before the game, the old man goes up to the bar and says to Killer, 'drinking before the game Derek?'. its Ok its only a couple of Scotch's' was the reply from our top striker!! No wonder we won sod all.
Yesterday this came back to me and made me laugh. It happened when we played Millwall at home and drew 4 4 one December day when snow was on the ground. At half time I was waiting at that burger van at the bottom of the stairs east stand. I saw these two reds fans clearly up to something. Then they massed together a massive snow ball and threw it over the gate separating us from the scum. It hit this Millwall fan straight in the gob and he went absolutely nuts. Funny as hell!!!These two fans calmly walked away. The police came over trying to calm him down. Imagine what he told the old bill!!!!!!!!! I got hit by a Snow ball!!!!!!! Absolute classic!!!!! Any other stories at a reds game?
Also at that game.
Saw someone throw a crutch from the North Upper at a celebrating Millwall fan in the NWQ, think it hit him as well
And....Stones club mid to late '70's, all the players used to drink there after the games. Peter Shaw had one of his usual stinkers of a game. Was standing with the old man and his mates at the bar, dads mate with his back to the door was coating Shaw off no end. Unknown to him Shaw comes in and stands behind while he continues to give him pelters, Shaw who is a lump could hear him loud and clear, the penny dropped, dads mate turns round and with out a pause says 'hello Peter want a pint', cue roars of laughter as Shaw tells him to 'piss off' (sorry swearing police).
Cambridge away last game of the season (can't remember what year). Had our own coach and we all went in fancy dress. The funniest one being big Dunc (RIP) dressed as a ballet dancer. As we walked to the ground there was a field with horses in one of our lot, after a couple of soft drinks, decided to ride the horse. He got on and within a couple of seconds he was off flat on his arse. "No horses were hurt in the making of this comment."
I thought it was rather amusing after the millwall game when a bunch of lads got hold of a coppers hate and started lobbing it in the air! But for me i'd say in the lower north stand watching the STEWARD get caught smoking in the toilets was pretty amusing !
Back in our Selhurst days, not sure of the year but playing Coventry at home. There was a burger van at the top of a sparcely populated Coventry away end and a very large overweight bloke took the regular walk of shame up the empty terrace to the burger van ...... after probably the 3rd visit, he turned away from the van clutching another burger to chants of 'fatties got a burger, le lah lah lah' from the Charlton faithful, he then proceeded to shake his fists at the Charlton fans and ultimately dropping his burger in an agressive manner, how we laughed ....... my couple of non Charlton mates who tagged along for the day still chuckle about it now.
Shefki Kuqi coming on for Ipswich a couple of years ago, came steaming on for a corner I think, sprinting full pelt to the box, only to pull up with a hammy a couple of minutes later, whole stand of Charlton doing the funeral march to him 'ner ner nerner ner ner nernerner ner nerrrr...... S#!%!!!!

That was 1988 towards the end of the season, I remember the incident you are talking about very clearly.
The other thing in that game was Steve Mackenzie had a long range shot which hit the insides of both posts and rolled along the goal line before it was grabbed by dear old Sky Blues keeper Oggy.
Late in the game Bolder pole axed Garry Bannister in the box for a stonewall penalty and the referee - who was right in front of us - put his whistle to his lips to give the penalty and then changed his mind.
this didn't happen at charlton but at the old wembley stadium when I was a kid.
we had a school trip to watch england schoolboys play german schoolboys and the crowd had a smattering of adults watching as well.. a few feet in front of me stood a shiney bald headed bloke whose head screamed out to be hit and duly it was.
as if in slow motion came a tin can, empty I might add, from behind and it couldn't have been a better hit, it was as if the guy had painted a bulls eye on his head because the can landed smack bang in the centre, my mate and I creased up with laughter and it was lucky we had our teachers with us because the man thiught it was us and was fuming mad, as anyone might of been had it happened to themselves. brilliant.
oh, and as to be expected, england lost but at least not on penalties!
upton park when it was "home" - looking out of the terrace at Green Lane where there was a police horse running riderless up the road, with coppers in pursuit. With the whole stand singing Goodbye Horse. Hilarious!
That was an "away game" against West Ham, Melrose 9 second goal I think, we won 3-1

