A Cup Run?

POSLCAFCPOSLCAFC
in General Charlton
Been a Charlton supporter all of my Life and we haven't (In my time) ever gone very far in the cup, I cant help but think It would be quite good and exciting to have a cup run.

I went to watch the Charlton V Huddersfield Game in the FA Cup, We were useless, I know we put out a second team in a way but, We were terrible.

I think back to when palace had their Cup run and Beat Manchester United in the Quarter-Finals, I have always thought that even to make it to the quarters would be exciting.

And we were the only Championship South-London team not to go to Wembley this year.

Is it worth having a go, Or Do I just forget about any hope of having a go at the cup.

However, I would love to have a good draw for the Capital One Cup, Have Manchester City at Home in the first round... I can hope?

    I remember three cup "runs" and two of them we should've ended up at Wembley. When we lost to Wycombe and Operation Riverside. Man U away was a bonus day.

    I'd be happy to get a premier league team and not get beat 3 or 4 nil like we have in recent years, regardless of how well we might have played.

    I completely agree, I would love to draw someone big in the first round, Even if we didn't win, It would just be amazing :)

    How old are you if you've never seen us have a decent cup run? We've had a few in the last 20 years or so.

    The bolton game still gets me. The run we was on at the time I would have fancied as at Wembley against Villa in the SF.

    Me too. Interesting how people are getting excited about a semi-final at Wembley, Villa Park wouldn't have the same buzz.

    We are rubbish in the cup though, eliminated at the first hurdle in both competitions last season.

    A cup run is semi finals or beyond as many have said before quite sickening how all those years in the premier we never mustered one . We are quite unique

    In recent times we have not mustered a shot never mind a cup run.

    Funny you should say that, I've got a good feeling we going to have a good cup run next season ( and I don't mean just getting to the 2nd round).

    I think with Millwall having a nice day in the sun and Palace the playoff final in the same season it will spur our manager and players on in the pursuit of wanting a taste of glory, just make sure you keep the FA cup and League Cup final dates clear next season, you have been warned!

    As we don't expect it any year we might have to change it to happen when we expect it most.

    I gave up believing we could reach a cup semi-final years ago. Changing teams and managers over the past 30 years and yet every year we lose to pony opposition. Concentrating on the league again next year.

    A Charlton Cup run, you wish for, POSLCAFC? Ha-ha! I'm still trying to rid my mind of Dagenham & Redbridge, and Gillingham, when were in the Prem! And Northwich Victoria! Jesus Christ Almighty. They were 86 places below us in the pyramid, and somehow we contrived to lose to a goal by an 18-year-old part-time barman - and it was live to the nation on terrestrial telly!

    I applaud your breezy optimism, POSLCAFC. Well, at least we aren't eligible for the Johnstone's Piss-Pot this year. Do any of our older Lifers remember the FA Cup in 1980-81? - We were in the old Third Division, so started early - I was there in that municipal athletics stadium at Harlow, won 2-0, (without googling, someone will fill in the gaps); won 2-1 at Fulham in the fourth round, then away at Ipswich, who were top of the proper first division, went down heroically, 2-0....

    Ah, happy days. A Cup run! Ha-ha!

    I think I've been to every home and a good number of away FA Cup matches in my 52 years of supporting the Addicks but I'm going to give it a wide berth next season.

    It annoys me too but at least I know that we only have four more years to wait until we get to the FA Cup Final.
