July 2020 saw Charlton relegated to the third tier of English football and after a few different managers and 2/3 different ownerships, the Addicks find themselves back in the Championship on Saturday lunchtime at the Valley

Since that Sunday Bank Holiday Weekend win v Leyton Orient at Wembley, Charlton have been very busy in the transfer market bringing 9 new players in. Championship experience from Luton Town with Kaminski, Bell and Burke and Rankin-Costello from Blackburn. Plus quality players from League One last season in Apter, Carey, Knibbs, Kelman and Oloafe. Only Small has departed and Charlton look equipped to give the Championship their best shot and first of all get enough points on the board to avoid relegation back to League One.

The Championship feels like the natural level for the club, however they will need time to adjust but under an experienced manager in Nathan Jones they won’t be found lacking in effort and being the best version of themselves.

A crowd of over 22 Thousand is expected (Over 11,250 plus Season Ticket Holders) this saturday lunchtime and bar the sold out away stand, they will be in full voice urging the team onto hopefully a win to kick off the season.
