Yeah, sorry about that Sue I really should have done better clearing them corners, creating goal scoring chances and not switching off in the 44th minutes constantly.

I'll try better next season. Promise.

You also kept passing the ball into the centre circle and out to the other wing, then back to the keeper because you had run out of ideas after 10 minutes - at home in front of 15000.

Chris Parkes' (long serving club secretary's) wife.

There's nothing worse than desperate clueless people wrapped around a football club.

The woman's a fucking idiot, she should get a job with the FA.

Not defending Sue, I think she's pretty wide of the mark on this statement b. ut let's get it clear, she pays for her season ticket, she doesn't get a "freebie" as some think.

Fair play that she pays for the season ticket in that area for home games, as that is a serious amount of dough.

Still does not make the comments any more ridulclous

Sue Parkes is our very own Melania Trump.

Lincs I wouldn't want my wife mouthing off like she does and I know that she wouldn't dream of doing so.

BDL - I think the freebie references relate to the 'hospitality' she has quite literally consumed over the years. Unless she pays for that as well, in which case she's ace. Nevertheless she is married to a club employee and as such should keep it shut.

Does it pay for away tickets too ?

When I attended the 'Training Ground Experience' on the day of the infamous 'statement', we had a Q & A session with some players. JJ was asked if the protests affected the players and he said that they didn't.

Totally unfair, I wasn't even selected for any of last season's games so I certainly don't accept any blame for the relegation..

So, I think Sue Parkes should name names.

For example, which protester was it that left Yann Kermorgant unmarked at the far post for his header in the Reading home game?

Come to think of it which 'protester' at the Club had in a previous season decided to sell Yann Kermorgant to Bournemouth and thus seriously weaken the squad?

Come on Sue give us the names. The 'protester' who sold Kermorgant should definitely get a bit of stick from you shouldn't she Sue?

Yeh but you're a trouble maker with street cred, no one will believe you

I cannot stand freebie hospitality....

Definitely doesn't pay for any of her hospitality at the away matches, though.

Hmmm, I wonder who would have been the first to say that fans and players are to blame then.

ken_shabby

Is this part of the build up for the new season? A 2-1 defeat at Bromley, a few decent players being sold off cheap, and Sue Parkes starts abusing the fans again. We seem to be missing some sort of suprise appearance on the internet by Squirrelface telling people how tough it is being CEO where the customers keep demanding promotions and stuff, and then we've got the set.
Seriously, Chris should tell his wife to pipe down - it just looks like a Katrien sycophant sticking two fingers up at the por sods who pay the club to watch dross every week.

At this rate she will be all over the back of the South London Press again.

Shocked by her comments? Not really, but surprised she keeps on placing her opinions on social media, knowing full well that she will get ridiculed and that her husband who works for the club will also take some grief over it.

dread_pirate_addick

Did we not win the f*****g match in which we heavily protested? Just sayin'.

BDL

Let me make this clear, I completely disagree with what Sue has said. Fans didn't cause the relegation, the failure from Belgium caused it, yes Roland that's you.

All I know is that Sue pays for her own season ticket and hospitality at the Valley, it's not a freebie.

And it's no wonder since you never turned up for training.

I'm surprised being so far up Katriens arse she couldn't just sneak in

I met Sue Parkes for the first time at the Dulwich Hamlet game as she was trying to find someone who wanted a team sheet. We had quite a chat (non football related) about various stuff and she seemed a genuinely nice lady. She was not how I imagined she would be having seen some of her comments. Mind you, I would probably not have been as she would have imagined if she saw me in the Pinocchio and Camel pics. For me it just shows what a huge divide the regime has caused within the fans.

Neither does anyone else at the club, nor do visitors from other clubs pay at the Valley.

By all means criticise what Sue says (it's nonsense IMHO) but whether she gets a free seat at Bury doesn't make her views any more or less valid.

Lincs, I think it goes beyond that because I believe (and someone can correct me if I'm wrong) that Sue Parkes is also an administrator on the Charlton related facebook site that she posts on and in this capacity has been known to remove posts critical of Katrien Meire.

She appears (again subjective on my part) to 'worship' Katrien Meire as if she were some kind of infallible cult leader.

Fair enough she pays for her season ticket and like the rest of us is intitled to her opinion. In my opinion she is talking complete bollocks

There are always people at football clubs who are more worried about their own personal involvement than the club itself. See Richard Murray and seemingly Sue Parkes from her comments. Plenty of die-hard fans working for the club have walked away in disgust, and their actions are a lot more telling than a few who can't give up a Saturday afternoon jolly.

good post and thanks for the info/conjecture ..

I think this is going to be a great year for Sue, she's clearly taking pre-season very seriously and getting in early with her delusional nonsense and I admire that level of professionalism. I just hope she's sensible and doesn't burn herself out by Christmas.
