    I went, was good fun. Quite relaxed, not serious or competitive. We did 5v5 matches for most of it then did a 10v10 at the end. Went on my own but a lot of friendly people so I've booked for tomorrow. Looks like we'll be doing 30 minutes of Adkins's warm-up/training then matches after. But was just nice to get playing again last week. Let me know if you have any questions. Great surface too, I think you use the 3g Charlton train on as it is right next to sparrows lane.

    Got back about half hour ago and finally relaxed so thought i would update this

    As @ReeCAFC15 says above we did about half an hour of warm up training that the first team do, jesus how they do that day in day out for a longer period i will never know 🤣🤣 

    Then we got into a big match, I will be honest after about 15 minutes of the match I was 100% not returning next week and thinking how i could make an early exit today, everyone was so much better than me and i felt like i was making mistakes left, right and centre, everything i did went wrong(including an own goal) i ended up wondering around aimlessly for about 5 minutes avoiding everyone.

    Then we had the break and I decided for the 2nd half to try something different and spent the whole 2nd half as a defender, never in my life have i played as a defender before, but it went alot better than in the first half lol and i actually enjoyed myself.

    So i have already rebooked for next week.


    If you have been thinking about going but not sure, definitely give it a try, its worth it

    I went regularly during Season 1. Absolutely loved it. Got to meet new people who all follow Charlton. Quite a few of us gathered in the Oak before the game last weekend too.

    Would definitely recommend!

    Season 2 came to an end on Friday

    Again like season one it was a massive success, so much so the trust have already agreed to a season 3 starting January 7th.


    Again I would recommend anyone who hasn't come to come and try it for 1 session and you will love it, even if you think you are worried about fitness, believe me, first weet my fitness was terrible, its not great now but has improved enough that I can hold my own.

    The bloke who runs it is a quality guy and does brilliant training before we get into a match and that has massively improved my abilities.

    Plus everyone else who goes are great as well.

    Can only back up everything Paul is saying. And we had a cracking Xmas social / award ceremony in the Oak after the game on Saturday. 

    Some of the lads meet up and do away games together and a lot of people have made new friends out of it, myself included.

    We even played at The Valley last Summer!

    Just wanted to post this.

    A group of us from FNS will be doing the upbeats walk on Saturday.

    Anything you can give would be amazing for a fantastic cause.

    All the money goes to the same place as well so, so if you don't sponsor us but have sponsored someone us still than thanks, it's amazing just like the work the upbeats do
