Charlton fans have taken to Twitter to react after it was revealed that the Addicks and Bristol City have been charged by the FA following a recent incident at Ashton Gate.
The south Londoners faced Lee Johnson’s men on the 23rd October in a game that Lee Bowyer’s side lost 2-1, despite taking a 1-0 lead through Macauley Bonne – Josh Brownhill scored a gutting 97th minute winner.
