  • German Addicks' first match was in May 2003. There are 5 in the group and generally when they're here all of them attend. They have covered 13 matches this season, including Wycombe away recently. They will be here for Rochdale, and two of them will be at PoTY - come along and say hello. Play-off plans are also being made. One of the guys has a chalet in his garden and this serves as club house and museum. I hope to attend the 2019/2020 season's planning session which will take place on 22 June, two days after the fixtures are published. I was there for the 2017 edition - these guys are brilliant!!
    They are also the current holders of the supporters of the season award, don't forget that.
  • Oh no! Slipped to page 2 on the forum, where are you HappyValley? Where is the daily fact?
  • The sale of Charlton is a parody thread which will end in a sea of tears when we remember the players and fans who have left and never to return.  :'(

    Not sure if anyone has picked up on this from the official minutes;

    Alan Dryland (German Addicks) said he feels sympathetic towards RD, he said the club are losing £10m a year and that still 10,000 turn up to hate him. He asked what the attraction is? He said no-one is winning from it”

    Firstly, there’s a German Addicks? Really?

    Secondly, why on earth do they have sympathy with RD? Or is that just a poor choice of wording in the minutes?

    Thirdly, is there any prospect of them goose stepping into Belgium again anytime soon and handing out some slaps?


    I do find this a bit bizarre. Like @Razil was there representing the Swedish Addicks. I will put myself forward to represent the French Addicks. Anyone else care to join in?

    Anyone there for Plumstead Addicks?
  • Is there North London rep?

    "RD bought the club in 10 days, so could the next person" = roly bought the club in 10 days cos he's an arrogant lunatic hell bent on making a quick buck from a non-existent property development plan, what he ended up with is what the potential buyers now discover through their competent enquiries is maybe worth a bag of footballs.
    "costs have been reduced this year" = we're not paying for anything, at all, not even what we're obliged to pay the staff; apart from roly's lunatic interest charge on his own moronic profligacy
    Its happening!
    Maybe it has already happened!  ;)

    There are teams that have been taken over. Won the league. Got relegated and been sold again in that time!

    A nonsense.

  • To be fair, we've waited two years, it's been happening in two weeks, well now it's two months until 30th June.

    Thanks God he can't last two decades.

    Don't put it past him. Two decades time he'll be 92?

    If we were told we'd have to wait for RD to die before the club changes owner knowing our luck he'd go on to become the oldest person in the world.
