Hot on the heels of last Sunday’s successful Back to the Valley dinner, the club have quickly announced a follow-up celebration to head off growing criticism the event was unfairly aimed at affluent fans. Whilst the £45 a head dinner was a roaring success and sold out event, many poorer supporters felt they had been prejudiced in their inability to celebrate the Valley Return.
Charlton’s Chief Parking Officer Ben Pencil said
“What has shone through since the first day I joined was how this is truly a community club, supported throughout by all levels of the community. Whilst we appreciate those with a solid disposable income, we equally should not forgot those in the community who are, lets face it, a bit poor, or carry an expensive drug or drinking habit”“Naturally, we will have to market this one a bit differently, but we are equally determined to make this one just as a successful event and hopefully give the workshy and destitute chavs at least one thing to look forward to this Christmas.” 
Preparations for
‘Boo To The Valley – 21 and a Bit Years of Shite’ are well underway. Already a number of ex-players who eagerly signed up to the what is expected to be a fun-packed event which will be given a game show feel. The event will kick off with popular ex-Charlton star Paddy McCarthy hosting a live version of
Take Me Out where 20 ex-players, including former stars
Amdy Faye, Djimi Traore, Paul Sturgess, Mike Small, Talal El Khalej, Omar Pouso, Mikel Alonso, Brendan O'Connell and Kevin Lisbie, will audition for a new 1-year contract. The audience will be encouraged to offer their assistance with Paddy’s popular catchphrase
‘No Likey, You’re Shitey’ Two former stars will be hosting the evening.
Mike Salmon has readily agreed to spend the first half of the evening giving the Charlton fans the finger, whilst
Paul 'Willo' Williams will spend the second half of the evening giving Charlton fans the w***er sign whilst wearing a Palace shirt.
Following a three-course meal exclusively selected from
Iceland’s celebration range, the fun continues through the second half of the evening.
“You’re Boo-tiful” will be a cup style boo-off, with
Kim Grant taking on
Jermain Defoe in the first semi-final, and
Darren Pitcher versus
Marcus Bent in the other.
The big screen will then become the focus for an exclusive episode of
Celebrity Cribs, where
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink walks us round the luxury mansion that not scoring goals financed, and this will be followed by an episode of
Murphy’s Law, where
Danny and his wife Joanna 'lay down the law' on why, as a premiere-visiting celebrity couple, they were too big and famous for little old Charlton.
‘Beauty and the Beast’ will bring the fun-filled evening to a close where
Alan Pardew and
Iain Dowie take part in a lively Q+A session which is expected to see everyone blamed but themselves.
Tickets for ‘
Boo To The Valley – 21 and a Bit Years of Shite’ are expected to sell fast, and can be acquired by sending cash or a blank cheque to
Mr S Jones, Proper Essex.
