Only a thousand tickets left with Gemma Gibbons and Victoria Stanyon guesting - I'm gonna be real disappointed if I miss her wearing that red dress...
I may not go to any more 'Football for a Fiver' games.... the utter runt behind me (only there because it was cheap!) spent the first half shouting 'Go home you northen moneys' at the top of his voice and the second shouting "sort it out Chris .... make some f..ing changes" even AFTER Chris had made his three substitutions! I left in about the 85th minute because I was just totally pissed off with this guy! Utterly ruined the game for me!
Me too. I'm done with it. Nothing to do with the worst performance all things considered that I've seen in years. I've just had enough of all the crap associated with these days. I'm prepared to take an extra hour to get home to watch Man u or Arsenal duff us up but not Barnsley. No offence to Barnsley yesterday who were better than us and got their just desserts. But too many irrelevant people screwing up my day. The club seriously need to think about the wider consequences of this initiative including the effect on season ticket holders. Regardless of the precise maths I feel as though the value of my ST is being eroded. And I felt pissed around yesterday with all the kerfuffle. I may just be being miserable.
Exactly my sentiments that's why I hate FFAF days and win lose or draw none come back until the next cheap promotion Should call it annoying freeloaders day. Loads a kids who couldn't give a stuff about CAFC filling the ground and there freeloading grass roots wannabe football coaches acompanying them
Not trying to be controversial but mike makes the point I consistantly made about cafc fishing for fans in the Home Counties when they were in the prem. What turned up but a load of freeloading wannabe Man U fans, whi had no interest in cafc and were diluting our good, vocal support like saturday (admitedly a tepid team display did not help) and we bussed them in for a fiver. Another reason how rick Everett got it so wrong.
Rick Everitt's brief was to get more people through the turnstiles.This he did brilliantly with Target 10000 and Valley Express etc the various initiatives worked in part.But I do agree with Typical,I must get out of this bad habit,in the Prem lots of people came to the Valley not because they were Charlton fans but because they wanted to see a Prem game at affordable prices.How many of those people have become Charlton Supporters it is impossible to quantify.Also on Saturday I was surrounded by Families that had no interest in the game,I wondered why they were there.How many of those people will become long term Charlton fans?I felt that I couldn't react the way I usually react because of the number of young Children around me.This was one of the reasons why the atmosphere was muted.
I wonder if Rick Everitt was the man who sent out those letters ''Want to see Zola, Henry, (plus another 2 names)? Then come to the Valley for Premiership football''. That was the just plain cringe.
That's exactly how I felt dick, had to endure overhearing a long conversation from the guys behind me to which nails on a blackboard would have been preferable, it was so dull, while trying to stop myself ripping off the heads of one of the several loud and annoying kids near me all while biting my tounge to stop myself venting inapropriatly in front of the children though a few choice words my have let slip when Solly was brought down in the box. Still can't complain I guess, being unemployed means it was only my second game of the season and I doubt I would have been there without the promotion.
God, I forgot about that. It was the most balls licking self depracating pile of crap ever. How humiliating and what depths we sank to get those 3 thousand seats taken. Whoever cone up with that should have had their eyes poked out.
