Germans at The Valley

charltonkeston

I have convinced four German students from Hanover that Charlton is the real premier team to support in london as opposed to Arsenal, Chelsea etc.

They wanted to know if it would be safe to bring their (German) tri-colour flags with them. I told them they would be made most welcome. I have also told them of the many pubs in the surrounding area.

I hope I've done the right thing, Sat Nov 04 v Manchester City could be a bad day Maybe I'll steer them clear of the Coach & Horses and head towards the Oak.

Being serious here mate, depending on where you intend sitting I'd maybe tell them to leave the flags at home. It wouldn't bother me, but some of our ............. er ............ shall we say "less bright" fans might not quite get it.

I can remember an incident in the old covered end about eight or nine years ago when some "boys" turned up to sort out a bunch of foreign students near me because they thought they were away fans. We managed to put them right, but only just about in time!

Tell them to bring their flags...
