[cite]Posted By: Essex_Al[/cite]Yes I saw him, times must be hard for him if he can only afford a ticket in the North now. He used to sit close to the directors box in the West.
He used to have the box in the east stand that sky sports now have.
Jim was with his son who is a season ticket holder in the upper North. He used to have the box behind us in the East stand not the one that is now the sky box. He also joined us in the Rose of Denmark before the game. Jim is a fan just like us. Living in Dubaii now it's not worth him having the box anymore.
I seem to remember him buying a couple of rounds for a few younger likely lads, also before leaving £50 with the said group when he left. Very nice bloke.
Spoke to him re Charlton at The Chatham Central Hall when he played there in November- He said he was hoping to get more games in. Saw him in the Directors box earlier this season prior to that as well.
oh yeah big Charlton fan old Jim. Don't make me laugh!!! Why did he put his money into Bournemouth Football Club in the mid 1980's becoming a director of the club when at the time Charlton were in desperate need of money?? As for his act he is about as funny as piles.
Amos. Yes Jim was a Director for a while at Bournemouth as he was asked to raise the profile at the club. I don't think he actually invested any money other than paying Charlie George to play Home games for them. (Charlie had his pub so couldn't travel away lol) Not sure whether he was asked to get involved at that time with Charlton.
Jim is not appreciated by the politically correct brigade that are all too common nowadays but I think you will find he is considered by a large amount of his fans as being a lot funnier than piles. He is however, as they say, Charlton Till I die.

Really. Wow good old Jim!!! I'm sure Bournemouth and Charlie George welcomed his money. I wonder how generous old jim boy was in the VIP scheme back in 1992?? He openly admited he only started going back to Charlton games when we got back to the premiership in 1998. Where had he been for all those years? In the toilet??!

Aye, remember this as well.
I wasn't at his table but was stood next to his and he was getting the drinks for a few other supporters he clearly didn't know, so fair play to him.
"Yes" come the reply

Yeah those constant Charlton nil gags on his two bob programmes used to crack me. Maybe that was his way of raising the profile of the club?
