Not able to create a Poll or Survey on here so I've created a simple one myself...
Nothing sinister, no agenda, just simple questions...
I'll post the results once the season has started and then repeat it at Christmas...
Charlton Fans Pre-Season Survey... 
Comments
Personaly Parky is growing on me, His now made the team his own, hardly any Pardew's boys left, and we looked very good dispite loseing vs Watford, We have a good chance of getting in the playoffs at least this year from the Watford performence just need to get them 4 key players in, Another ST for sure wich could make or brake our season#
In Parky we Trust!
I think we are likely to be a hard team to beat and more like a Curbs initial side that ground other teams down rather than play them off the park.
We look likely to be a bigger height orientated side this year for the first time in a long time, which hopefully will stop the amount of goals we have given away at set pieces as in recent years.
We won't know till the season is well under way if this is all going to gel, but I wouldn't be surprised to see us make the play offs and if so be better equiped to go up via them.
This year we will see his team, his side, and I think his signings so far have been very good, a few more and a couple of early wins and who knows..
If you haven't taken the survey why don't you pop over there now and do so, so know it makes sense...
Pre-Season Fan's Survey...
Going up completely depends on ability to get goals, so it all depends whether our front force work well.
You mean he's a crap manager, but would make a first class boy scout Chief Scout ....?
;o)
Last season people was writting us off saying we would be fighting for survival, in a relegation battle. In the end we were one win off automatic. The credit not only goes to the players for performaning and actually getting the points but most of it goes to Parkinson himself as he installed the confidence and belief into the players, that we not only could go up but would too. Grant Basey said before in an interview, 'noone at the club didn't beliieve or think that we wouldn't go up last season' and thats down to Parky.
Parkinson is one of the most underrated managers around in my opinion, and has proved to be a great manager for this level and I think he could easily cut it in the Championship now. Maybe couldn't a few years ago when at Hull but certainly can now.
I didn't realise it at the time but Zoomerang, the poll hosts, limited the survey to the first 100 surveys but over 200 actually took part...

Question Two: Are you happy with Phil Parkinson as manager...?
Yes: 92%
No: 8%
I think that the 8% don't half make a lot of noise on here and other forums! Ask any politician - they would do anything to get a 92% approval rating - that's an amazing stat.
Other than that, it's an interesting mix of optimism and pessimism!
I've never been convinced by various posters arguments "he's a poor defender", the latest to be tagged thus is Grant Basey. Despite protection by one of the best enforcers outside the Prem, our defence has been poor but now Parky has his own choice of back four - if we turn into a tight unit I'll be converted whether we go up or not.
I wasn't surprised at the 88% happy with Murray now in sole charge but I was surprised to see that 78% hoped a takeover would happen this season which presumably would mean bye bye to Dicky....
You are aware that this survey isn't a representative sample of the fan base aren't you. This result purely means that 90% of people on Charlton Life back Parky I would suggest those that make a lot of noise represent more than 8% of our regular support.
If RM visits this site, I'm sure he'd have been one of the 78%.
And given the amount of Charlton fans on CL, I think that even if only CL members voted that would be more than a fair overall representation of fans views...
Damned statistics...
I didn't think this was a serious statistical survey and I'm surprised that the question of whether it is a true representation of the views of every Charlton fan has been raised. However, I wonder how many people on how many websites would need to be surveyed to satisfy that requirement.
My comments were made assuming that a selection of fans (with a variety of standpoints) would've found this survey and filled it in and this would seem to be borne out by Red's comments.
Unless of course the 88% was made up?
