Well at least the football was better. It may be more to do with a half-hearted West Brom than a stunning display by us. But it was more enjoyable to watch. For the longer term there was a satisfying debut from Kelly Youga, and Count Basey looked good when he came on.
On third round day though, the drama was always going to elsewhere. And so was our regular crowd. You can't tell me that the cup hasn't lost its magic.
Somehow it was inevitable that the game would end in a draw and a replay. It will now be a real challenge for me to get to the replay. I've already used up my holiday and money on trips to Hull, Cardiff and Bristol. My 100% attendance record is inserious jeopardy. I'll just have to see how it goes at work this week.
Yesterday was the first home game travelled to by car. Whilst it's more comfortable by car the journey home took about 15 minutes longer. We picked Kim up on the way as Bully had man flu and stayed in bed. A pity we couldn't shift his ticket for him. Maybe he'll be up for the replay.
Up The Addicks!

This is a new site aimed primarily at Charlton supporters in Essex. There's loads of sites where you can get topical info about the club. But this blog is written by Addicks fans in Essex and will hopefully be of interest to those that go to games, home and away.
Onwards and upwards
Another season begins, but this one offers the prospect of winning something. If we get promoted this season we'll face another season of struggle next term. 40 points will be the aim. But for now let's enjoy this season. Let's enjoy winning a few games, a bit of success.
Robin Rance has been a loyal supporter - home and away - for many years. It's always been an ambition to go to every game in a season, and this year is it. Robin is booking days off and calling in favours to get to every game this season. Even though he doesn't drive!
To add to the challenge, Robin has met a girl studying in Sheffield. He has to manage that relationship as well. Problem is, she's gone back to Canada to finish her studies. And Robin has promised to go and see her in Canada during the season.
Visit this site on a regular basis to see how Robin is getting on.
