I've been working on a set of historical timelines that chart the history of the club on a year by year basis. Five are done with two to go. If anyone is interested, you can see them from here:
I expect you're right there Welsh Addick - which is especially bad as I've been moaning about the club's proof reading ;-)
If anyone spots any particular errors, I'd love to know so that I can correct them. The trouble I've found with doing your own proofreading is that you read what you think you've written rather than what's really there.
Interesting stuff, but I don't think that it's true that we were not on TV between '47 and '66. There's definitely footage around (centenary DVD?) of a 50s game v Man C (complete with commentary by the great and still-alive Cliff Michelmore)

Wonderful stuff. Just one JS correction: he was sacked on 3rd Sept ‘56, not 1st. Resulted in my mum going into labour 3 weeks early because of the shock. His sacking was front page news at the time, unusual for a ‘sports’ story.

Thanks very much for the feedback James. I've added a correction.
Re-doing the chart will need a big change in motivation though. The sort of motivation that will only come with a change in club ownership.
Apologies if this question is in the wrong thread, please move it if there is a correct one for questions.
During Charlton's first season in the Southern Suburban League Eastern section (1911-12) it is recorded that we won 19 games and only lost 1. Does anybody know who beat us that season in the SSL?

Absolutely superb, sir. Deserves the most accessible format/platform (s) possible to reach the maximum audience. Total congratulations!!
One small typo: it should be 'careful' in the introduction line on the 1993-2006 page?
