Off Topic The Betting Thread

He can call me what he likes I'm not a freeloader because I don't use my ticket and I've only had it for a few years I was paying for my season ticket for years before. The ticket I have access to use when I want is one of the 2 season tickets for life my uncle got as part of his severance pay from charlton after years of loyal payed and voluntary service to the club, even Seb Lewis hasn't beaten his 700 consequetive game record yet and that would have been in the thousands had my nans health not been so bad. Not to mention without people like him we wouldn't even have a ground now. I don't consider that freeloading at all, but think what you like.

 

Freeloading it is then. if you don't use it tell them you don't want it.
You either stand for or against the regime, and by accepting the ticket (you are supporting the regime).

The problem is wherever CAAFCC have a scheme there will always be a schemer. Only way to end it is to have no open ended freebies.

 

It's not mine to refuse. I'm not going to argue logistics. I have been to the valley 4 times in 2 years I have entered once, that time I did enter I didn't even use it as I took my kids and sat in the family stand. The other 3 I was protesting only. I don't see why I should have to explain myself though.

 

I agree SJ...
I was pulling your leg a bit!
The struggle with dodgy owners and fans groups isn't just unique to Charlton.
I was fighting ours when Curbs was still taking you through your glory days, and I still am.

Stay lucky.

Paul is one of my favourite all time Charlton people. I have many happy memories from the 80s of standing ticketless at sh1tty train stations and Paul emerging like Mr Benn with a pocket full of tickets.

 

Another freeloader is exposed, Royston i thought you were a man of principle...Jeez do any of you pay in?

My confession is that i travelled to Preston for a pre season game to be turned away as it was ticket only...
Saw the team bus arrive and Warnock produced a book of tickets and gave them to me. Took one and sold the rest for face value £12... A good day indeed.

 

No freeloading - Paul @Sadiejane1981 uncle worked for the club as our train ticket manager - in the days when you used to have "football trains"

 

Trains.
Service crew.
Happy days!

 

There's only one game worth playing:


£5 on the yo when the game is off. Six and Eight when the game is on. Always seems to do well for me when I play.

 

@AllHellLetLoose running in the 3.50 at Limerick

I'm on at 2/1

 

I've had £4 at 4/1 on Dundee to beat Aberdeen tonight

H/T score 4-0 to Aberdeen

Lots of 4s

 

What have people got on today? Looking for inspiration. Not from Nick though - some say Dundee are still conceding

 

Chelsea
Man U
Brighton
Newcastle
Huddersfield

£50 returns £375

All at home against dross.

 

Just targeted Betfred in Peterborough for today's coup.

Millwall
Rochdale
Southend

3 doubles and a treble

 

United always worry me. Decent return though!

I've done an unadventurous 7 fold across Europe and 3 draws today. Think Monaco at 3/1 are decent value.

 

Saving my money for the Masters next week

 

I don't bet on draws really, I've got 13 0 - 0's atm. It's been such a dull day for football...

 

Fantastic 4 days of golf coming up this week.

Royston Alliss tips as follows-

Dustin Johnson
Tyrell Hatton
Thomas Pieters

 

And Grand National week
I'm backing Jordan Spieth and Justin Rose.
Also had a bit on Russell Henley at 150/1 e/w after he won last night in Houston. Best price 100s now
