I am very seriously considering taking young Finch to see Charlton away at Sheffield United this weekend, trouble is we have not had much luck on our travels with Charlton, last season we went to Man City, for a goal less bore draw and meat and potatoe pies that had absolutely no potatoes at all, that and the stroppy mancunian female who could not understand why we were hungry after 5 hours on a coach! The season before it was Middlesborough in the FA Cup, a hideous journey for a 4-2 hammering, although one of the higlights was stopping at a quiet little transport cafe at 2am manned by one man, the 5 of us entered ordered our food and drinks, then sat back and waited and looked out on the road, the mans face when 10 full coaches of Charlton fans descended was a joy. Coupled with these memories is the fact that my beloved Charlton are playing shite! 5-3 away at Blackpool last Saturday is hardly inspiring me to splash the cash and get our sorry arses up to Sheffield! But in the back of my mind is the though, third time lucky..... so I am conducting a poll on the issue, should we stay or should we go????