It did hit him, its not every day you see a flying crutch..I think the guy who threw it was allowed to stay for the rest of the game as well
I remember being in a pub near Manchester Piccadilly station, before a game, 1990 when we had a relegation party at Old Trafford, full of Charlton the boozer. Anyways, going for a piss, bloke (who is a regular to this day) stood 2 or 3 traps down from me, I hear him fart and think nothing of it, about 5 seconds later I hear him groan "oh no", I turn to look at him and ask "you haven't?" and with his eyes closed and head facing up towards the ceiling he gives me the silent nod just to confirm that he's followed through. Left very quickly, told my mate and spent the next 5 minutes in convulsions, he then appeared and slipped out the pub door. Still see him now and it always makes me giggle to myself.

Followed by "fatties getting fatter" if I remember rightly
late 80's i think and one of our fans - might have been ginger bloke called Oxford, feined illness and got stretchered out of the away end and carried around the pitch by St johns, past the home fans and then jumped off the stretcher and ran back to the away end - might have been coventry away.

Remember it well. He claimed he was having a heart attack.
Pretty sure he got the funeral chant as he went and an Oxford, your not dead, Oxford Oxford your not dead upob his return.

Tea spitting moment. Remember it clearly. Bloke went apeshit.
Remember one incident at Huddersfield. The 12.00 kick off in the Championship season. Bloke in the seats next to the away end was giving it all the way through the match getting angrier and angrier. He exploded when Robinson scored, slipped on the top step of the gangway and went head first down the whole flight of stairs.
Didn't Curbs once try and kick a water bottle carrier and get his foot stuck in it? Seem to remember something like that at an away game withMatt Holland sitting behing on the bench tying not to laugh.

In those days I was managing a shop in Brentford along with a couple of the mates working there with me. I used to offer to let them have the afternoon off paid, tickets and travel on my expenses to go to Charlton games with me, me buying the beer and still I had to try hard to persuade them to come with me. They did both also see Leaburn score as well as the above incident so they at least can say they are part of history .......... and 1988, god makes me feel old lol

Away at Grimsby in mid-90s with Mike Ammann playing in goal. We get a goal kick, Mike places the ball and turns to walk back towards us behind the goal to take the kick. Seemed to be as one that we all put our left hands on our hearts and did the American national anthem, "der-de-der, der, der, der" style. Remember Mike and us then proceeded to crack up :-)
Was there that day and you've just made me smile with that reminder. Used to like going there for some reason.
Always good to raise a smile! Thought of this the other week when Ammann was being interviewed by Choice. Seem to remember a big old pub just near the ground and a big sign on way in stating that the town was the home of Hula Hoops!!!

I only thing I remember from that game was throwing the foil from a meat pie at Dave (old manager of the Who'd) missing him and hitting the copper who just walked past. Hard to explain.
for me a charlton fan in pure anger threw his crutch down from top of north upper after millwall went 2-0 up 2 seasons ago and when we went 4-3 up he tried to celebrate and was in agnoy. never got the crutch back either had to laugh
I remember as a young 'un having a quick game of cricket on the pitch at Hove in between innings at a Sussex Sunday League game. We were using a tennis ball and part of an advertising hoardings as a wicket. I accidentally bowled a ferocious beamer which sailed over the board and with a hollow thwack hit a bald bloke right in the middle of the forehead, if i had dived i would have caught the rebound. He was furious and literally chased us out of the stand.....
Barnet away in the F.A cup last year. During Half time Kyle Reid was Practicing his shooting but their were also a number of smallish children playing behind the goal. One of them was running along the terrace completely oblivious to a miss hit Reid shot that was going at some speed and it him very hard on his head which resulted in him falling straight over. However he was O.K and he got to meet Reid as well.
Borat in his Mankini.
Tranmere Centre back Ian Goodison found the refs Cards which he had dropped and while the ref was talking to one of our players Goodison kept booking/sending off the ref right behind his back before he politely gave them back.
