When it comes to Charlton, how do you see yourself? Me, when I was young I used to be a fan (my dad was Arsenal) I followed the team by the Saturday evening edition of the Evening Standard .... then when my bro was old enough to drive I became a supporter by attending games, buying a programme etc.... then a few years ago I became (for a very short period) a customer! ..... now???? ..... well I'm not sure? ..... perhaps a potential criminal? So how do you see yourself? AllHell
I get up at 5am Monday to Friday to go to work for two reasons in life. To fund Charlton and support my wife. These b******** are not going to diminish my love of the club. to Duchatelet and squirrel face.
An obsessive I love the Club, its history and its stadium in the same way as I would a long time family pet. Synthetic fans or plastics could never understand it.
I'm a fan. I'm too far away to be a supporter, but I obsess about the club, worry about how badly it's being run and dream of a sensible owner with a practical scheme to run the club properly. I had a budgie called Clive Mendonca, and if I ever end up owning a rat, it will live out it's existance being called Roland Duchatalet and putting up with abuse from an English guy putting on a fake Belgian accent.
I tend to agree with you here. I can't label myself with any of the above confidently. I feel like a customer, but resent that.
i'm a supporter in that i want the team to do well. cant say i'm a fan as i dont have the time or money to go to away games. next year, i'll be nothing as i wont be buying a season ticket, a step up from this year where i refused to hand over any money for food, drinks or programs.
I understand it's a bit silly, but as I've been in NZ for the majority of this season I've just missed being at games
When it boils down to it I reckon before next season starts I will get a ST ...it's what I do sat afternoon every fortnight pub football pub who knows by then they may be gone
I've got some holidays lined up next season, but I'll probably renew, only because £330 is really not that much money anyway. Even if I miss 6-7 games (judging by this season), it's not like I'm going to be that bothered. If I miss more, next season, and we still have these jokers ****ing up the house then it's probably then that I'll reconsider. Hopefully Cray Wanderers would have built their new stadium by then.
