Paul asked me to advise everybody of his redundancy which took place today, regrettably the club has made no official announcement of this and some other peoples departure today. Of course he will still be attending the valley on match days .
Now ladies and gents it is official. I'm sure everyone will be sad to see him go. Disappointed with the clubs overall attitude but it seems to be the way they do things these days.
Paul has worked for the club officially for fifteen years but for many years before that was a volunteer. He was an original valley party candidate and done pretty well, he attended over 800 consequetive matches home and away and also in addition went to a high proportion of reserve games, he also went china. He was voted our premier league super fan and has his hand print in the premiership hall of fans. He sells and deals in vintage programmes. His main job at the valley was post room but would do anything and everything asked of him he worked in the commercial centre on match days.
Legend, used to make sure I got back home safe in my early teens from away train trips, shared untold Charlton experiences over in excess of 30 years, especially the overseas trips - good luck mate.
Sadie, I think I've seen him getting off the train at mottingham recently using a walking aid. If it was him, he didn't look too well. Hope he's ok and good luck to him, proper charlton.

He is fine he fell and broke his hip at work at Charlton a few years ago and had a hip replacement he uses an aid when he has to walk a long way. It never affected his work though.
All the best Paul,will still see you around on visits too matches. Still remember coaches in the 1970s with you.1990s with the train,GOOD TIMES MY FRIEND. Until we meet again go safe.

Second, and I presume this won't be popular. But should a club announce the redundancy of every single person at the club? Imo if it had not been mentioned on here the vast majority of Charlton fans would not know who he is. It's not a dig at the man just think it's wrong to have a go at the owners for this.
Don't know the bloke, but he is a true servant and sounds as though he has the club in his heart. Proper Charlton, not like those that are currently making all the decisions.
Our time will come again, life works out that way in the end. We'll get our Charlton back. Good luck matey.

Maybe just the ones who have put in a good few years service
Anyone who has been following Charlton for a long time will recognise this fella a true Addick

Possibly. I did recognise the name on the thread title but again I'm sure the vast majority would not know him. I just think this is not a stick to beat the owners with. Sounds like Paul had his own reasons fro doing what he did, doesn't mean we should automatically jump in with him.

Proper Charlton
Thanks for looking out for the NWKA post for me.
And I hope the club acknowledge him in some way
This is also a much nicer thread than the last one on this subject
Really disappointing the club do not announce a departure like this officially and give a thank you.
I stopped buying a programme from the I noticed the seller was wearing a gooners top.
Still - at least we are signing loads of well known quality players for the new season.
Good luck Paul and well done for everything you have achieved.
Still remember coaches in the 1970s with you.1990s with the train,GOOD TIMES MY FRIEND.
Until we meet again go safe.
