    No need for it in my opinion. Why make a group seperating yourselves from straight supporters? And then moan about wanting equality

    Good question, let's ask @cafcdave123 why he started the group
    Because I wanted more people to come to our meeting brogib, it's boring playing hide the sausage with you every week

    tell me about the last time some one shouted abuse or threatened you because you were straight. I'm intrigued.
    Know them personally enough to know that they suffer with people shouting abuse at them do you mate? didn't think so. Stereotypes like that do groups like this no good.
    give me a gay person who's never suffered abuse because of their sexuality and i will give you a liar.

    This is a rather good idea and it forwards the equality agenda, which I fully support.

    I do have some concerns though. Why call the group 'proud valliants.' What are they proud of? You don't choose or achieve gay it's something you are born with. It's like me being proud of having two feet.

    I daresay you don't have people belittling you, disrespecting you and in some cases physically attacking you just for having two feet.

    If you did, let me know and we'll form a two-footed supporters association to show that we are proud having two feet.

    Maybe we can even join to together with the LGBT community and make a duel organisation. We'll call it the Two-Footed Tackle.
    Hold on, dont get confused with my organisation The Two Foot Tackle.

    No one else has met the qualification standards yet.

    I think the driver of this train might qualify (according to Palace fans):

    I'm not sure he understands all of the words he's included to try and make the email sound formal (how do you treat someone with "shocking mirth" ?)

    Good riddance. Hope the club bars him for life then circulates his details to other football clubs to advise of someone banned from the club for homophobic abuse.

    This guy needs medicating.
  • The grammar and punctuation in that email is absolutely shocking.

    He should be banned from The Valley for life for that alone!!

    That letter reminds me of Chris Eubank. Trying to use big words that he has heard without the proper context or understanding.

    'I am not wanted or needed as a supporter, and in turn, people who think like me, aren't wanted at Charlton Athletic.'

    Well at least he got something right.

    Would be funny if Charlton refused his refund and at the same time pledged the value of his season ticket to the group.

    I would have called him a drama queen but he might take that the wrong way.

  • I'm not gay and only have a few friends that are so I guess I could be excused for not knowing what LGBT is.

    I've read the article on the web site and most of the comments on here. I have deduced that it is something to do with the gay community, but I can't help but think that it might have been useful if the club had explained what the LGBT community is!

    you know he's mad when he refers to us as a "once great club".

    Someone give the guy a refund.

    I'm sure he won't be missed.

    I think he would implode if you suggested he might take it the wrong way ;)
