Yes, how did people manage to keep themselves away from that beautiful football stadium? Somewhere between the corrugated iron backdrop, amongst the football conducive scenery of feeling like you're in someone's garden, and with a large gap between you and the pitch imploring you to keep out, my heart lies.
But I'll also assume you only made that 'pony' comment because of the horse balloon. Good one
I sympathise with Oohaa here... I mean with a team in our postion how we couldn't sell out those green plastic garden chairs at the front is outrageous !
Difficult to understand how they could have fitted in another 450 people, which is the difference between the published figure and the total available. Even if there were 50 vacant seats, that's another 400 on the terrace. Rather you than me.

TBF, it's usually me saying that. However, we moved towards the exit just before full time & the terrace to the right of the goal, as you look at the pitch probably had about 50 people on it. If the bit behing the goal holds 800 (plus 200 on the side & 300 in the seats), you probably could have got another 400 in there at a squeeze (as it was 2 years ago).
Surprising the number of older supporters we have travelling to long distance away matches these days.
Not so many years ago, it seemed that the majority of away supporters were under-30s
Of course those under-30s of years past are the 40s, 50s and 60s today, and are still doing the away games!
Oggy, it's something to do with Exeter. It was similar the last 2 seasons as I'm sure you know. It's the only away game that seems to attract lesser 15-25's & loads more 45+. I said the same on Saturday.
Great photos, brought back some good memories! We used to live around the corner from SJP and attend games regularly. Always a little lively when Cardiff or Plymouth came to town! Looks a bit more 21st Century since they redeveloped the Big bank & the Cowshed. Probably lost a little charactor as a result. Hope they avoid the drop.

Of course the usual suspects will tell you that it's crap - but it's not.

There's a few Charlton Lifers in here, plus Charlton Tweeters. And Headphones Norm!
