| Charlton Athletic Football Club (a local club for local people) is currently in the Coca Cola Championship but will be relegated at the end of the 2008/09 season to League 1. === History === The club was founded in 1905 and joined the Football League in 1921. The greatest achievement was to win the F A Cup in 1947. After that the fortunes of the club declined and it became a mainstay of the old second division, with a brief dip into the third division. The club suffered from a lack of ambition, and in 1984 almost went out of business. Periods of exile at [[Selhurst Park]] and [[Upton Park]] seemed contrived to drive away any remaining fans but a group of diehard supporters would not give up. They even formed a political party to put pressure on the local council to grant planning permission for the renewed use of the stadium (the Valley), which was finally achieved in 1992. Since then the club steadily grew in standing and now has a stable financial basis and seemed settled in the Premier League. Since the departure of Alan Curbishley, the team manager, the team has suffered from inconsistency. === Visiting the Valley === The current capacity of the Valley is just over 27,000. Tickets are usually availabe for general sale. The easiest way to get to the ground is by train to [[Charlton station]] from [[Charing Cross]]. address='Floyd Road, Charlton' category='Football Clubs' easting='294345' edit_type='Minor tidying' fax='020 8333 4001' formatted_website_text='http://www.cafc.co.u...' host='208.51.227.178' |
