SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE BLACKBURN GAME

edited April 2007 in General Charlton
OK, I have a special announcement to make.....

As some people on here may have seen I have lived here in Brisbane, Australia for the last 10 years and have only seen my beloved Addicks play three times in the flesh since I came out here.

Well, desperate times call for desperate measures and having despaired at the Blades result at 1.45am here on Sunday morning I have made a decision: I am coming to the Blackburn game at Ewood Park.

I am self-employed and have a very understanding wife so there are no problems there, so my plane ticket is now booked and instructions issued to my cousin to get us some tickets and put some petrol in the car because we are heading north.

A big decision, yes, but the right one without a doubt because I came back for the Play Off final in 1998 and I really feel this game is as big as that one was and if I can make just 0.00001% difference by being there then I will do it.

So, Henry, please tell Pards that if he wants to give the boys a minor lift that he can tell them that I still have enough faith in them to spend a couple of thousand bucks and spend 48 hours on a plane because I still BELIEVE in that Charlton spirit.

See you all at Ewood Park and COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!!!!!

    Top man - the club should arrange that if we win you are allowed on the pitch to celebrate with the players & staff.

    I suggested just that to him but I'll wait to see what if any response I get. I've contacted the press office and Peter Varney as well but let's give them a chance to respond.

    Well done that man!!!! As someone who cant get to the game through personal reasons, I doff my cap to you sir!!!!!

    Henry - Do what you can mate, it doesn't take a marketing genius to put this in the public domain, even if you start by emailing all the local newspapers, they love stories like this!!!!

    Ormiston - Have you contacted any of the media, papers, sports programs etc. in Oz?

    Now we HAVE to win!!!!

    I can hear the chants now, ORMISTON, O O O, ORMISTON O O O HE COMES FROM BRISBANE OZ, HE REALLY GIVES A TOSS!

    Top man, as bibble says I can't go but would love to and am not a homer plastic but lack of money and work dictate that I shit out.

    If that can't inspire the players I don't think anything could.

    Inspired? You think some of these players care how much money/time is spent on going to watch them?

    You're right. But if Pardew can put the fear of god into them that they can share a supporters coach home if they don't be inspired we could strike the right chord.

    Or should I take the rose tinted glasses off??

    Well it will be in at least one local paper column this week :-)

    I think it is up to Ormiston as to how far this goes but I've put the press office in touch with him and i'll let then take it from there.

    Don't worry about the press team. They know a good story when see one and how to spread it.

    This Ormiston sounds like a right glory boy to me. Doesn't show up for years then comes out of the closet for the big games and the press attention.







    Only kidding!

    I notice he's only coming over now it's autumn/winter time in Brisbane and it was over 20 degrees on Saturday !!

    Must be freezing in Brizzy now...

    and Blackburn is historically warm at this time of year.

    So it's clear he's just coming over to top up the tan. simple...
