They reckon they can sell out the whole of The Putney End.
I like the "I was hoping for someone shite" comment!!
Last time I think we had them in the cup was at Loftarse Road, they all brought masks along to take the mick out of Sava when Charlton scored. I seem to remember we won 3-0 in the end, which put paid to that plan.

Yes they have some great fans and their stadium was always full when they played in EPL, so they should have great number of traveling fans come to watch a game against Fulham there
They had 7,416 yesterday so large swathes of empty red seats on show- Of course a big match against a Premiership team will bring their lapsed fans back for this game so they may well sell out.
They always seemed a decent bunch in the past but often took a superior view over us until they collapsed out of the Premiership. I know one of their season ticket holders and to be fair he concedes that we now play at a completely different level to them. - He was relieved to beat Brentford recently although apparently they were lucky.
Looks like a good old fashioned Cup Derby !

looks like i had better go for a seat away from my normal putney end ST seat.
Honestly....complete yawn draw. Charlton were boring in the Prem and even more irrelevant now.
They are overly confident with a few level headed fans but why shouldn't they be with the season they're are having compared to ours.
They are playing well at the moment but then again so were Peterborough when we played them and look what happened there.
They should bring a few, might pull in a few more punters being a London 'derby'.
Saturday afternoon makes perfect sense for this one. The Manchester fella's, the Gooners and one with a tad of romance can hog sunday tele and I expect Newcastle will shift to monday and we will quietly slip by............. last on the FA Cup show even.
Right off to book cheapo train tickets for the saturday so that the powers that be move it to prime time tele slot on the Sunday and I get the car which is so much more civilised these days. Engineering works all the way up the Waterloo line and fewer carriages of late have taken the edge off of trundling up through our green and pleasant land.
Actually in a state of late night confusion Monday might suit us as the Chelski, Norwich and Arsenal games will be a bit of a stretch for our current crop. Does anybody still refer to Chelski as The Pensioners ?

"I'm sure, despite what their idiot fans say, their manager and players won't take us so lightly. If they do then they'll get what's coming to them. I know 2 Fulham supporters and both are complete idiots"
Well he has me at a disadvantage - I don't know ANY Charlton fans - does anyone on here..?

I only know one Charlton fan but he lives in Thailand. Despite having a shine to the Addicks I doubt this has had any bearing on their recent form.
I seem to be in a small minority. I think we are massively underestimating this team. They are two divisions above us and they have many squad players that I would expect to walk into our first team and we probably have none that would make their bench.
Fulham are a nothing club in the Premier League due to, initially, massive investment from al Fayed, and then successive seasons of the Sky TV money. I hate them, but we need to remember that the gulf between the Premier League and the rest is so big now that we can't, realistically, expect anything other than a convincing defeat.
With the FA Cup being so far down the list of priorities of the likes of Fulham fans, and with the reduced ticket prices I doubt we will make much money either.
I'd love to have the confidence that some on here have, but thinking that we can go toe to toe with a team that was in a European Cup final a coule of seasons ago is, in my view, a little too optimistic.
Worst of all is that it gives them a chance to laud over us the fact that they are two divisions above us and have players that are worth more than our whole squad.
A good point, will we or Chelsea get moved to Sunday?????
I can't see more than 12,000 Fulham supporters turning up. Their support is pretty weak, their focus is on Premier League survival and, to put the tin hat on it, they have a surfeit of games with the Europa Cup. We'll therefore have plenty of tickets and it should be a good day out. I nearly always enjoy a day out over there, our relegation season in 2006/07 being a notable exception.
One cloud on the horizon is Chelsea also being drawn at home ( to Pompey ), which may mean that we're bounced onto the Sunday by policing requirements / the Old Bill. I can't see both games being on Saturday and Saturday would probably be more convenient for most of our supporters.
So many fulham twats on their message boards spouting about how small a club we are compared to them and how we will look forward to our cup final at craven cottage.
Yet another delusional set of supporters who think they are massive.

Every club has delusional fans though. Being a massive club wouldn't appeal to me anyway considering how many annoying United and Chelsea fans you come across, would we want them at Fulham?
Charlton are certainly a club on the up at the moment but we should beat them if we play a decent team. Under Hodgson, we often struggled against lower league opposition but this changed under Hughes where we battered them. I think the team depends on our League position. I expect a good game, cheap tickets and full house though.

Unfortunately my Son In Law is a Charlton fan !! Cue family arguments or worse jibes if we lose
The only question I want answered is who will Southfield white/red be supporting ?

And Rodney Charlton trotter.
Add my missus to the list. She was raised in Greenwich and lived 5 minutes around the corner from the Valley. Should be an interesting few weeks in the Vinnie household :011:

I know one fan, he is thinks Charlton have been given a dis-service and the fact that they ended up in League 1 is undeserved. He is very arrogant about his team and has the impression they are still a massive club, sort of similar to spam fans.
I have seen Charlton play once, against Blackburn as part of my GCSE P.E course, it was freezing and we saw a game that was thoroughly dire. I think it ended 1-1 with el Kakouri scoring with a howitzer of a free kick in about the 94th minute. That was the year they were relegated.
On the plus side the Valley is a fairly nice ground.
I think we will do them, 3-0 or so.
COYW.
The Valley used to be the biggest League ground with almost no seats and the steepest terracing (by far) that I ever experienced.
A wonderful bowl to watch football in and Charlton have usually seemed to me to be a very likeable club.

No, it was his mum who was the fan, he just got the name.
I remember us going to Villa in the cup, affraid of nobody and expecting to win and we did...
It is strange to think that in the fifties Charlton lost a lot of their grassroots support when they had the temerity to sign three or four South Africans. Many old Charlton fans couldn't tolerate this "foreign" invasion and never went to the Valley again. Imagine what they would think today when, sometimes, English players are the minority at some clubs. 092.gif

Weirdly enough last time i saw us at the Valley i bumped into a load of South Africans supporting them (i think they had a SA player, Fish??). They certainly give the brummies a run for thier money in most disgusting accent in the World award.
