Charlton 2026: the 20th Gentry Day

Bowlers up together at Charlton, with remembrance at the heart of the day.

On Saturday 11 April 2026, Preston North End supporters carried the Gentry tradition to Charlton Athletic. Bowlers were raised together, those no longer with us remained at the heart of the day, and North End won 2–1. The photographs now form the beginning of a permanent archive. Details of next season’s Gentry Day will be confirmed in due course.
