'Black Friday' may well have sent shock waves through London's financial district today, but it was
a very different kind of bombshell that was emerging a few miles south of the river. Reports that
Charlton were set to be taken over by a Dubai consortium sent our forum into meltdown, because this
is precisely the thing [.
Charltonlife.com can reveal that Crystal Palace fans have reacted furiously to reports that
following the final whistle of this Friday's mouth-watering clash at The Valley, they face the
potential of being locked in Charlton's ground for up to 28 days under The Counter Terrorism Bill.
Following numerous incidents of trouble at a host of recent Charlton—Palace [.
Imagine the scenario: Little-known boy-band had a successful run. Lead singer eventually fancied a
new challenge, to prove himself without his band mates. His career then failed to hit the heights
he would have hoped. Rest of the band promptly sunk without trace. At the opportune time after a
considered time, the band reform and [.
Saturday's improved performance versus West Brom led the majority of The Valley faithful to return
home in a justified better mood. The debut of Youga, the balance him and Basey provided down the
left, coupled with the attacking energy Moutaoakil provided down the right led to an improved
thrust to the side.
You have been warned; prices have gone up, investment over the summer has been zero, and what left
a nasty taste in the mouth last season is only likely to get worse this year. But don't let the
rubbish lager in the North Upper spoil your excitement, the new season is upon us ! A 'difficult'

Charlton Life scribe and thinking ladies crumpet Sco questions whether we'll be remembering the
present in the future....... If someone were to ask me what has changed about football over the
past 10 years, and whether those changes have been for the benefit of the game or not, my immediate
answer would be "money".
Well if your New Year's resolution was to ease back on the alcohol, then the current climate is
really not helping your cause! The current situation is pretty much unchartered waters for most
Charlton fans. Of course there have many poor teams and disappointing results throughout our
history, but never in the last fifty years have [.
January may well be a time to diet for some, but Watford fan Pat O'Connor and Andrew Miller from
the Charlton Life forum, were happy to chew the fat ahead of Saturday's Championship clash. Pat,
You were flying earlier in the season, but the wheels appear to have come off a little. What's
happened ? To be [.
Having backed the well-received Minutes Applause for the passing of members of the Addicks
faithful, Charlton Life can exclusively reveal that Director Ben Hayes is fronting arguably the
most contraversial presentation in Charlton's history. Despite expecting a plethora of abuse from
his fellow supporters, the fan-elected representative is heading an initiative to try and ease the
[.
We are in the thick of it right now, so while we are taking yet another battering by all the recent
performances it might be a good time to reflect on the bigger picture as this is as much a learning
curve for us as fans as is it is for the board, management and [...]
In previous years, there always appeared a large dose of surrealism that a Premiership chairman
would choose a knackered-out CIU club in the congested suburban backstreets of Bromley as his arena
to annually address his club's supporters. However, following trips to Blackpool, Colchester and
Scunthorpe this season, the Bickley & Widmore Club was suddenly transformed [.
With apologies to Ian Cartwright, here's my take on the game that will either be the dawning of a
brave new era or more of the same old same old. Bromley FC v Charlton Athletic at Hayes Lane,
Tuesday 8 July 2008 (Kick Off 7.45 pm) Tickets cost £10 and £5. Unfortunately, this
pre-season friendly has [.
On Saturday, Charlton embark on their second attempt to return to the bloated land of plenty known
as the Premiership. But whilst season-ticket sales have ensured the Addicks will be cheered on in
similar numbers to last season, the hopes and expectations of those followers will be in stark
contrast to those of twelve months [.
Normally, this is one of the most exciting parts of the football year. At every club, fans can
hope. Even if they trot out the old "they'll be bloody rubbish, just like last time" line
in public, deep down somewhere inside a small voice will be saying "maybe, just maybe this
could be our year". [...]
Predictions are often banded around in football by experts, novices, drunks down the pub and the
infinite source of wisdom that is the internet messageboard user. It is a wonder that with all this
knowledge and insight that betting firms haven't gone under and all teams just conform with
collected expectation and roll over for [.
It was announced at the end of April that the Supporters Director role, which has served since the
return to The Valley in 1992, is to be abolished, and replaced by a forum panel. It is now four
months since that announcement and not a single word has been forthcoming from the club on the
structure, [.
Well it didn't happen. Zabeel Investments decided against a major investment in Charlton Athletic
Football Club. Thought that I'd write our club's full name down there, just to remind myself what I
am considering here; it's about a sport. Hello magazine are now not going to feature our
chisel-jawed Mediterranean midfielder in its September 2010 [.
So in yesterday's article, i stated my reasons why i think Pardew's time at Charlton should
promptly come to an end. 'Outing' myself brought no sense of pleasure or freedom, so in order of
trying to provide balance, I have been seeking to put forward the alternative view. Fortunately,
Killers Beard from our Forum has [.
So well done Alan Pardew for appearing at the NW Kent Q&A last night. It is easy to hide when the
chips are down, so to see someone prepared to come out fighting merits respect. Unfortunately, if
he had been able to instil those qualities into his players over the last two years, we would not
[...]
Hello all, AFKA and the boys at Charlton Life have very kindly asked me, Colin Camelot, their
full-time, in-house statistician, to write an occasional column for them answering your many
queries regarding our beloved CAFC and the many proud, young men who have worn its red shirt, white
shorts and red and white stockings over the years.
"I will be doing everything in my power to inspire what we've got here. I've always been able
to operate well without big money. I am very focused, my philosophy is very complicated with what I
do and I need people who are good enough to be able to go along with that. It's going [...]
Now is the winter of our discontent. The health and happiness of this great club is under
considerable strain as we piece together what has happened in the past few years. Near bottom of
the Championship? Even our most happily-miserable fans would have been hard pushed to come up with
that scenario at the start of [.
