The number nine looks like Dick Plumb which would mean 1970 to 1972. Given the state of the pitch I would say it is late on in the season, so 1971 or 1972.
I would guess that the fourth player of ours in the distance is Phil Warman in what was a particularly hairy period of his. Assuming it was Carlisle then the game was played on 22nd January 1972 and the result was 1-1
Definitely Carlisle and from their and our players it has to be 22 Jan 72
Thanks for all the help
Now for the other pic
Great team, my early Charlton following team, I started in 69.
Dietmar Bruck was featured in the opening credits of Match of The Day for a season, sadly as a Coventry player. John Dunn was the player who introduced me to shithousery!
Tracy, Flannagan, Went, Shipperley that team warms the cockles of my heart!
I was at that game - relegation season crowd just over 8k and to think just 3 yrs earlier we we played in front of average home crowds of 18k and had 3 home crowds of over 30k

Exactly, the great team of three years earlier had been wrecked with lightweights like Bruck, Bond, Davies, Plumb & Rogers brought in. Not a patch on the likes of Reeves, Campbell, Moore, Tees & Gregory who they had replaced

Eamonn Rogers in the background.
Having seen the teams that would be seem to be correct given the player is not on the left side.
The one stand out thing for me is not just each side had only one sub but neither team used one. Yes I appreciate the arguments that the game is more physical from an athletic and stamina perspective (but perhaps not from the view of the challenges that were allowed then and aren't now) but when was the last time anyone went to a game where there were no subs? If we take that argument to the nth degree then, presumably, one day ten subs will be allowed?
Found in the museum's huge pile of unsorted photos
Who are the away side and when is it?
Early 70s we think but not sure
Going a little off topic on this but that photo sort of reminds me of how the shirt colours in those years always seemed to be much richer than their modern equivalents. Obviously you can’t go by the photograph’s colouring itself but it does give a reasonable reflection of how football shirts actually were a deep and rich red, or blue, or white etc on cotton, at least at the start of the season. Today’s versions look totally uninspiring. For obvious reasons probably the 68/69 kit is my all time favourite.
Off topic, but in about 1993 I was playing for quite a good Sunday League team in the North Kent Sunday League - we had a top of the table clash against a team called White Post, which had a number of non-league players, incl Gary Aldous who managed Gravesend & Northfleet - we won 3-2 - I was playing centre mid first half, went to my normal position of centre forward 2nd half
I only found out earlier this year that Phil Warman was playing for White Post that day - I played against a Charlton legend, and didn’t even know 😂
I was a rather aggressive player, who liked a strong tackle, so maybe I upended him a few times !!!
Surely that’s a bus ticket roll lifted from a conductors stash located in the luggage cubby hole near the back of the bus ? They were always the best to throw from near the back of the covered end, allegedly, as one could get more distance. Obviously not necessarily something that would have been known by those in the museum as they probably would have been more used to the single ticket system of their younger days which the conductors would have clipped.

I think back then a sub could only be used to replace an injured player, of course nothing to stop a player feigning injury but I think by & large clubs stuck to the rules & football was a world away from what we see these days, (sadly)

No, it doesn't but on twitter people have ID it as Carlisle

Surprised to see Gordon Hurst with hair.
WBA perhaps.
