@Algarveaddick, that's good news. Hopefully you can attract a few Addicks down to the bar. Everyone bunking at @dickplumb's brother's place and then down to yours for the pissup!
Charlton Athletic FC, a team that plays in the English Championship (equivalent to the Second Division), and Sporting Clube Portugal, the historical Lisbon club, will play a preseason friendly match at the Estadio Ciudad de Lepe.
So, the encounter between the British and Portuguese will take place on July 19, 2012, from 20:30. The price of tickets for the match and will be 15 Euros for the general public, All children under 14 can enter for free.
I'm really up to go to the game, worth the money it for the memory. Charlton need to get a hotel deal for all Charlton supporters to stay at, that would be a way to make a real holiday of it
Sheffield Wednesday will be in Portugal same time we're in Spain, not too far away if they're based in the south of the country. Wonder if a friendly with them is on the cards ?
anyone got any information on nearest airport flights prices hotels etc
Seville, £100 on Ryan Air, would recommend a hostel in Seville as hotels are pricey.
Alternatively you could stay on the Algarve in Portugal which isn't much further away than Seville, prices are likely to be cheaper (inc drink etc which is v expensive in Seville) and there's the added attraction of a Charlton pub in the area !
The gist is that San Roque have potentially avoided an enforced relegation to the 3rd division (from 2B) due to a debt of 150k Euros. Local businesses/the community have put up the funds to keep the club in business and a 51% stake has been transferred to the "Ayuntamiento", ie. local authority, with the option of the English investors recouping the shares prior to 31 August. The mayor explained the ambivalence of the overseas investors towards the debt by saying that it seemed they showed no desire to continue with the running of the club.
Worrying... or just a sign that when they get bored that's that?
Either way the change in venue is NOT a coincidence, but because we would probably get pelted by the locals after our esteemed director has helped to bury their football club.

You're right though, a long shot. Plus we know how great is in England, would we really want to take him on on home territory ?

On Twitter one of the lads was saying he would be staying in a camper van that he's hired just outside Seville.

It's such a shame the pub was closed when I came to see you cause I could have fixed the roof while I was there! ;-)

So am I right to say Jimenez owned San Roque but now doesn't.
So will the team still use the Lepe facilities or is that a separate entity.
What does this tell us about TJ
Possible issues with other current investors ?
Issues with San Roque ?
Court case with his best buddy Dennis Wise.
