Mid 70's? Half time pitch invasion against Sunderland that sort of petered out when they got on the pitch to. If remember rightly our invasion was in response to theirs.
Definitely a personality aspect involved as far as Charlton are concerned. Look around you at the next home game, there really aren't many people you would look at and say they would have it in them to go running on a pitch.
I was at the Carlisle game, and even that wasn't particularly strong as far as promotion pitch invasions go.

Me too. There's a great video that someone recorded on their phone of the invasion and you can hear a Charlton fan booing and chanting off, off, off!

Yeh, but you had to be there to shout off, off, off! :-)
I think after the playoffs only us and Fulham will be the only 2 London league clubs who haven't played at the new Wembley, unless you also count AFC Wimbledon.

My mate got ejected because of that & we saw him getting carted off again the next day on The Big Match.
Orient style!! Can't imagine that down the valley - even our oldies are less passionate :-)
Ah bless them
Bill and Maureen Measure were identified and interviewed on Talk Sport this morning by Colin Murray.
It is worth listening to especially the end when Murray asks for a follow up interview and Maureen says it will have to be timed to fit in with her Yoga Teaching.
now if we invade the pitch on the 17th minute in a game between us and Bolton on a Saturday in September then I'll be surprised.
*I now realise we can't do this as I have just planned it. but you get what I mean. (see you out in the centre circle on Saturday 13th of September. Bolton won't know what hit em)

Often get that stealers wheel feeling in the East Stand, Clowns to the left of me,jokers to the right.
with a pitch invasion you have just got to seize the moment. Its a shit or bust situation. Just go for it...
I love a pitch invasion but only one I've seen was the wolves game in 96 and like someone said no one really knew what to do. The recent ones at Orient and Man City were great.
My favourite was when Man City got promoted at Blackburn around 2000 and filled the pitch. Doing it on your own pitch is one thing but filling the pitch away from home is a different level.
Didnt some bloke strip and run on to the pitch against Aston Villa (?) in our first Premier League year... Am sure they waved themselves in front of the opposition Goalkeeper who just stood there as still as a statue...

when one goes on then the sheep will follow...
Just a bit awkward (Like for that bloke who ran on to the pitch after we won the League One title against MK Dons) when those sheep dont follow
Rotherham fans shot their bolt early with the pitch invasion........
They have a fantastic invasion when they won promotion to League one they were already on the pitch by the time they scored their second! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_o_mkigdcc

Decent pitch invasion at the end of this thrashing for us at Maine Road. This is still one of my favourite Charlton related memories and when the 4th and 5th goals went in within about a minute of each other, the roof nearly came off the place.
I'm sure we all spilled onto the pitch after beating Preston at the Valley in '75 to clinch promotion to Division 2. In fact we definitely did. So, we're looking at a once in every 40 years event!
