Charlton Athletic's foundation is recorded in 1905, with London their home location. Before the Premier League era, the club won the FA Cup of 1946/47 and an earlier Football League play-off win. The detailed match record in this archive begins at 1992/93.
The stored ground history begins this period with Charlton using the Boleyn Ground, before returning to The Valley during 1992/93. A play-off victory later preceded their first Premier League season, with the win dated to 1998.
The return campaign included a 5–0 defeat of Southampton at home, Charlton's widest league victory in these results. But a winless run from November into January stretched across 13 matches. The final table placed the club in 18th, with relegation closing that first spell.
The next Premier League return ended in the top half. Charlton finished 9th, with a winter unbeaten sequence running from late December into March. The following campaigns finished lower, though both remained outside the relegation positions.
A winning sequence across January and February preceded the later season that brought their highest finish. That best campaign put Charlton 7th and an even goal difference. Its points total was also their highest in the archive, above the return season despite a different pattern of league results.
The best campaign returned 53 points, just above the total in the earlier return season. Its even goal difference also contrasted with the negative figures of every later completed campaign in the club's Premier League record.
The next season ended outside the top half, followed by a further fall the following year. Points rose in the latter campaign even as the final placing slipped, so those changes did not move together.
Their last Premier League season brought the lowest points total of this longer spell, alongside the club's most negative goal difference here. Relegation followed in 2006/07, their latest covered campaign.
