    Surprised Rolls Royce haven’t done it before. There must be a huge untapped market of football fans unsure of where to buy their jet engines from who would surely be swayed by seeing the logo on the shirts of a third tier club on ITV4. Especially seeing as Rolls Royce is a brand virtually nobody has heard of before.

    There's something going on at our club that gives me the Arthur Cox, Jim Smith vibe.
    I can't put my finger on it, but something instinctive in me tells me we're entering a new exciting chapter.
    The planets seem to be aligning.
    Something in my water ( and hopefully it's not cystitis) tells me we're at the beginning of something big, and I've not felt this way for many a year.
    I feel something brewing. Don't ask me how, I just feel it....
    I think we're at the outset of a huge uplift for our club.
    Remember where you heard it first... ?

    Forsyth crosses in from the left, goes past two derby frontmen, Knight picks it up at far post and taps in.
    GOOOALL!

    Don't know who scored. Watching through Bet365's 2D visualisation.
    It's like watching battleships, circa 1970.

    Yeah, for similar reasons to Bury, the mutual support we have with Blackpool is special.

    Dislike the least = like the most = Derby.
     
    Have an ounce or two of affection or more sympathy really for Bury, or rather what’s left of them, for obvious reasons that probably don't need to be explained here after what we've been through.

    Founded in 1905, and named after the actor, Charlton Heston. Their nickname is "The Addicks".  Not "Addicts", nor "Haddocks". Ike & Tina's grandfather, Bert Turner, scored for both teams (Doh!), as they became the first side to lose an FA Cup Final (a.e.t.) this side of WW2.  This got them so riled, they went back the following year... and won!... a.e.t!  So that shows determination, if nowt else.  Have a like, Charlton. ? They play their home games at "The Valley", which they always have done... apart from the numerous times when they played their home matches elsewhere. The Valley once had a capacity... and a full house to match (v Villa in t'cup, late 30's)... of 75,000. The former East Stand terrace was officially "Bleedin' Massive"... a fact that I can vouch for personally, as I have stood on there, albeit everything was crumbling around me by that stage (Late 70's).  (After I had paid at the gate, I had the option of unreserved seating behind the goal, or terracing... I chose to mix it up a bit, and do both)!  How cool is that! Their seats are more red than pink, so credit for that. Rodney Trotter is named after the club ("Alright, Dave"!) Where as Citizen Smith wasn't REALLY a Fulham fan, that bloke in Brush Strokes REALLY was a Charlton fan!    The club is related to Crystal Palace by marriage. They're a bit meh, but mean no harm, so they'll do for me. Hope they lose today, mind!  
     
     
     
    *Of the above itemised facts, some are more factual than others.
