I posted a few months ago regarding the existence of a Charlton supporters team, and if there wasn't one currently active, the possibility of me potentially cobbling together a team for a game.
Since then I have been in touch with the chap who runs the Dulwich Hamlet supporters team, and have now arranged a full 90minute game against them next month on the 21st. Ive got 5 Charlton fans already who have offered their services to play and Im looking for more to fill the squad. Any skill levels/ages/positions are welcome, and participation is free! Only requirement is a Charlton home shirt that youre happy to play football in.
The game will be played at Belair Park in Dulwich, and kicks off at 10.30am. The nearest train station is West Dulwich and there are changing room/shower facilities on site. Belair Park location and transport/parking details here:
southwark.gov.uk/info/461/a_to_z_of_parks/1290/belair_parkIve created a facebook event that you can add yourself to if you want to play:
https://facebook.com/events/1498295910432283/?ref=2&ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming Join the event and then post a message on the event saying who you are and what your preferred playing position is.
Otherwise just post on the thread or PM me personally here if you want to play.
If we have a ton of ppl playing we can sort out some kind of subs/rotation system on the day to ensure everyone gets on the pitch.
You never know, if the interest and enthusiasm is there is could be the start of regular games against other supporters teams.
Cheers!

many of us did this years ago, you form new friendships, have great laughs and 10-15 years on i still see at games to chat / drink with dozens of people i played with in our Charlton supporters team.
Great days.
I think we played them in the early days of CIFC over in Catford I think.
Me and a mate want to play if there's room?
Tempted nonetheless.
