    There are remarkable similarities.

    In 1086, Charlton had 13 villagers and two slaves. Today 13 players, and Bowyer and Jackson.

    The tenant-in-chief was Bishop Odo. Now it's Roland Odd. Bishop Odo of Bayeux never visited either.

    The Lord of the Manor was William, son of Oger. Now it's Tony Ogre.

    Back then Charlton was worth £7. Now it's feck all.

    BTW, it's a bit weird that William, son of Oger held only three properties, Footscray, our Charlton and another Charlton down near Dover.

    Must have been confusing for him when he put ‘Charlton’ in his Satnav...

    Is there any connection between this thread and the Jehovah witnesses ?

    From a friend who works closely with the club:

    Delay in takeover caused by one of Andrew Muirs investors not passing fit & proper test due to connections with a former club. Newcastle or Everton apparently.

    Deal is now complete and is awaiting approval from the FA.

    Won't be announced until after Norwich game.

    Thats good,@JamesSeed can you send my prize

    Is the Norwich game before or after the buying a ticket tax is removed?

    What about the EFL though?

    50% of 928 respondents said they were likely to buy a season ticket if there was a change of ownership

    https://castrust.org/2018/05/season-ticket-and-attitudes-survey-results/

    Yes I looked up the survey after I posted my question. Very useful.
    If I were the Aussies I might offer a discount for a couple of weeks after any takeover, although would anyone who had paid the higher price want a rebate?

    That site is really cool, thanks for sharing (the slaves thing is a bit grim though!).

    So CARD are the true inheritors of Anglo-Saxon resistance.

    Resistance which was utterly crushed and destroyed followed by a period of brutal repression and the destruction of a whole way of life.

    Have a great day, everyone.
    Worst thing that ever happened to this country - it's taken us nearly 1,000 years to realise it and get out of French and German dominated Europe.

    (Awaits bellicose replies from Remainers - but please, careful with those arrows!)

    You mean bow-yers?

    Any idea what The Valley Cafe were charging for a Full English back in 1086?

    1 day after the Norwich game or 2 years afterwards?
    Does it really make any difference? It’s a five year plan after all ;-)

    Read my earlier post about the destruction of a way of life. They would have been serving a Full Norman.
    I’d like to think that was not the case......some things are sacred you know.

    This whole thing is fucking tiresome, what's the crackpot theory that explains why it'll be done after Norwich and not before?

    Of course it matters. And that plan might well go out of the window dependant on circumstances.

    All well and good saying they are in it for the long haul but we are in a pretty shite position now.

    Like others have said.... a day after a week after.....several months after?
    This dubious announcement is just that.....dubious. It sounds like a Colinism to me.

    If it's complete and needs approval then it's not really complete is it?

    If the deal is complete, why wait and waste two weeks of the transfer window, doesn't make any sense, but none of this whole shambolic charade has

    William the Conquerer was my 26th Great Grandfather.

    Just saying.

    hello Danny Dyer ;-)
    I suspect he was everyone's 26th Great Grandfather - 2 to the power of 28 = 268,435,456 which was more than the population of the world in 1066.
