I was born near Norwich, brought up near Lincoln, went to college at Leicester and lived near Charlton which is when I began going to matches having had a change of heart about football and sport in general as part of an early midlife crisis. I now live in Cornwall within 45 minutes of Plymouth, my mum was born in Burnley and my dad was born in Stirling. Any suggestions Come on you smart arses how much ammunition do you need?0

Oh and anyone who suggests I suppport Stirling Albion can go er.......boil your head, it's depressing enough supporting Charlton.0

I think that, more important than when football was invented, is when Charlton were founded. So, where were your family - sorry, your friend's family - in the Summer of 1905?[cite]Posted By: Dave Rudd[/cite]Not me, you understand, but a friend. Yes, a friend ... that's it.
What if ... you were researching your family tree and discovered that, when football was invented, all your family came from a different part of the country?
Don't you have to support that local club? Genetically, I mean.
My friend is keen to know.0 -

Based on Dave Rudd's reckoning I'm afraid it's Stirling ;-)0 -

That's easy ... in 1905, my family (err .. friend's family) lived in Lower Wood Street (that's Woodhill now)... about two minutes walk (OK, fast walk) from Siemens Meadow so, by that reckoning, I'm home and dry. Err ... my friend is home and dry.0 -
[cite]Posted By: JT[/cite]Someone found in our family tree recently that one of my great relatives was trialed for murder at the Old Bailey.
Does that make me a murderer? I think it does.
You can't just leave us hanging (no pun intended) JT, what was the verdict?0 -
Someone did a family tree for my granddad, it turns out our family originates from Bermondsey. To say the least we weren't best pleased.0

Woolwich Arsenal....the ground was quite close to Plumstead station/Plumstead side as opposed to the Woolwich side....there were some articles on it in the Mercury a few years back...they showed pictures of the ground and some of the terracing which remains in some peoples gardens.0

Is it true that Woolwich Arsenal was formed in the Lord Derby pub outside Plumstead Station?0

Scoham, very interesting link to wiki. This is one of those things that have periodically intrigued me over the years and now I understand.
However, I would suggest that such a chart would be absolutely useless in say Norfolk or Suffolk ?0 -

... and that good enough for me (and my friend) too0 -
On the English/Scottish side of my family I can trace Charlton back to my great Grandad (born in 1905!) - he was going when he was young, so my lot were CAFC from pretty early on. Funnily enough, my Spanish side are from all over the country, but all my English side are Sarf-East London and Kent going back generations. The Scottish part of me is from Paisley but... well, would YOU want to support St Mirren?
