Charlton supporters have the uk's smallest penises, this is due to an insular type of evolution, which has seen their arses grow double the normal size, due to the amount of talking done out of them.

Bert Jackman, who is Charlton's oldest supporter at 102 years old, still masturbates twice before every home game and is too afraid break this superstition.

The first match played at the old Valley was in September 1919. In 1923 Charlton moved to The Mount Stadium in Catford as part of a proposed merger with Catford Southend Football Club.

A recent poll of fans of the 91 Premiership and League clubs (the filthy Franchise doesn't count, so their 'fans' were not asked) awarded the title of Most Pain in the Arse Ground to Get To to the Valley. A trip there by public transport from anywhere outside the M25 requires at least 7 changes and 5 different modes of transport. And it's worse for car drivers. One group that set off from Leicester in 1992 is reported still to be negotiating the Blackwall Tunnel Approach.
Another accolade that Charlton vies for, along with Crystal Palace, is Most Nondescript London Suburb. This is always a closely fought contest.

Charlton Athletic were originally a ditch pole vault team that only switched to football when the Thames got too wide. The Baldicoot family from Ashington in Northumberland were so impressed with Charlton winning Division 3 in 1929 they changed their name by deed poll - both Bobby and Jackie went on to win world cup winning medals with England in 1966 - FACT

According to a football league survey, Charlton are the most family of all the family clubs, and have banned any fans who do not have facepaint on from attending the home leg of the Play-offs - FACT
