If the Burnley fans had not invaded the pitch at the final whistle then I personally don't think the majority of Charlton fans who got on the pitch would have got on there. The old distraction tactic has worked.
Good to see us on there but it just reminded me of the pictures against Stoke in 1985.
One half is glad we are fighting and will keep on fighting, but the other half if heartbroken of what my football club has become
Totally agree with the majority of the previous posts. They haven't got the best of reputations and we've a certain history with them misbehaving in the past. However, as I was handing out the alternative programmes today they were to a man/woman supportive. They have gone up in my estimations and I congratulate them on their Championship win and wish them well for next season.
Would like to thank Charlton fans today. Thought you all showed your class. I was worried before the match that you may spoil our hopeful celebration of the title, how wrong was I? Very gracious and I sincerely hope you manage to oust the owners and get Charlton back to where they belong. Good luck and cheers.
Yes well played the covers end keeping it down until we had properly lost. Me and the pigs thought that would happen when we were 2-0 down but it only really notched up when we were down by 3 and the game was over.
Great support from both sides only let down by the security approach which was terrible and probably in some instances unlawful.
Wasn't at the game today, but enjoyed my visits in the past. Good to hear of all the positive interaction with both sets of fans today. My best wishes for you in the future and, also hope you get your clubback from the pillocks soon.
@UptheClarets congratulations on your championship win.
We had loads of Burnley near us, all good people and we were happy to let them into our areas of the ground.
The police went mental about your pitch invasion followed by Charlton coming in as well. But there was no trouble as far as I know inside or outside the ground between our fans.
The most dangerous I felt was getting off the train after one stop near my house and three teenage Millwall got off at the same place and we're giving it the big fuck off Charlton, wanker signs at the train and then walked in front of us nearly down my road. Then it was just me and the boy in full Charlton colours and I was having to think about how, if they kicked off, I would win with me and my 6 year old.
Thanks for the kind words fellas, a lot of Burnley fans said even before the game they really felt for your cause as we have obviously been almost run into the ground ourselves by bad owners.
we get some bad press sometimes, often undeserved, but we are a passionate bunch and have a lot of respect for good, old traditional clubs like yourselves. In a lot of ways you are the Southern version of ourselves.
Really hope you get shut of those wankers than are ruining your club and get back to where you belong. Which certainly isn't league 1.
Sat in the east stand today and everyone around me were a total credit to CAFC Wishing you all the very best for the future and so hope you reclaim your great club back sooner rather than later

Great post Clare. You lot have mellowed a lot since the days of McMinn, Conroy and Eyres. Best of luck next year to your well run club.
spoke to a few before in the pub, then on the pitch and then after the game in the pub. All sympathetic of our situation and decent blokes. May have been different if it went pear shaped for them.
Ive registered today to wish you all the best, both for next season, and in your continued and hopefully successful protest against those currently in charge at Charlton.
There is often this north side divide nonsense spouted, but decent fans, wherever we they may be from, who support their club through thick and thin, have much more in common than a postcode, wherever that may be.
We had worries ahead of the game that your protests may prevent our first title for all too long, but that didn't mean that we didn't support your cause. Charlton, in my eyes, is a proper football club and the continued dedication to taking back your club only goes to prove that!
I'm hoping that next season, we finally have the staying power for a second season in the PL and you a) get back up at the first attempt and get rid of the bloody Belgians.
Good luck addicks and looking forward to our next visit, hopefully with us both in the top division.

I'm not sure it's Clare T Moffit, my instincts tells me Claret Moffitt. ;-)
Cheers Burnley guys, well done on your promotion. Best team is always on top at the end of the season, that is you guys. Enjoy your weekends and good luck next season!
Ended up staggering into the Jimmy Seed stand pissed up with Choice as the pitch invasion was coming to an end, not been in there for 20+ years forgot how good the view is from the middle. Burnley fans were very good, but couldn't stay in there for too long listening to the celebration. Good luck in the top league Burnley.
Am so glad that the Burnley fans took to the pitch. That afforded us the opportunity to exploit the gaps in 'security' and led to the VERY satisfying spectacle of Home and Away uniting in mutual support - often a nightmare for both management and police. So often the fists fly when tribalism triumphs. Not so today. We applauded Burnley and Burnley applauded us. One team go up, the other go down. No matter at 2.30pm yesterday. Common decency prevailed and we - the fans - are all the stronger for it. Good luck, Burnley. Duchatelet Out.

Mate there is a North South divide, Brighton joined on a peaceful march, you invaded our pitch!!!!!!
Brilliant scenes at the end of the game, I've been trying to explain what happened to an American friend and he can't understand why two sets of fans invaded a pitch and didn't fight!
Good luck next year,splash some of the profit and send the palace down
I thought the Burnley fans today were a credit to football. Sang non stop in support of their team, but also I'm sure I heard them singing "We want Roland Out" as well. And they can be proud of a well run club, good manager, justifiably winning the title. (That used to be us and now we are so far away from that it is sickening). Good luck in the Prem.

Edgeley thought he was in there. You've pissed on his chips.
Blimey. Lets not go overboard. It's easy to sympathise with another clubs plight as you tonk them 3-0 at their place whilst clinching the title and all the riches that come with premiership football. But anyone thinking that if roles were reversed we would've been treated the same up there then they are living in a cuckoo clock.

You should have tied one of your 6 year lad's arms behind his back and warned him to go easy on the 3 mouthy tossers or you'd have to step in and stop him
Another claret here....just signed up to say what a credit your fans were yesterday. The sight of charlton fans walking up to the away end to applaud us was fantastic. Must be difficult in the circumstances seeing another team celebrating at your own ground but I hope that we came across as respectful anyway. Thanks for delaying your protests til after the game. Brilliant scenes seeing both sets of fans joining in with protest on the pitch. We joined in with quite a few of your chants during the game too. I was appalled at the stewards who took hundreds of those posters off us as we entered the ground. Anyway good luck for next season. You've looked too good a side to be relegated in the last few games that I've watched.

"Good Afternoon, Thank you for your passionate but respectful demonstrations yesterday and not spoiling the day for us Burnley fans. Charlton fans have seriously gone up in my estimations now. The way how both sets of supporters applauded each other at the end of the game showed mutual respect. I sympathise with the pain you are going through and I hope it is sorted for you guys very soon. I hope to see Burnley play Charlton again again very soon and let's hope it's in the Premier League. I will be watching for your scores next season and wish you a speedy return. Kind Regards Nigel Clay"

I hate Belgium

Your response to our club today was so respectful and I thank you for that. I hope you felt we showed you the same respect.
I can confirm that stewards were confiscating the Duchalet Out posters from us as we went in to the ground.
Best of luck with you fight, you deserve much better.

Never a moment of that during or after the game.
Well done Burnley.
