Evening chaps,

Posting this from my iphone on the way back from Sheffield.

I have been to every game home and away this season and I'm calling it a day as of now. Another Saturday I'm left a couple hundred pound down and nothing but a bad mood to show for it. I took nothing from today. The players don't care, the management don't care so why the f**k should I? I feel sorry for the good turnout of charlton supporters today, if the players had an ounce of decensy, they should cough up their big wages for this week and refund us.

Rant over, this took about 20 mind to type!

    On my iPhone as well on the train back.

    Was planning on doing about eight or so aways. Not cos I expected us to stay up but I expected a fight.

    Thanks parky. You've just saved me a fortune.

    Not even sure I can do the home games.

    I'm that gutted.

    Well done Frank for your perseverance and support, if only the players could have shown your commitment.

    Respect to you fella and to all those that travelled today.I must say i dont blame you,its a disgrace!

    Respect Frank and I don't blame you, just think of the wonga you'll save not watching that useless bunch of ****s

    absolute respect to you for persevering this long. i genuinely believe it is time that the club act. clearly the current squad and management have shown consistently that they have none of the credentials required to bring about change. starting fresh next season should not be allowed to happen. change should come now so that the groundwork has been done. a clearout needs to happen. no other 'business' would allow this level of performance in view of the catastrophic effects it is having on the businesses value. the board be that owners / investors etc must do all they can as failure for another season after this could potentially bring the end to our great club.

    'because of what we do, on this day, at this time, change has come'....or words to that effect really made me feel humble a few months back. we now need someone that can motivate people.....is derran brown available?

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for some Internet respect or prove what a great fan I am to anyone as it probably comes across, I'm just sick and tired if it all. I don't want to know how much I have spent on charlton over the past 20 years but every penny was worth it for 18 of them. A team of players that cared, Alan Curbishley is my hero and always will be. The board created our success and ruined us later but I have the upmost respect for them, I believe all decisions are made with the right intentions.

    From a personal point of view, the time has come for me to repriortise. Charlton Athletic has been my life since I was a child, the same for my dad who followed them everywhere during the 70s and 80s but is now sadly not with us. I have shunned family and friends to follow charlton and now they will come first. I can't keep on putting in the effort when it's clear that it's entirely one way. There's no passion, no effort. I cling onto my memories of Nelson, Robinson, Rufus, Brown to name a couple, and think of what 100% charlton people they were and then look at todays team and it makes me want to cry. It's probably the beer but I honestly have tears in my eyes now.

    I can't type out anther essay on this bloody phone again, farewell chaps.

    totally respect you feelings Frank. i travelled all over with my day during the 70's, 80's and 90's and he wasnt there with me today either and im glad he wasnt.

    i went today taking my girlfriend to her first ever charlton match. when i got home today i sat with my mum and she reminisced with my girlfriend about how when i was a kid/teen if i returned home from a game with my dad and we had lost she might as well have thrown the dinner in the bin. today i actually sat and ate it and enjoyed it. no longer does it ruin my day, but i do feel sad.

    Frank, you've almost got me blubbing now as well.

    I spent a few seasons in the mid-late 80s taking my two boys to every single game, home and away. We drove to Sheffield, Manchester, Nottingham, Derby, Bristol, Norwich - all over the country. And we were never let down like it seems you were today.

    We lost far more than we won, but Bolder, Humphrey, Reid, Shirtliff, Thompson, Peake, Lee, Shipley, McKenzie, Pearson, Melrose , Crooks et al under St Lennie never failed us in their commitment and spirit.

    I cannot even begin to imagine how you must feel because today was absolutely unforgivable. We won for the first time in three and a half months on Tuesday. At last, there was some good news and some hope that may be we could just get out of this.

    And what happens? By Pardkinson's own admission the worst performance in his career as a manager (some achievement given his disasters at Hull and as our caretaker).

    What a horrible kick in the teeth. As others have said, the board, manager and players do not deserve fans like you.

    Who is going back to Sheffield next weekend for the cup game? Anyone?
  • AFKABartramAFKABartram
    Frank, so we'll put you down as a 'maybe' for the coach to Derby, yes ?

    Christ, what a mess! Do they realise what they're doing to their hard core support? It won't only be the plastics they'll be losing next season, especially if Parkinson's still in charge. He must go,surely!!

    Frank, you have captured the feelings of many long suffering fans beautifully and I for one wholeheartedly support you.
    If there was a microgram of passion on the field close to the passion and love for the club displayed on this website Charlton would be storming the Championship now.
    Sadly we have chancers and tossers and crap loanees who are training for other clubs and a manager who couldn't manage to piss in a toilet. The names of Johnny H, Peter Shirtliff,Steve Gritt, Jim Melrose and Bob Bolder are synonymous with effort graft and actually giving a toss about our club and were a pleasure to watch win lose or draw wherever they played but this bunch who call themselves Charlton Athletic are pissing on our history and destroying everything that this great club have puked glass for for over 25 years and its a f@@cking scandal.

    Hats off to you Frank, EVERY game, now that deserves respect. As others have said, this shower don't deserve you. Although i reckon give it a new manager and a couple of wins and you'll be back.

    If we go down which is highly likely it would at least be comforting to know that we went down kicking and screaming and tearing down the fixtures and fittings as we were dragged away, a manager with some teste's could at least do that why wait until League 1? why would we be any better off then?

    I said this earlier on another thread, why wait. We can go down with a record low points tally and then PP goes in the summer anyway OR we can get a new man in now, have a go and then he'll have assessed the squad and have something to build on for next season.

    Just in from a big night out, so sorry for any poor spelling and such,
    Dazzler 21 your support today was fantastic, well done.
    travellers like Frank B will never get the respact from football clubs they deserve,
    I have never been so down as I am now following this great club,
    but, my son who is seven, is in his first season of going to games and loves it, there is hope for the future.
    Div three! so what, we will be back.
  • cafcinperthcafcinperth
    This game shows why our away support is bad cause the day a good number turn up the players dont
  • MIDLANDS ADDICKMIDLANDS ADDICK
    Hows perth?
    sorry to change tack, hoping to come and rejoin family in the next year or two!
    any chance of a little supporters club?
  • LargeAddickLargeAddick
    as said on another thread I'm resigned to relegation now. Surely Parky can't be in charge nex season ? If he is I'm going to seriously consider renewing my season ticket for the first time in eons.
  • bigstemarrabigstemarra
    Heartbreaking post, Frank.

    You deserve better.
  • Dazzler21Dazzler21
    i'd just like to add a serious note - I love this club whatever the league whatever the results.

    This club has made me smile,cheer, scream and cry and on many occasions I have lost my voice through this club!

    When i started as a fan aged around 4 or 5 we were finishing 17th and 18th in Nationwide division one - And I have since stuck with them like glue and I always will from Premiership 7th to premiership relegation (i was in a pub full of yiddo's) snd on to where we are today.

    It was depressing when i turned 16 and realised i wasn't getting season tickets for my birthday anymore and i had to buy my own (on the £9 Grand-a-year job i was in) even more damning than that when i turned 18 and had moved out and began to pay "proper" rent and give up my season ticket(to be honest my wage is only just better than it was then hence why i gave it up)

    But you know what I still plan on buying a season ticket next year not because it'll be cheaper oh no - it is because i want to bring myself back there as i have missed it so much since i gave up my season ticket.

    Frank you do deserve better my friend - but this is not just limited to you it is ALL the fans who deserve better from this Wonderfully, Horrible, Brilliant and Nausiating club,it's board and the players.
