Some pretty massive straws that I'm clutching at Besides, you should be more empathetic considering you're fall from grace was as bad (well worse) than ours
Charlton's average attendance 2006-2007 - 26,195 2007-2008 - 23,159 down 3,000 2008-2009 - 20,894 down 2,000 2009-2010 - 17,407 down 3,000 2010-2011 - 15,582 down 2,000 I see a pattern emerging Not long till your back to your true crowds of the 80s 1981-1982 - 7.206 1982-1983 - 6.649 1983-1984 - 7.213 1984-1985 - 6.732 1985-1986 - 5.104 Big club my arse
Our fall from grace,yes well documented, sorry for yous,why? Don't reckon many fans round the country shed a tear when we went down.
2006-2007 - 9233 2007-2008 - 8668 2008-2009 - 8940 2009-2010 - 10834 2010-2011 - 12438 Do the math (I'll help you out if you need it) Amusing that you have to go back 25-30 years to find when our attendances were lower than yours
Just done the maths and it tells me that in the last 5 years, your average crowd has gone down 10,000 and ours has gon up by 3,000. Shows that 1 club is on the up and the other is stuck in quicksand
this year, our season ticket sales have equalled last years so looks as though the slide as bottom'd off. your in a league above and still have a lower attendance than us. if we go up, it wont even be a competition to whose gates are bigger. simples.
Shows despite our decline- we are still bigger. Your club would LOVE to achieve half of what we have done- now I know thats going to make some of you choke on your morning pint of Carling, or briefly stop hustling old ladies of 20p for bus fare, but it's true. As I said- 'Wall aspire to win some friendlies, have a jolly, and consolidate themselves in mid table Championship. Now, whilst we would take the Championship side, we are constantly thinking of the Premiership (thats one league above the C'ship in case you guys aren't actually aware). As I said, we'll pop in on the ol' little Den on our way back to the top
Come on boys- this friendly is the biggest game of your season. Alan Dunne getting us to appear was a coup for you boys!
