Sadly there will also be the announcements that players are leaving and we'll feel they are under valued
Maybe we're just that skint that we cannot afford having to pay the costs of a Prem/European side as such Parma or even Inter Milan who we have played in the past!
[cite]Posted By: ShootersHillGuru[/cite]Why are our pre season games ALWAYS away ?
We struggle to cover our costs on friendlies, so we have to be confident of attracting a reasonable crowd. For that reason we would never play a team from a lower level at The Valley so I admit to being completely baffled as to why Watford would play us.
Tamworth (a Blue Square side) hosted Rangers 2 seasons ago and this year they're hosting Aberdeen! Who did we get last year at the Valley? Ipwich bloody Town! Sort it out Charlton - I would love to see us play a Scottish team at the Valley!
Also why do we always play Welling? I went to watch the pre-season match between Welling and Charlton 5 seasons ago and never again! It was bloody awful!
[cite]Posted By: I-SAW-POUSO-PLAY[/cite]worst welling v charlton game was the one in 2006, truly awful!
That was with Dowie when we lost 1-0, wasn't it. He did an impromptu meet and greet with supporters before the match. My brother and I had crossed the road next to him on our way in and basically just scowled at him. I hate that man. I blame him for everything.
THe season starts on August the 7th, the Watford game is on July 31st so I would expect this to be the last game before the stat of the season, otherwise they would have to play a Night game 3-5 days before the start and 2-4 days after teh Watford game, that seems unlikely.
