    Interesting read, but not as good as being there. YES, I really was one of the large crowd who was there  :)

    I like to register the fact that I wasn’t there or at the 1947 FA cup final. Drat and double drat.

    I was there, that is the first I have heard of orange peel being thrown, by a Charlton fan.

    It was just an amazing game.

    Like many other Charlton fans, this game took place many years before I was born.  But I was definitely there.

    I was -3 years old, watching from the East terrace (or the big side as all pwoper Charlton called it).

    On a slightly serious note, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photo from the game, are there any out there?

    My dad was there. You can’t take that away from me.

    I was there, aged 10
    In those days, you could walk all the way around the ground. I elected to stand at the end Charlton were attacking in both halves

    My dad was also there - and I think my mum too.

    I wasn’t there, but I do have my dad’s programme who was among the quarter of a million on the east that day.  Interestingly I also have the away cup game programme from a couple of weeks later that he decided to go to in case there was a repeat

    I know of 2 supporters who saw it.  Les Turner and Kevin Nolan

    I was there, and the first time I went on the pitch at The Valley as we all surged across the muddy surface to gather by the grandstand chanting "We want Summers"...and Johnny Summers duly appeared.

    I was 5 months old.

    I wasn't there...

    We have a Christmas Day fixture with Doncaster ko 11.15, that was tough on the away fans.

    @ElfsborgAddick was a ball boy that day and it was also his 30th Birthday.

    Did the pitch flood and get called off at halftime?

    The ball boy gag I'm always an easy target for.

    I still remember a lot of that 7-6 game, stood on the open end, (now Jimmy Seed end for you youngsters), with my father. Do not know crowd, but it seemed crowded to me, but I was a young teenager, at least I think at one time I was a teenager 😁
