It has (yet again) not been an easy year here at CL Towers !
Severe and sporadic security issues led to a great deal of distress and work behind the scenes in the first part of the year. The enforced upgrade in May proved challenging as we had no real time to plan it effectively, and though the current platform is not perfect and there many things we would like to improve, it has at least ensured we are providing a safe platform.
Traffic to the site continues to rise at a rate of knots, so far up 51% in 2011 than the previous year. We keep expecting it to plateau what with the rise of Facebook, Twitter etc, but it hasn't happened so far, so thank you to everyone for making it a forum worth contributing and visiting.
Both our family and work situations have changed dramatically in the last two years, and it is a lot more difficult to dedicate the time and energy that we had done in the previous years, so we are extremely grateful to the handful of Lifers who contribute that little bit extra to help ensure that this isn't simply, just another ranting messageboard.
So to everyone who posts or reads this site, wherever you are in the world, we wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And here's hoping 2012 will fingers crossed give us all something to celebrate.

Happy Christmas to you all and to Charlton fans everywhere.

A very happy New Year to the lot of you.
Merry Christmas everyone, hope you all have a good one!
I really hope my glee jacket comes
Happy Christmas and a promoted new year to one and all
PS Stubley, you're welcome.
May I wish you all everything that you would wish yourselves, and thank you all for making my first year as a Lifer so enjoyable. My sincere thanks particularly to those of you who run the site so well.
I know that we should not dwell on the promotion issue at this stage, but I think we should give some thought to something special perhaps to wear if the time comes. We sit in the Upper North, and it would be useful to identify Lifers reachable from our seats.
Peace and goodwill to all.
And, a very happy Christmas to all Lifers and their loved ones.
