Both clubs were forced from their homes in face of supporter opposition, including centre circle pitch invasions. Both dislike Palace.

Both sets of fans formed political parties to stand in local council elections, whilst fighting for planning permission. The Valley party & The Seagulls party.

Mickey Bennett - Two spells with Charlton and one rather forgettable one with us at Gillingham

I once watched Charlton fan Glenn Tilbrook play in The Concorde, which is also where Albion fan FBS played the final gig.

Weird eh, now THAT'S a connection.

Jackie managed Sheffield Wednesday in the 1983 semi!

Zak Ansah ... a Charlton development squad player is Andy Ansah's son ....

So I take it that Andy's no longer the Ansah and has passed that mantle on to Zak.
