Will we be told of these on Sunday or have to wait? I remember when we went back to the valley, they allways published them in the last programme of the season but they dont do that all the time now.

    I think we'll be the minnow and we'll get to play a "big game" against a leviathan such as Barnsley

    Oh how the mighty have fallen!

    We're usually the big club....we might even play a few at home this season!

    yeah right, we turned down Rangers last pre-season at The Valley because we were more worried about policing costs. Best we can hope for is home to Fulham or someone equalling as boring.

    perhaps the other half of Glasgow then, sure it was one or the other.

    As we were only in the Premiere League a few years ago the likes of arsenal ect dont seem as intresting as they were 10 years ago. If we play someone at home it will have to be a champions league from abroad for me. Obviously Rangers would be good and draw a big crowd, quite possibly our biggest for the last few years

    I do hope it's Ireland. Had a great weekend in Dublin/Bray the last time.

    Would love it to be Norn Ireland though.

    Celtic would've been a bloody disaster. . .

    Well now we are a 3rd division club may be we could get one or two premiership teams interested in playing us pre season, could be more fun than playing conference and non conference teams and could also bring some money into the club.

    We'll probably just play teams from an even lower level.

    Just in from the Bulletin:

    1st Home Pre-Season Game announced.

    Aug 1st, 3pm.

    Charlton Athletic will be playing Jess Conrad's Celebrity XI, at Swingate Lane Playing Fields, Plumstead *

    Jess's XI will include Bill Oddie, Ray Winstone, Karl Howman, Dick & Dom and Diddy David Hamilton and are expected to give Charlton a very good pre-season run out.

    As a gesture of goodwill from the board, Season Tickets holders can get in for £35.80.

    Half time entertainment will be from Britains Got F-all Talent Stars, local Woolwich Hip-Hop dance troupe; 'Imagination'.

    * You to can play on the hallowed turf at Swingate Lane. For the meagre sum of 5 Grand, you can hire the pitch for 30 minutes, Sandwiches and a jug of Lidl's squash will be included.






    Roll on Summer

    I suspect it might be time to dust off the maps to Wimbourne, Bashley, Dorchester & Torquay (although if they go up they could be out of our league.

    That will be great if it is Bashley,Wimborne and Dorchester the same week as Crawley as i'm in the area on a cricket tour :)
    In fact we are playing Wimborne!

    Saw Karl Howman having a drink with Ray Winstone in the Ship and Shovel , Charing X before the Cardiff game recently.Around the corner were a load of pissed up Welshmen boozing being a nuiscance on Villiers St.......Winstone v Cardiff would have been an interesting confrontation.
