in General Charlton
For a London team I sometimes feel like the only Charlton fan that lives in London. Im not talking about ppl who live in Charlton/Woolwich, but others parts of Londinium.

I live in Stratford (about 5 miles from The Valley), which is obviously W.Ham territory with the odd Orient supporter floating about. My journey home from the valley is a tube train from North Greenwich, and I rarely see more then 3 or 4 Charlton fans on it with me at most. Its possible I just never happen to get the tube train that carries a significant proportion of the addicks, but I doubt it. This compared to the seemingly thousands who travel in from Kent every game.

Anybody else here actually live in London? Or even East Laaaaandan?
