Interest has gone

Work late most nights, dont get to see my 2 and a half year old during the week. All this Charlton till I die stuff - yeah, well Dad till I die is slightly more important than 11 blokes I dont even know. It's a hobby going to Charlton, if it is more important than life or family then you have a problem.

And the way we are playing just makes it easier to make the obvious decision.

I feel guilty about leaving my kids when we were winning, rather than feel guilty about not going if we're losing if you see what I mean?

I'm genuinely excited about going to Dale next week. New ground and watching Charlton....Brilliant!

I see what you mean. Another litmus test is that if you assume that with season ticket, travel costs, programs etc. you spend close to £1,000 a year it does make it difficult to find a decent answer to the following question from our wives:

"If you are going to come home in such a bad mood every other Saturday and spend all evening skulking about reading about it on your iPad, don't you think it's time to spend that money on something else?"

Don't get me wrong, my son is not wearing clothes too small and socks with holes in, and my wife is not forced to use last season's designer hand bag, but she does have a point!



Stands back and waits for the 'Charlton are mort important than your family' brigade to slate him for daring to care about anything else.

Thanks mate - and your point about being in a bad mood on a Saturday night is so true.

It ruins the weekend for my missus as well as me! I will always be a Charlton fan, I dont know any different. But people have to agree there are more important things in life.

ITS OUR CLUB. SUPPORT THEM. THEY NEED US NOW MORE THAN EVER!

GET A GRIP FFS!

i'll be there tuesday and at bournemouth and at oldham - charlton till i die!

Sadly this sort of rallying cry has been going out for over three years now. You have to accept that at some point, people stop being roused by it.

Spend the money on whatever you like, you're still going to be in a bad mood on a Saturday night if Charlton lose!

Maybe, but I find that if I actually go I feel much worse.

If I'm watching the scores on the tele, or my mobile phone, admittedly this only applies to away games, I feel significantly less bothered after the game finishes than if I've watched it.

And the point about the wife having the £1k to spend instead is just as valid. I'm I'm going to be miserable anyway surely it's better for me to spend the £1k on something else.

Mate, seriously, get over it. You're the only one that keeps mentioning it.
