National Anthem
One thing the world cup always shows is how much of a slow, boring dirge our national anthem is. Our own fans can't even sing it in time, and whilst thereifhr have been an argument for keeping it will Lizzie was still alive, there surely isn't any reason to keep it any longer. Now when this subject comes up people often…

Lewis Hamilton just won the US grand prix and the world championship for the 3rd time. Say what you like about him having the best car etc but he's wiped the floor with his teammate and to be a triple champ is some achievement.

Under 21s (Match updates and news) - PDL playoff v Notts Forest: Mon 27/04/26 7pm (p407)
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
The October international break is clearly a chance to wield the axe First Di Matteo gets the push from Villa, and now Guidolin has been replaced at Swansea by Bob Bradley To me it all seems terribly early in the season to make changes...For reference, we sacked Dowie on the 13th November…

World Cup 2026 - USA/Canada/Mexico
Venues to be announced by FIFA in a ceremony later today. 23 stadiums will be reduced to around 14-16 across the three countries. I would expect four or five stadiums from Canada and Mexico and nine, ten, eleven or twelve from the States. Some local governments are scrambling over each other to offer FIFA the biggest tax…

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…

Tiered Membership Scheme Incoming?
Saw a line in the recent job spec for a head of marketing (don't get me started on the unrealistic expectations of the role) here. Don't think this exists already outside of Valley Gold, does it?

Your 2025/26 season in numbers
apparently, according to the club email today, I’m in the ‘top 30%’ having attended ‘26 home and away games’ last season. I’ll take that, though a shame the club didn’t take into account all the games I attended but top 30% still sounds good to me given the away support we had last season not sure about this last bit as it…

Maribor(Slovenia) away 10/7/2026
The closest airport to Maribor Edvard Rusjan Airport (MBX) is located just 9 km (about 6 miles) south of the city and Maribor's football stadium. However, because it handles mostly charter and cargo flights, international travelers usually use Graz Airport (GRZ) in Austria, which is 60 km away. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Hopefully…

However Norwich jumped the gun and actually announced theirs last week, so will start…

The £5 pint
It's here. Had my first £5 pint in a "normal" pub last night, i.e. not a bar/club, etc - just a run of the mill boozer. £5.17 for a pint of fairly tasteless italian fizzy water (aka Peroni). I promised myself I would give up pub bozzing as soon as this day came. A sad sad day for all concerned.

Good Evening one and all… So tonight, we have our first pre-season warm up game, and we travel to Princes Park Stadium for a nice local kick around with Dartford FC, and I am sure a fair few Addicks will be in attendance to give it some atmosphere. I suppose the topic of discussion on the terraces will be around who we…
