[cite]Posted By: Goonerhater[/cite]Yes but Henry you are the fans director leed by example etc.
PS why cant you get us to play the Gers in a friendly pre season mate. rather than some numpty team we have to look up on a map ?
Or lead even. I know you like having your spelling corrected. : -)
I'm sure that more than a few people at the club would be happy to have Rangers (Ketman Snr for example) in a friendly but I think they (and Celtic) charge an arm and a leg to play those games.
I think that is why the Palace V Rangers game fell through as if you don't pack the place out, plus police costs, the testimonial fund (for Dougie Freedman in this case) loses out. I might be wrong and the game might be back on.
Then again Pardew's assistant at West Ham was Peter Grant and he used to be captain of Celtic so maybe he could call some favours in.
I couldnt give a toss about whether rangers or celtic played, have no feelings for either of them but I would still be interested in knowing why one and not the other would be allowed to play.
On the subject of friendlies cant we have a four team tornamant over a weekend between us, Palarse, Spanners and a foreign team. Played at The Valley as its the biggest.

Getting either The Gers or scumtic down for his testimonial is a guaranteed huge turnout. Rangers have taken over 10k+ to both Fulham, Derby & Bradford in the past few years for testimonials, been to two of them myself, scumitc take similar crowds to QPR every year, its a no brainer, guaranteed money earner for him.
Henry, may have been before your involvement at the club, but certain people were approached about 4-5 years ago by OB and dropped in the conversation about a proposed friendly with scumtic at the Valley, the negative reaction they got (so I'm told) made them advise to the club not to go ahead, as I said, only been told.
the reason rangers are not playing palace is at the moment they cannot commit to it.Not knowing if they have to play qualifiers for champions league.That is fact from Palace themselves.
Of course either of the big two would bring cart loads of fans, but there would be "security issues" i guess. However how abour Aberdean, Hearts , Hibs, Dundee even ?
Curb-it steady there i could hear the teeth grinding from sunny Hackney.

This love-in for the Huns is curious, after all most here hate Millwall with a passion, yet Millwall were set up originally by a bunch of ex-pat Rangers supporters, they even play in the same colours and according to rumour the New Den was based on Ibrox.
not really,millwall if anything have a large london irish following,deptford ,blue,all have a large irish presence,charlton has always had a loyalist following among them,since seventies,its not just for show.

Never heard of her, is that the mad oirish woman who shouts at strangers (& lamposts) on Charlton Lane?

Would he now? Interesting. I might email the club and ask if thats correct.
I'd complain to customer.service@cafc.co.uk ; - )
Be my Guest Curb _It, but the game would be ruled out due to 'Police Advice' :-)

The great Alan Curbishley's Testimonial if I remember rightly...
lets sort out one with Imortal Albufeira....
Oh dear...now you've done it...
LOL.....not getting involved.
If they all paid to watch Imortal Albufeira we wouldn't be so crap.
Charlton has always had it's fair share of Rangers but I'm sure there's enough Charlton who look for the sceptics as well.
