Charlton Athletic will compete against Leyton Orient in the League One play-off final at Wembley, seeking promotion to the Championship after five seasons in the third tier. Club legend Alan Curbishley recalls the importance of their previous promotion in 2006. Charlton, having shown strong form in the season's second half, must seize this opportunity, as emphasized by Curbishley, who believes the club belongs in the Championship given its stadium and history. Leyton Orient, aiming for promotion after 43 years, has also been in formidable form, making this an exciting match.
"Charlton's too big to be in this division. I'm not being disrespectful, [the club need to be in the] Championship at the least with the stadium we've got, so it's a must-win game."
"It was a turning point for the club. We managed to get back to The Valley, we managed to get the stadium up and running, and then suddenly Premier League football."
