We (at Charlton) have cut costs to the bone, actually the bone marrow. The Chief Operations Officer is roundly regarded as a wrong ‘un, and the main guy who oversees the practicality of matches was off sick. He isn’t a young guy ( but a top bloke) who had already retired but was begged to return...

Charlton fan here. I am sorry to read about the ticketing shenanigans. I think it was a combination of circumstances. Initially I could only buy next to the Directors box in the lower west. Then I was able to change it (in person in advance at the ground) when the obvious decision was made to...

At Charlton station. Sorry about my miracle prediction, Best wishes for the rest of the season,

Sarmiento spent nine years at our academy before being snaffled away by Benfica. We have quite a few go through that experience including your Charlton fan young goalkeeper James Beadle. Our development system is about all that remains that we can be proud of in a footballing sense here in South...

Hello guys. I think it is absolutely splendid that Brighton basically won the World Cup. If my lot had that kind of claim I would glow forever. If you are worried about this evening being a banana skin then barring a miracle you have no cause for concern. The only hope for my Charlton is to...

Many thanks for all your kind words. Football can be wonderful sometimes, and many Addicks of my generation still say (as I do) that the greatest game we ever saw was against Brighton. I remember the huge phalanx of Brighton fans at what we used to call the uncovered end. I know it helps that...

Charlton Athletic fan here. My goodness our two clubs are light years apart now, but I have popped on here to thank the Brighton fan I spoke to today at our humble gathering at the Valley taking place to protest about our seemingly never ending difficulties. Brighton fans were brilliant when we...

They have hardly played. Hard to judge them on what I have seen although Hemed might need to, ahem, 'run it off in training'. Shame because we need them. Of our 26 man squad we had half out injured plus one suspension for last Saturday. We are having to field unborn children.

I don't know about free coaches but certainly some eager person working at Charlton arranged advertising in the Brighton area when we were riding high and you were suffering. I certainly regret that, and if it helps I apologise. However it is possible that the thoughtless actions of a club...

At the moment the potential new owners seem to view the football club as a sporting institution rather than a weird experiment. Under Duchatelet we had nine managers in less than 4 years, and a CEO who went on holiday to Dubai as we were getting relegated amongst a lot of other stuff too. The...

Charlton fan here. It looks like our troubles are coming to an end very soon. I want to thank all the Brighton fans who have been sympathetic to our cause, and most especially those who stood shoulder to shoulder with us during our demonstration on April 23rd 2016 at the Valley. You are a class...

Didn't know where to post this but as a Charlton fan I want to say how delighted i am for you. Drink it in deep guys, relish it. From an ordinary fan who remembers fans united day at the Goldstone, your great club represents hope for so many.

If you define words and concepts by looking at a dictionary it only takes you so far. Words and concepts are more organic and shift around. To discuss what we mean by what we say is not semantics in my view, but an effort to better understand. As I was growing up the word 'bitch' certainly did...

I find this a really interesting point. That the existence of the EU has led to a rise of extremism and nationalism. Perhaps the manifestation of ever closer union ought to be ever closer collaboration. My worry is about the dangers inherent in ways people might find to identify nations. In my...

Well yeah. So I would have remote Euro politicians just like remote British ones I suppose. From my point of view the political class simply makes a rotation of much of the same most of the time. It is interesting to see how Corbyn and Bernie Saunders are being received by the establishment...

For what it is worth I am voting in. Not because I agree with that smarmy toff Cameron though. I want ever closer union, and our so called autonomy and self determination and sovereignty is an eternity of Gove and the like. I am also not keen on Nationalism in any form, but I do want to...

Blimey.

Speaking personally I don't want the game abandoned. I suspect it will unfold in a similar way to the Brighton one, but of course I am not in control of events as an individual, and some Charlton fans are riled enough to not worry about consequences. I have posted here not to seek sympathy, but...

It is hard to get across what is happening at Charlton, from the outside it might seem not that bad, and we're protesting because it is an elaborate toys out of the pram display. It is also hard to be succinct in explaining. Maybe I can describe it thus. When we accidentally equalised against...

I posted eight days ago about what might happen at the Valley. This is a pretty fair representation. You might be interested, especially because it contains Brighton's opening goal. http://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/72904/protest-footage-from-saturday#latest
