My 16yo loved every second of it....parenting job done.
Full marks. Was on a train out of Waterloo just after midnight and a lad of 12 proudly opened his hand to show me half a dozen blades of grass he’d been holding for the past hour and a half 😀

Did anyone get a photo of the guy in the electric wheelchair who made it onto the pitch before most able bodied invaders? Gave me the biggest smile of the night. He was absolutely buzzing. Good on him!
On Tuesday there will be an angry communication from Roland “thousands (2%) of soft terrorists trampled the grass ...oh and congratulations Manchester City for a great season {...}”

I think he's a professional photographer, I've seen at the side of the pitch taking photos during games
Scenes, personality , so rare for the beige support of ours, love it , i was second back row , got down on the pitch with two of mine and the little one was flossing like a nutbag proper mental jumping around like loons , I was shattered, what with 90+ Mins standing and bouncing at Doncaster and last nights effort I don’t think I’ll be fit enough for the final ...
Im sorry , I’m as sporting and as fair as anyone but some of them mug Donny players (not all of em ) were proper giving it so bollox to them , no more mr nice guy !
Talking of mugs too many helms lobbing shit on the pitch now someone even lobbed something when Donny taking a penalty , I think it distracted Dillon more than the scoring penalty taker !!
Beige support? Maybe back in the day but not this generation. Up there with the best support in the league
Shame they could not muster a 'we want roland out'. Game over so would not afect the team. Disappointing.
Sorry Large, you've totally lost the plot if you couldn't enjoy one of the greatest Charlton moments in your living memory. Such a shame you didn't come to see the game to deny £7 to a billionaire.
The amazing scenes on the pitch and singing at the end, directed to the North Stand were just perfect! Showed the unity of fans, as well as respect for the noisy end that keeps the rest of us and the team going. Big tears of joy in my eyes whilst watching. No need for anyone in the Directors' box Friday night, it was the fans' night.
Pure unadulterated joy and scenes I've never winessed before! I was in the very back row of the east stand, but was on the pitch sbout 15 seconds after the last pen. Have never moved so fast! Brilliant brilliant atmosphere :-)
It was a game that pulled your emotions apart to a point that many, actually most, of us may have accepted the inevitability of defeat. It is true, we haven't won anything yet but sometimes you are kicked in the privates so hard and so often that when something good finally happens, there is an outpouring of joy and elation. I think that is what we saw on Friday.
Whatever happens from here, Bowyer and all the lads deserve our gratitude.
Was so nice to see so many happy smiling faces. A little old fella with a walking aid that I passed on the way out smiled at me and punched the air. That’s what this club means to us, it’s ours and I think we went a long way to taking it back on Friday night. Unity !
The passion of the support on Friday night, including the pitch invasion, can only be a good thing in regards to potential buyers watching, if any exist / existed in the first place.
Had a message from a 70 something Addick I met last week, and watched the first leg in the bar with. He was on the pitch having a ball too... You are never too old!

It showed the potential is more than they might have thought. But Roland would have to lower the price to something reasonable all the same. We will all have a sense of what a reasonable price should be and nobody would be thinking anything near what Roland seems to be wanting.
If he doesn't sell us, we can hope that he identifies the best way to sell us at a price that he wants. Certainly, if we miss out next week and lose half the team and management, a sale will never be further away. If we win, what happens immediately afterwards could determine whether we spend upcoming years looking upwards or downwards. So lets hope the joy of Friday was a prelude to happier times.
Never thought i’d see the day when there was standing all game from Charlton in the Covered End, some of the Quadrant, some of the east and I think the JS. I assume the upper north were mostly up too?
Added to the recent away games and the pitch invasion, our support does finally appear to have a personality!!
I was in the East and we stood for the whole game. I think this was my favourite ever game as a Charlton fan beating Spurs away in the third round of the cup in I think 84 or 85.

And we lost the actual match!!
Didn’t we draw the game at WHL and lost the replay at The Valley?

Spot on mate! Even a block in the west was stood up if I remember rightly, said the same thing to our lot the culture of our support has changed over the last few years or so, maybe it’s going through the shite that does it I don’t know but long may it continue.

Beautiful scenes.
Fiver I owe him.
