I think it's great that this is a safe place you can come and share if you want to , or not as the case may be.
Help raise money for the academy or Charlton Upbeats, talk about cardigans or whatever the topic of the day is , live , love laugh and be happy as the song goes.
Charlton Life is a bit Like going down the pub, but a lot cheaper, and without the hangover in the morning.
Sure at times it's a bit near the mark, but by jingo you'd miss it if it weren't here, thankyou Admin!
I'm a female poster and do find the liberal use of the 'c' word by some posters offensive. I can't see the point in actually typing such words. Surely a point can be put forward without actually using potentially offensive language? Whilst I try not to swear myself, I accept that some people feel the need to do so, but to actually take time to type some words seems unnecessary.
Agree that people should try harder to use the asterisk key. Out of interest are you secretary of Len's fan club?
I don't think I've ever met Len but our views seem quite similar!

Damn, I was hoping you could get me a signed photo with a 'best wishes always look on the bright side of life and live and let live' personal message :0)
AKFA - you rightly ban racism and nudity, but I think we should also ban homophobia. Twice a season we play Brighton and the gay jokes before each match and on the match thread are just so 1990s. We don't accept discrimination on the grounds of race so why is discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation OK?
No, it is not 'just a bit of fun' and Brighton themselves have complained about it. Let's Kick it Out.
Have to agree with this can we also add to the list, Baldies, fat people, size zero's,short people, tall people, ginger people, goths, bad dressers & old people, as this is also a form of disicrimination and these people have feelings to.

I'm always very nervous about posting, even when I've complimented people they've sometimes got nasty. I have zero anger and absolute respect for people that let me be me, and my main aim on here is to try and spread a little joy and maybe preach some understanding. It hurts sometimes when people cannot see what I'm trying to say or do, but that's the price I pay for being part of this community. CL is a big part of my life! So delicate or not, I'm staying, and no complaints.

Of course you have never met Len! No one has. He doesn't really exist. He was invented by those who run the forum to come on and put the so called view of the older fan to remind people how being mid table Prem was nothing to moan about as things had been a lot worse in the past. The character was an instant success, he was then given the role to protect our hapless Bulgarian Radostin Kishishev , and then Curbs when he started getting negative comments. When both of these had left the club his creators had to re-invent Len and so widened his range to then fight the battle for the silent majority on everything from Swearing, Sitting/Standing, Singing at games right through to the relationship of the UK within the EU. The powers that be have done such a good job that many people believe that they see Len at games. We all know what we think he looks like, sitting there with his daughters and his flask. But of course there are Lens all round the ground. The only downside with the monster they have created is that people are always calling for his comments and opinions in the typical "Len Glover" type discussions. So they've created a rod for their own back by having to go through every thread to find the comments like "...cue Len Glover.." or "Can't wait for Len Glovers comments" etc. They call this Moderation. Then every now and then they start a thread like this one, just to keep us all believing in that most divisive of posters - Len Glover!

What about a swear box? Every time some **** uses a swear word it's £1 in the box for charity. Probably earn enough on here to buy out Jiminez and his clan :-)
