Watching the specimens in that east upper stand - those kids must spend all week rehearsing their Danny Dyer movements, it's like watching insane animals in a zoo
Stupid of our lot to throw the flares and smoke bombs, but the reaction from the Neanderthals in their lower tier was way over the top, we did have a laugh at their spitting rage though, especially the fat bloke in the silly hat who got twatted by a coppers baton. They really rose to the bait. Had no trouble outside, me and the missus just kept our heads down and saw nothing to worry about to be honest.
Nasty bunch of inbreds. I sat with my brother and his kids in the Kitchener Stand, just by the dug outs. I was shocked at the verbal and racial abuse dished out to our players and, especially, the subs. Monkey chants at BWP from a guy behind me and he thought it was me! Nice. They were very angry men, weren't they!!??
Obviously the (unconfirmed) stories about the 12 year old and the steward and are disturbing, and I'm not condoning anyone's actions (flares/coin throwing etc has no place in football) but it sounds like it was mostly posturing and mouthing off and very little I'm the way of real aggro.
Starting to talk like trouble is already EXPECTED at the return fixture just fans the flames.
Smoke bombs and flairs really make us look stupid and small time. It sounds like that was the ignition that set them off. It was fairly obvious that it would have some sort of reaction, so in my mind it makes the person/people responsible guilty of being partly the cause of the problems today!
I know I will get shot down foe this but I don't care. I saw the smoke bomb get thrown and it DID miss the ballboy by a couple of foot at most. I also spotted a chair being thrown into the home end. I have said for some time that we are becoming too much like Millwall for my liking and today just proved it!!
I hope the pricks responsible are caught and banned!!

we're still not a patch on Millwall, but agree with the last bit.

No it wasn't kev. it had already started before the flare.
We're nowhere near as bad as millwall but incidents like this dont help, saw the back of the chair flying through the air, went pretty far and landed just next to the pitch if it had hit a millwall fan it probably would have made things much worse. saw atleast 20 or 30 bottles coming our way including a full bottle of lucozade which hit sombody and exploded infront of me, got me thinking though surley you would have drank some during the half if you bought it at half time, so they must have gone down to the concourse bought a bottle and then come back and thrown it. The mind boggles.
Saw it all inside plenty of Bravado walked up ilderton rd after with a millwall fella on his phone saying we had taken liberties wait till the valley he kept telling his mate
We certainly made em angry!! By that burger stand outside the cafe I almost got ironed out by this animal looking bloke who was none too pleased about the flares etc, literally walked stright into him side stepped him whilst he was offering anyone out who was interested, looking at him I certainly was not!! Hairy indeed! Quote
were his knuckles scraping along the ground?
I had to take a few steps back from him and kinda had to merge into some people so save my arse
I thought our support was fantastic - non stop singing & chanting - and really wound up the Spanners in both tiers to the left of us. Couldn't make themselves heard , team not managing to score against little old Charlton = frustration & rage which was obviously going to come to a head sooner or later..
Make that later. At the final whistle, before the smoke bomb & flare were thrown( stupid IMHO) they were climbing over each other to get closer. Saw something being thrown towards our lower tier , then the items thrown on the pitch by some of our least intelligent "fans" & did note that one narrowly missed a ballboy walking along by the goalmouth. It was looking a tad worrying when we decided to make our way out and the last thing I saw was one of ours breaking up a seat in row A by jumping on it , presumably with the intention of lobbing it Millwall wards. Mob mentality, I guess - definitely not just banter...
A fellow Addick asked if I'd seen a policemen thumping a Millwall fan in the ground to which I answered no and then walking back to the car ( no trouble at all) I was accused of supporting a dastardly Club who target ballboys, as it was his grandson narrowly avoiding injury from the smokebomb or flare. I did manage to state that it was nothing to do with me but a tirade of abuse followed ....wouldn't have expected anything less and on reflection , I should have apologised on behalf of our Club.
Hadn't heard of any serious problems until reading the above. I presume that we will be in some kind of trouble for throwing the flare etc onto the pitch but I was itching to tell the grandad who swore at me that he was lucky to have a stadium to watch his team. SO many problems over the years and as someone has already said , never "their" fault. Also, the report of racial abuse near the dugout does not surprise me in the least after my experiences in the past. It's time that something was done to stop this at this excuse of a football club .

I think that's the problem. Millwall WILL kick off at the valley because of what happened today. For all the people saying we are nothing like millwall, the gap is closing too rapidly for my liking
"then walking back to the car ( no trouble at all) I was accused of supporting a dastardly Club who target ballboys, as it was his grandson narrowly avoiding injury from the smokebomb or flare"
I think it's quite clear that Millwall are going to hide behind the excuse that it only kicked off because our fans threw a smokebomb

Oh joy
@AmberRiley11
Charlton fans smashed up millwall club shop with children and old people still inside and they have the cheek to call millwall scumbags?
I hope the pricks responsible are caught and banned!!
please..
That kind of behavior should not be accepted anywhere really, but it's certainly not the way I want our fans to behave.
Passionate and partisan support yes, violence and vandalism no.
It's really not difficult to stay the right side if the line.

Hopefully now they've found the Den they'll stay there and let Charlton remain as a boring family club.
