Thats the best one!

Top flight to bombsite' and a picture of the priestfield.
Liverpool to Hartlepool is a good sub title aswell
Tony Adams to Adams Park

All good, why not sell it through one of the print-to-order portals and let people persoanlise it with whatever sub they want?!

Whatever, I look forward to reading a genuine fans-eye view. Hope it goes down well, Dan.

Perhaps the next step is an audio book? Read by Iain Dowie and Alan Pardew. French translation by Djimi Traore, Spanish by Omar Pouso and Dutch by JFH?

You might want to put the word Charlton in the title of the ebay page as anyone who searches Charlton are not going to find the book anywhere or randomly stumble upon it

[quote][cite]Posted By: Algarveaddick[/cite]Look forward to reading it - well done you for doing it. Perhaps "From Liverpool to Hartlepool" would have been a catchier sub title?[/quote]

Agreed, that's a winner.

OT to Oldham is a bit weak as a sub-headline because OT is a stadium whereas Oldham is a town so its a bit confusing.

I would have called it "Long Way Down: How Charlton's meteoric rise was wrecked by two Palace wankers."

With maybe a subtitle of:

"tho the preperations were solidly put in place by an uninterested West Ham mug, and a chairman with ideas way, way above his station"

The ebay costs do not include overseas P and P, but from authorhouse.co.uk, I think they can ship abroad so that may be a better bet. When it is on amazon, I will post the link so maybe that will also be easier to get it to Aus!

Btw thanks for the tip re changing the ebay name so it appears in Charlton searches!

Hi again, just a quick update:

There was an article about the book in the matchday programme on Saturday.

Also I have just been informed that the club shop will be stocking the book, there will be around 50 copies on the shelves hopefully by the end of this week. I think it will also be on the new online store.
