Mine will be obvious to those of a certain age. Back in the 60's and beyond there was an old boy who used to wander the East Terrace selling bags of roasted peanuts (in their shell - aka monkey nuts). As he traipsed around he called out "Peanuts, tanner a bag" and every now and again he would stretch it to "Peanuts, tanner a bag - six a bag of nuts" Six being short for sixpence and tanner being a slang word for the same.

Sometimes I shouted back "how much", it seemed to annoy him

My name is Nigel and I really support Chrystal Palarse.
Addickted is ironic as I'm really here to wind all you clowns up.
I'm 42, live with my parents in Purley and my girlfriend left me in 2008 for a Border Collie. I've dressed in black for home games ever since to pay homage to her in the hope we can rekindle our relationship and enjoy Trival Pursuits and Line dancing once again.
I used to use a very nice Charlton supporting pub run by Brian Wilson on Plumstead Common but it was taken over by an idiot. I will be very happy to return when he departs.
At least you have the comfort that wouldn't happen at the football club.
At the risk of a whoosh, I've always been a bit puzzled by @cabbles / babbles / cables / bobbles or whatever.
I've looked it up on Google and it says:
Metallurgy. to cut up (iron or steel bars) for fagoting.
Fagoting
No mine is quite boring. I was at Kent Uni in Canterbury and was leaving a club called the works and was so smashed I jumped the cab queue and got into an altercation, at which point my mates just started calling me the big cab
Cabbles was developed because of a line in the office when Brent goes (I think) ‘here is he is, cocky, cockles, the big cock’ (I may have that wrong)
Anyway they just shifted it to cabbles and it’s what I’ve used ever since
Nothing too interesting just standard nickname stuff that eminates from a group of mates
@The31YearMan gets his because he committed to do 31 years of going to all the games on his 54th birthday and at 85 he says he’ll be done with Charlton.
