But why do you feel the need to come on a forum nearly four months after the Season has started and wonder why the Club haven't been in touch with you? Weird? I would hazard a guess that you are not happy with our Foreign owner and we parted Company with Sir Christopher Powell. We are a feeder Club for Standard Liege. Am I close?
Tell you what I'm glad you didn't go for the cheap skanky £150 seats where I sit to renew your ticket knowing my luck I'd end up sitting next to you hearing you moan.but then again I could move along a couple of blocks and sit with the real charlton cream in the expensive seats
Considering you finish every statement in every post with a question mark, I don't think you're entirely sure you even had a ST not to renew in the first place.
Funny, cos I was just typing to advise him/her that the 'Full stop' is to the left of the 'Question mark'. Not too far to the left either.
Really no need to bring politics into this is there?
On Saturday I had an appointment at my daughters school at 11am.
Unfortunately it overran and I didn't get to the game until 20 minutes after kick off.
It's now Friday and I still haven't had a call from Roland, Katrien or Bob to ask why I was late and if I wanted some compensation for missing 20 minutes of the first half.
Why should I (a season ticket holder for 23 years) have to put up with this poor customer service?
Should I throw my season ticket away and demand an apology from the club?
For the first time in many years I did not renew my season ticket. The reason was due to work commitments I would not be able to make some Saturdays or Tuesday night games. Only managed to make home games against Wigan, Watford, Derby and Millwall and will miss the Blackpool too. I don't seem to remember getting a personal call from the club which did not bother me in the slightest. Thought it was a great gesture for the club to send a comp ticket for the wigan game with a covering letter reminding about renewing. Having received emails and a letter about the half season ticket deal and noticing the offer on twitter/website I decided to get a half season ticket now that my work commitments on Saturdays have changed.
Don't really see what all the fuss is about. If you are a fan you have the choice. Buy a season ticket or don't buy one. The club at times do get things wrong but I don't see where they have with this one.
It is strange tjhat a fan should feel the need to be courted by the club to renew, you either do or you don't. After all, owners are transient, fans are for ever.
About 20 years ago Barnsley were our opening day visitors (not a good omen).
After absolutely no more than about 30 seconds of the usual lacklustre stuff TBBM shouts out "I've had enough of this [various expletives deleted] who wants my season ticket ?"
Oh, the number of times I've said I was never going back. I always do though.
I can see the OP's point, that any business worth its salt should a) value its customers and b) should (if they had any business sense) want to know why somebody who was putting a significant amount of money in had suddenly decided not to do that anymore.
But this is football. It's not like any other business. In any other business, a huge number of the 92 clubs in the league would have been allowed to go bust years ago. Certainly, Charlton Athletic would have gone out of business back in the early 80's. We all know the story. The older ones amongst us lived through it.
Football trades on loyalty. Football clubs exist so that people like us.... the Loonybins of this world who can't leave it alone..... have somewhere to go on Saturday to dream our dreams, live in the moment and to forget about the stresses and strains of life for a while. That's the role they fulfil, and they know we'll be back.
Football pretends it cares. Those excruciating Barclays ads about "You Are Football" are nothing but a sop to that sentiment. Barclays pretend they give a damn, but they don't. Not really. Barclays is just using football and the intense sense of loyalty that it engenders in ordinary people, to drum up business for itself.
The OP makes a valid point and perhaps at the time of writing may have believed he wouldn't go back. He may really believe it. He may really, REALLY believe it, no, honest Guv, I cross-my-heart-and-hope-to-die mean it this time. He may have even stuck to his guns this far.
Glad I started a pointless thread Feel better now knowing I wasted their time After reading and wasting my time reading the rest of the crap threads on here Other than golfies masterpieces that is
Actually I can't moan during the game because were constantly encouraging the team on with constant cheering and singing And leave the moaning to others during the game

It's just not on!
Disgusted of Bexley.
Sounds like an Ackworth best seller.

Might just be worth bashing one out old son, you'll feel much better about life
Maybe this should be on the southeastern thread though....

There were no takers ....

But he'll go back. Eventually. One day.
And he knows it.
We all do.
Feel better now knowing I wasted their time

Now love the PR at charlton
Any thread where I can post a really sarcastic comment and make a complete arse of myself isn't a pointless thread.
Well done FRF, maybe we will actually see you at The Valley again one day??
F##kers could be sitting next to YOU so beware
It's the Charlton way
And leave the moaning to others during the game
