Dear Roland,
yes I know! I was as surprised as anyone on sunday. They had been so supportive until now. Do you remember when we arranged the childrens activities in the car park? Well, the fans were nothing short of wonderfull, dressing up as Disney characters. And when I said the discontents were only 2%? Well they were right behind me on thet. 2% ? You're having a laugh! they sang and sang at every match since then. And suddenly on sunday, they rebel.
To be honest, I think they are a bit like naughty school children, playing pranks and misbehaving in front of the cameras. That charming M.Murray (he is still calling me 'Mon Cher', can you imagine?) said the thing with the balls is just a quirky English humour thing as the end of season draws near and the fans look forward to a break from the excitement of the Championship. Funny though, I don't remember them doing it other years. He also said that when they all walked out, it was an expression of supreme confidence in the team's ability to win without them. And it worked! We scored two minutes later.
Anyway, I've had a chat with that Melissa woman you installed. Lovely lady, but I can't help feeling you already had me in that role. Anyway, she's got some great initiatives lined up. Remember that sex on the pitch video I had made. Well, we're going to do a follow up. But we think the first one was a bit 'old school' so this time we are having multiple couples, same sex groupings and animals! Never let it be said that Charlton are an old men's football club. I digress. We think the best thing to do would be for you to write a letter to the fans. No frills, just Grandad Roland addressing his much loved but errant nephews and nieces. Maybe a small slap on the wrist, but a genuine message from a much loved Elder statesman. You get the thing typed up and we¡ll have it on the internet in a jiffy.
Wait till you see how they react (and if you can't get Charlton Life on the work PC, I'll send you a resume tomorrow lunchtime).
Bon chance
Kat
