    got a charlton training top that i wear around the house
    got a dortmund top as mrs got it for me when she arranged to go dortmund for a game.

    do own the england rugby top as i was going to a game wanted to wear one.

    funny i wouldnt dream of wearing a charlton shirt to a game other than maybe a cup final.

    Personally I think anyone wearing a replica shirt outside of a match, is a total wanker.

    those on here that do, excluded of course;)

    Well I'm defo a total wanker, not just for wearing Football shirts to work etc but also what's the point in having a wank if you're not going to do it totally??????

    I have always since being a teenager chosen to wear what I like, and I have no intention of being guided by a bunch of people who cannot spell sew! I still love turn-ups on trousers, and do not like skinny fits, but would never criticise others for wearing them. Look out next season for a 79 year old in his Charlton shirt, bye now you boring lot.

    Well said Grandpa, mind you. Laying down to put a pair of skinny jeans on for me would involve at least two of the four emergency services to get me back up again. :(

    Don't get all this ageism... Where what you want, dress as you like, be comfortable in yourself and ignore those that criticise you for it.

    I have just seen that bloody predictive changed wear to where. Bugger.

    funnily enough i thought wearing a top (as a 40 year old back in 1997 would be a bit naff) however work colleagues bought me one as gift then and i wouldnt dream of wearing anything else now to a game

    i still think its a bit naff to wear on any other occasion though

    (and i certainly wouldnt wear one of those figure hugging shirts!)

    Rumour has it yours is figure hugging.

    p.s I don't know you personally so would rescind that if you're offended. If you are it may mean you have a few extra pounds you could lose :wink:

    Last time I went to a Charlton game I wore a Charlton training top and cafc tracky bottoms ( both macron)! Would that be considered a full kit w**ker?

    I wear a variety of old Charlton/England/Rangers shirts around the house when know I'm not going out, unless up the legion for a pint, not purchased or worn one to a game in living memory, if I ever did.
    Although have just got the Retro 1982 England red away shirt to wear during the Euros

    That's cos you are a geezer, not a shirter, mate... :wink:

    replica shirts in the 70`s and early 80`s were kids sizes only, from what i remember, before and after euro 96, is when the replica shirt market went into overdrive imo

    I think it just wasn't the done thing to wear team shirts .we looked really sophisticated, like a Bay city roller with a silk scarf on each wrist.

    ffs.

    People who wear their club replica shirts at England matches are the worst.

    As long as you don't go 'full kit wanker' (see https://twitter.com/Full_KitWanker ) then who cares what you wear?

    I wore the full Charlton kit for non-uniform day once at secondary school when I was about 13.
    Didn't get beaten up once.
    On my final day of secondary school in 98, everyone was allowed to write/draw over everyone's white school shirts with good luck messages and what not.

    I drew on my shirt to make it resemble our MESH shirt that year and wrote HUNT 9 on the back. (I probably didn't have patience or space to write MENDONCA'.)

    Anyway, I was sent home by a teacher just after lunchtime after it turned out one of my classmates, while writing his own 'good luck' note, had changed the H to a C.

    Should have seen that one coming, really.

    I had the original fads one, in 1980, sure you could get adult sizes, and people did wear them, but not as common as now, and wearing a replica shirt up north, in the early 80`s, was risky. forget all this casual crap, about only fighting there own, everyone was fair game in those days.

    I don't think adults should wear bibs and nappies, but what can you do?

    I haven't got a problem with club shirts at England matches or England shirts at club matches as spectators. My only dislike is players who having won a trophy with a league club then cover themselves in their national flag for the trophy presentation and celebrations. Their choice but looks odd and doesn't sit right with the situation imo.

    Agreed.

    In those days it was all about where you came from, not who you supported.

    Go on to the Sainsburys website.

    They are selling the England Admiral retro tracksuit tops from the mid 70's.

    Online they are only £24, they are proper retro rather than the snide s*** Fads ones we have in the club shop.
