Addicks hope top club will play groundsman testimonial
Colin Powell
by Tony Hudd

Charlton will play a testimonial for their popular groundsman Colin Powell as part of their pre-season preparation.

Powell, 59, a former Addicks winger who is credited for creating many of leading scorer Derek Hales' goals, also played for Gillingham.

Manager Alan Pardew confirmed: "We are trying to organise a testimonial match for Paddy Powell and all being well we will be able to attract a top club for that."

The Addicks will also play their traditional pre-season friendly at neighbours Welling and plus Ebbsfleet United whose ground they use for reserve team games.

They round off their pre-season schedule of friendlies at home to French club Nancy. Pardew has not ruled out an overseas trip as part of that preparation.

    I don't recognise a single player in that list. So, this fixture is bound to bring in the crowds.

    Shame the match against the Nancy isn't an away trip, comparatively speaking that's close to me.

    Didn't Yousseff Hadji play for Coventry? I seem to remember him having a pretty good World Cup a few years back and got his move to the Prem that wasn't too successful?

    AS Nancy are the French club that currently have a few of Charlton's Ivory Coast youngsters on their books. Maybe one or two will make an appearance.

    EDIT - The "currently have" comment should really be "will have". I don't think they've been placed there yet.

    Whats the problem with it? They could well be in the same division as us in a years time. Think its time to move on. They could have ended up like Rotherham or possibly Bournemouth but chose to do something about it.

    Not for me, I can't accept the idea of franchise football.

    And, yes, I know it's just a 'product' these days like so many other things, but football goes deeper than that.

    Each to their own, but I can't change my opinion on this one, even over time.

    Can understand you boycotting a friendly, but if we drew them in the cup would you?

    Hold your thoughts guys - i'll run a seperate thread and a poll this afternoon on the MK Dons issue.
  • stonemusestonemuse
    Yes, I'd like to think I would stick to my beliefs, so yes I would.

    But a semi-final or final (as unlikely as it is), would cause a bit of a problem ;-)

    Thats a bit like the Jewish guy in my office who is full on until the bacon sandwiches come round
