God, I'm sick of the amount of people on here that have talked about not renewing their S/T's and or not going again this season or maybe only once etc.
We may well be in the shit & too many seem to want to turn their backs, instead of helping Chris & the boys pull through.
This set of players are nothing like the bunch of no triers we had at the end of The Prem years.
This squad lack quality not effort.
Please get behind them ffs. Your club needs you now !

Let's get behind them, they deserve it even if the rest of the club don't
Problem?
Last season was a dream, pretty much a one-off. I think it has spoilt a few Charlton fans. This season is 'normal'. We will finish mid-table, and that means losing a lot more games than last season. The fact that a disproportionate number of those defeats have come at home, unfortunately, means that this disillusionment is greater than it might have been.
This club is in a much better position than it was two years ago. You kept going then, even when we were losing to Walsall and Dagenham & Redbridge in League 1. Why give up now?
What I think you are confusing is that group, and I've been in this group in the past, that say they are going to stop coming when they fell very hurt and/or angry about a specific result.
The club are guilty (as are the fans) of building up certain games to the point where the result becomes so important that we must all accept some fall out if the team loses. Yesterday was just one of those games.
Even though I wasn't angry I was very, very disappointed. In all honesty I think we played well and Millwall looked poor and/or tired. We just didn't get the goal then they got one against the run of play.
I don't have any criticisms of the club, manager or the players, but I still feel most disappointed about the result.
I suspect that most of those that are saying they will stop coming are just venting and they will be back for Bolton and they will renew if they can.
Whatever else your feelings, support the latter.
You came across as critical of people withdrawing their support which I don't think they will do in the end I think they are just saying they will.
Anyway I might have phrased my comment better to I apologise.
Being treated like a cunt by other 'fans' of 'my' club.
Being treated like a cunt by the people who run 'my' club
Being embarrassed to be associated with some of the parasites I've seen more and more of at the Valley over the last few years
Finding other things that I enjoy doing more
Not being able to justify shelling out nigh on 50 quid a week for about eight minutes of enjoyment
This is nothing to do with the team being shit. Lord alone knows I've put up with shit teams before. Those teams had players that weren't earning a tenth of what the players are earning now - but I'm pragmatic enough to realise that the money floating around in football is silly now - so it isn't envy either.
I just don't really enjoy it much any more.
Surely, no one supports Charlton for the glory ?
It's my team, I support them through thick and thin.
I'm Charlton not Arsenal, Chelsea, Man U.
We lose a lot, that's what we do.
You say "how I spend my money and (far more valuable to me) my time is no-one else's business but my own."
But up to a point you've made it not your own by starting a thread about it.
Anyway, you're a good lad, so I'll leave it there, as we're all uptight.
Hope you feel differently in a week or so. Just change seats mate. I never have the problems you seem to get.
All the best.
If you don't want to come, then don't come, simple. Why you need to make a big song and dance about it, I don't really know.
The whole "players earn too much" argument is tedious and done to death by the modern football supporter. Let's not make this something about the players when quite clearly the main thing you have got the hump about are some fucking idiots amongst our support spouting absolutely vile stuff and the owners whose policies you disagree with.
And Tom - I'm not sure why you've highlighted the point about players earning too much - since I went out of my way to state that wasn't one of the reasons I'm so fucked off with it?
Or preferably both.
I know I certainly wouldnt!
the next home attendace will prove my point by looking at the empty stands(not the figure they give out).
45 years plus ---i have paid my dues a 1000 times over.
Its not fun anymore
I will go when i feel like it not because some says i owe it to this club-----i owe them fuck all.
CP and the players earned my loyalty last season. This club had been dismal for years and in terminal decline, then wham everything changed. We won games, a lot of games and it was great to say I was a Charlton supporter without people looking at me with sympathy.
The players are what they are and we don't have the money to pay for stupid wages and loan fees, grow up people and do your bit.
It's not about the racism (I don't hear any), the board, the new brand of supporters we have or Ricardo Fuller, it's about what am I going get entertainment wise for £440 next season and can that money be better spent partially doing other things (I would still go occasionally).
Some would rather go down with CP that stay up without him.
Irrespective of the manager, if we are to go down I'd at least like to be entertained when being rolled over at The Valley every other week.
