A crazy idea.....

That might just work. As we have lost the Reading friendly, how about an exhibition match between 2 Charlton teams to replace it. It would give us a chance to look at all the new players and give more of them a game. Could include a few interviews with Chrissy and new signings and given the interest generated recently, I think it would be well supported. Could be billed as get to know the new squad. I'd go, would I be the only one though?

Certainly not a game as the risk of injury from a teammates would be stupid, but if a date is available they really should push forban open training session at the valley.

And there has to be a replacement game arranged. With so many changes they won't want the players opening match being mosts fits time there.

If you look back to the years between 1955 and 1961 we always had a pre season Reds v Blues or Reds v Whites attended by up to 4000. It was the days before pre season friendlies and lots of trialists were used. These days when fans live miles from the ground i dont think the club would bother as they play quite a few friendlies as it is and have enough time to assess players.

I mentioned the open training session when the Reading game got cancelled.

It worked well a few years ago.

Rugby often hold open ''possibles vs probables'' games.
