Can anyone remind me which year was the organised coach convoy to the away game at Forest, probably around the end of the 1990s as RTM Radio was still on air at the time? Thanks!
Was it the year we won the league? A win would have secured the title. John Terrybwas sent off for them and then Chris Bart williams scored a late pen to equalise.

Not a great day. Our coach was involved in the shunt of our supporters coaches. Lot of walking wounded that afternoon.
I was in the 2nd or third coach of the convoy and remember seeing the woman approach the crossing and press the wait button. I can just imagine when the lights changed and she thought she could cross and the mayhem that caused in the following coach convoy travelling at speed. Luckily no coach hit her, or anyone caught up in the hard braking was seriously hurt (as far as I know).

The year we won Division One. 2000. Yellow day and the club printed t-shirts that said ‘Bye Bye to the Nationwide’ as we only needed to win to get promoted and in typical Charlton fashion, drew. Coach coaches on the way.

I i was on a coach there. Wasn’t involved in a crash. I don’t knowing if my memory is misleading me but didn’t Svensson give away the penalty? I remember Hunt scoring.

Commentator said Barness. But whoever, it was the number 2
Whose the guy with the 'C' on his shirt middle right picture.
Remember talking to him at Bournemouth many years ago in the cup match which we lost on pens. Sure he was with Vince from here and John (cant remember his surname).
Remember the stewards that day were very good. We (son and me) had seats right on the front row which was beneath pitch level. They could see we were unhappy with the view and let us sit on the corner quadrant that was empty.
Didnt get on well with the person running the coaches from Basingstoke and he always distributed shitty tickets to my son and me, so we started going on our own way, he didnt like it as coaches have to be viable to run of course but thats what you get when you try and do someone over.
As said stopped the coaches outside of Nottingham and made us sit onboard for an hour or more before straight to the ground and no pub. Remember , speaking with a Policeman and saying officer this is Charlton. Good job you didn’t let us loose on the City. The library would have been taken and lots of old ladies helped across the road…….
I was steward on the last mop up coach, so we were the last to leave Charlton and everyone was waiting in the lay-by for us to arrive for the drive into the stadium, so thanks everyone for waiting
