The old boy with a brazier, who used to sell roasted chestnuts on the corner of Floyd Road.
Terraces.
Floodlight pylons that presented an irresistible climbing challenge to any nine year old boy worth his salt.
That lovely old four gabled main stand.
The mobile food van that used to sell the best hot dogs in the world (well, by 1960's standards, anyway)
The peanut vendor that used to walk around the edge of the pitch at half time shouting "Peanuts, tanner a bag"
I could go on but I won't. Too many memories2 -
The old main stand looked great from the East terrace, the new ones just don't have the same appeal to me.1

scenes like these. Not sure why everyone is laughing but this was the good old days when people were stoic and didn't moan non-stop about everything, you could leave you front door open and wibble, wibble

Great pic...reminds me also miss old bill in proper uniforms (with medals). I too remember the half time peanut seller. You would lob the sixpence at him and the bag came whizzing back. He was accurate usually but saw a couple of accidents and people rubbing their heads. Don't miss the pitch side fencing and those bloody awful toilets behind the North stand.0

No like the screamer against Doncaster in rearranged game last season.
Also decent goals against Brum, Sheff Wed and Blackburn, not to mention
great last minute equaliser against Rochdale when we won league 1
by a mile, doubt if you saw any of those goals!0 -

I remember my grandad telling me about this incident. The little lad was being put back in the crowd after he had run onto the pitch wearing a hand drawn 'bassbuds' shirt and taken a selfie with Sam Bartram, which held the game up for several minutes as his tripod was a bid wonky and he was having trouble getting the right exposure on his Voightlander V6.Henry Irving said:scenes like these.

Proper goal-nets (which allow the ball to nestle....).
Floodlight pylons.
Terracing.
A proper goalmouth scramble resulting in a Charlton goal. Lots of prone defenders with preferably one of them in the back of the net with the ball.

Quite offensive comment!!cafctom said:Decent firefighters.
My son is a firefighter, only the other week HE went into a burning flat and pulled out four people, three young children and their Mum. Thankfully he managed to get them all to the paramedics quickly and they all survived without serious injuries. I suggest "mate" you think twice before making such a crass comment. Just to add, when he told me what had happened I told him how proud of him I was...........his reply was "its my job"
