Can anyone remember how many we took to Wembley for the last play-off final?

Well it was their first time there tbf (seems to forget that Charlton already been their twice in a Major Cup final).AddicksAddict said:
The Spanner is obviously referring to the 1999 final where nearly 50,000 of them turned up. I suspect a lot were on day release.JustFloydRoad said:

Unless someone corrects me- we took more.
They get to win the Auto Windscreens Shield cup (is it me or is that funny considering it was called that) though, cute.0 -
My late Dad and I were at Full Members Cup Final - an awful day, especially looking at the other end of Wembley, and seeing how many Blackburn had brought to the match, and then looking around at our end - felt, well, shiteJustFloydRoad said:

The point being that the spanner fan was larking about a game over 25 years ago when comparing it to a promotion charge.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

The stadium has change since then and rebuilt. If Charlton were in the Vertu Trophy (given it is the same competition) final than that crowd would be a better comparison than the play-off games.0 -
I’m a Charlton fan and went with my mates who were ludagrets, Chelsea and spurs fans , was the only game my mates would stump out money for with me haha0

Met Connor Hourahan’s (fuck knows how I’m supposed to spell that!) uncles in Borough Market after the match when we were celebrating. They were over from Ireland to watch their lad the next day!9goalswentpastperry said:
Villa were in the next day's Champo playoff final v Derby. I guess he was making a weekend of it. Still an odd choice of attire for the fella.Lordflashheart said:Weirdly, there was a bloke in a Villa tracksuit top in front of me at Wembley 2019 !!!0 -

That match was up there along with the 3-0 defeat to millwall at Selhurst as rock bottom as far as my Charlton supporting days goLordflashheart said:

Neither did I, and I went to Wembley. Couldn't be arsed with the other matches. What were the attendances? 817 or something like that.JustFloydRoad said:

Yes I agree with the staying up element - BUT, having got back into the top division after such a long time, and then getting to a Wembley final (yes, cruddy competition however) I really was on cloud 9 going to Wembley that day, only to suffer massive deflation - it was the amount of fans Blackburn brought that day, and then looking at our support on the day - we were by far the better side, but losing was a gut punch I didn’t need TBHElfsborgAddick said:Lordflashheart said:

Such a long time ago the Full Members final was, but I’m hurting - weird isn’t it !!!0 -
Pretty sure the full members came about because of the European ban, it was open to the top two divisions, although some of the bigger teams didn't bother entering. I remember feeling pretty bad after the final, mainly because I thought it would be the only time I'd see Charlton at Wembley. You had to get to a cup final in those days, then as now that was a remote possibility for CAFC. The whole afternoon was truly awful.0

Not sure if I’m proud or gutted.0 -
Let’s not mention how many we took to the first play off final against Leeds! Totally outnumbered at St Andrews- incredible we got out of there with a win and our lives !!!!2

My Wet Sham season ticket holding bestie came with us. I can say he celebrated like the best of us!0

Or how many attended the semi-final 2nd Leg at Elland Road, the most intimidating atmosphere i've experienced at an away game.Ducktapeshoerepairs said:Let’s not mention how many we took to the first play off final against Leeds!

That’s true but the other point of note is that two competitions started at the same time:shirty5 said:

The Full Members’ Cup for full members of the Football League (Divisions 1 and 2)
The Quarter Members’ Cup for quarter members of the Football League (Divisions 3 and 4)
One of these survived and bastardised into the nonsense we know today.0 -
Yes, and those same hundreds of us went to our first (old) Wembley appearances. 1-7 vs Arsenal Football League (South) Cup Final and the 3-1 vs Chelsea a year later.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

I was at both. I got married earlier on that month. I thought I wouldn't get out of Elland Road alive, until they brought the coaches in. Phew!clive said:
