I'm coming to today's game. Bringing my two boys with me.
Recently separated, Charlton will be the one constant thing I can do with my boys. I need the team and regime to entertain us, to give us positive things to talk about to want us to go again.
Now I need CAFC to bring us together.
I want some long term memories that we'll always have.
Come on you Reds!

Hopefully the start of better times.
But no way you won't enjoy a nice opening day in the sunshine with your kids and I'm sure they'll be in it for the long haul with the rest of us!
For me, the day of a match I am looking forward to starts soon after breakfast. All those long forgotten rituals from another age!
Enjoy your boys, sod the football
and good luck to you superclive, seperations are never easy.
My son has no interest in going to Charlton any more - never really got into is as he started going just as it all went to $hit. He does play FIFA on the Playstation though and always plays as Charlton - all be it that he plays himself upfront and seems to score the lion's share of the goals himself - if you know what I mean.
If it helps my wife and I split up four years ago and my son and I are closer than we ever were. The only bit of, non specific, advise I can give is stay fiends with the mum and never, ever, ever, bad mouth her in front of your boys - even if they tell you she has done so about you. There are many things that children forget as they get older but I don't think they ever forget if one of their parents says mean things about the other one.
Also I think the boycott against buying shirts doesn't count if it's for your children!
Good luck.
