Queue lines in pubs.
Aren’t they so stupid. And then the arguments with people about pub traditions and that queuing is not how to do things. When you just saunter up to the empty bar with a line of idiots waiting.

Want these? (Roland Out)
Roland out hoodie (XL) + Spell it out in black and white protest scarf Am having a clear out ahead of a move. Anybody want these? Would rather gift here than send to charity shop!

Rossman Junior has arrived-Newest American Addick
After what was a very difficult 2025 for me and my wife having lost our first child at just 9 weeks, I am absolutely thrilled to announce that we welcomed Ellie Lyric Ramsey into the world this afternoon! The middle name in honor of the baby we lost last year. Felt like the perfect way to keep her in our memory❤️ Whether…

GAA
Come on you Irish Addicks let's talk GAA. Although hurling and handball and camogie pass me by there's football. And the glorious Kerry team. Who eased past Cork today with a run out for the Gooch and the sainted Paul Galvin! Sam again, maybe. Ciarrai abu!

Other team's new kits
Any decent offerings or horrors this year people have seen? Norwich are the worst I've seen so far, not only are all 3 kits horrible, the worst being the 3rd kit: But they have gone home - yellow and green halves, away - green with yellow stripes, and 3rd kit - yellow and green hoops. Defeats the object of any away kit…

Club cricket thread
The Kent and Kent Regional Cricket Leagues started up on Saturday - hope everyone had a good weekend, if they were playing! Now, I'm sure there are a variety of us here who play a bit of cricket (or, like in my case, do a not-that-passable imitation of cricket actions in match situations), and I thought maybe we'd all want…

Championship 26/27 Pre-Season
After yesterday according to some we're nailed on to finish rock bottom. For others the results irrelevant and people need to see the bigger picture. Most are somewhere in between, but how has everyone else been getting on I hear someone ask? Seriously, anyone? Okay well here's the answer even if you didn't ask.…

General Things that Amuse You

Charlton fans in strange places….
Not sure if there is already a thread but this stems from a conversation with @PeteF this morning. His son, Dan, always moaned that people would stop and chat to Pete at games. They were in Berlin at a Hertha match, Pete was rather drunk, that in itself is not unusual but someone came up to him and said your Pete Finch…

Flasks and water bottles.
At Gillingham and at AFC Wimbledon tomorrow they seem to have a very clear no metal flask/water bottle policy. Is that something that is going to happen at the Valley? If I cannot bring in my coffee on the train from East Sussex going to be meta grumpy. Seems weird thing to do when we are trying to be more environmentally…

Best game you've seen at the Valley
Wasn't around for the 7-6. Would have to go with the 4-4 draw with West Ham (2001). Kitson hat-trick for them. JJ with great late equaliser.

Under 21s (Match updates and news) - pre-season friendly v Folkestone Invicta (p409)
On a personal level it is extremely disappointing that our Under 23's are seeking permission to play their matches at Beckenham Town this season. Although 5 matches will be played at the Valley, that is too far for me to travel. Of course Beckenham is far from being "Charlton heartland", but of course the regime are…

Managerial sackings, comings and goings

Summer 2026 (Non- Charlton) Championship Transfers
As with the past 2 summers, I will update this thread with a list of all incomings for teams in our division. First though we will likely see outgoings with the retained lists that will be announced by most non-playoff sides this week. However Norwich jumped the gun and actually announced theirs last week, so will start…

Would be good to see him as a guest on Charlton TV too. https://www.instagram.com/thevalleybootroom?igsh=ZXh3cXViY2N5Z2Q4

Leo Sayer STILL touring!
Good God!!! He has lived in New South Wales since 2009 and is an Australian citizen. He’s currently over here doing a UK tour.

Celebrities That Are Still Alive

4 at the back?
Why? We only have one winger that’s good enough (and I’m sure some on here would debate that). Lloyd Jones is unbelievable in the middle of a 3, he’s still good in a 4 but it’s definitely not his best role. And our strikers - I don’t think any of them have what it takes to lead the line in the championship, they’re all…
