Match Day Thread Charlton v Orient, 25/5/25 Play-Off Final

I'm waiting on a message from my two pals to see if they want to go ahead.

Are there definitely tickets going on CL?

 

Being advertised through the members only section. As we speak there are meant to be some.

 

I'll check it out. Ta very much.

 

You will NOT be able to as it is a members only thread.

You're not registered so you will not be able to view it.

 

Ah, I see.

Could I join up, then view the thread or would that be taking the p***?

 

I’ve been busy ! , new granddaughter born Monday and been doing my grandfather duties

 

Congratulations to all of the Smudger clan

 

Charlton to win in extra time .
You heard it here first

 

Hope so, but I fancy Orient.

The underdog with nothing to lose, and in sparkling form.

 

Must say I agree with Elfs.
Heart says Charlton, but my heart has been by the events of the last 10 years at the Club.
Pessimistic old head says Orient.

Still, I had plenty of doubts in 2019, which seemed justified when we went a very silly goal down. But was very happy to be wrong that day

 

Aberdeen - Scottish Cup
Sunderland - Championship play-off Final
Arsenal - Women's Champions League

Seems to be the year of the underdog...

 

That’s good I’ve always considered us the underdogs

 

Will be downing pints in the Greenman if anyone’s about - drinks are Elfs

 

Compared to Leyton Orient? How far we have fallen.
Seriously though, I know what you mean.

CAFC is now a lot smaller than it's legacy.
A 1990's Premiership stadium (rented now rather than owned) and 40,000+ fans going to Wembley.

We cast a big shadow, but to see it we have to look behind us.

 

Bookies have us as favourites

 

Nerves are starting to kick in at last. We'll be so gutted if we lose and have to spend another season in L1. I don't see us as favourites, the O's won their last 6 league games and will probably do the bulk of the early attacking. I'm having a pint at London Bridge after the game with an Orient fan so one of us will be happy.

 

I'm ecstatic able to view it tonight via being sports here in Sydney at 10pm our time.

Here's hoping, have a good night all, we got this.

 

On route now guys - enjoy all

 

Tight git o Ly put

37p behind the bar !

 

Good luck

Hope you get that promotion today.
