@Smudge ^ because, if my history is right we bought one of the most successful UK teams and re-branded them to Charlton before shafting them. Not this ownership/regime, I am not blaming them but we acted pretty disgracefully if my memory serves correctly.

That was my understanding too; we pretty much disbanded them on the same day they managed to play in an FA Cup final, as the mens side had been relegated so we needed to make cutbacks. Not a great way to treat a team that was doing very well on its own, and one that we'd snapped up 7 years before.
I've removed your posts as this isn't the thread for discussing the rights / wrongs of women's football.
thanks
Great, Im sure the women who are on this forum will be thrilled.
Isnt this entire thread about the poor treatment of a member of the womens team, and subsequently the Charltons womens team in general? Isnt that part of the rights / wrongs of womens football then?
This thread is about trying to raise funds for a player of the Charlton's womens team that needs an operation that is to be self funded. There are a hell of a lot of well meaning people contributing to this thread and contributing to her fundraising.
It is a positive thread that it would be nice not to stray into an 'I've got no interest in women's football' debate. Now if people want to discuss the rights / wrongs of women's football, fire away, please start a new thread on it. But (for once) it would be nice if a thread can stay on topic to its intention, or how it has matured.
Please take any further comments to a separate thread, many thanks.

Feel free to delete this post too.
I am thrilled. I didn't see your post but his post was condescending and completely unnecessary calling her "love" etc, written entirely to get a reaction in a way which wasn't needed. It worked. But please lets not derail this thread.

Sincere apologies to @Athletico Charlton here. I posted insinuating he professed an issue with women's football that he doesn't have. I'm not sure if I got it confused with another poster or just the writing was clunky, but either way apologies.
On more important matters, I've gotten I think three notifications from Gemma in the 24 hours and she seems absolutely blown away. Incredibly happy for her, but it's also scary to think that this is only the beginning of a long road to recovery.
Thanks everyone so far, I'm sure most of us feel the same but lets not let that get in the way of getting our prolific number 10 pack on the green stuff banging in goals! If you've never been get down to a game at Thamesmead, it's more fun than matches at the Valley right now!
This sort of thing not covered by the NHS or is it just a case of avoiding the waiting list so she can't get back to playing sooner?
Bit of both, I believe it's not 'urgent' in the eyes of the NHS and also quite a specialist procedure.
I sympathise with her situation. From my experience the NHS is not that good at dealing with sporting injuries and I've had to spend a small fortune of private physio treatment.
Just donated the £50 that won't be going to Valley Gold next month as I am cancelling the direct debit following the letters received from VG this morning.

what has @ValleyGary been sending out now, not more cock shots i hope?
Now £4,260, well done every one here and wherever it's coming from, over the last 6-9 months at times i've felt like i've 'had it with Charlton' this restores the belief that anything is possible ....... hell, we might even win tonight (I know I know, getting carried away)

Steady, Rob7Lee, we are losing 2 0!
Charlton always does this to me....... pride followed by heartache.......despair, tears........

A while ago now, but I was advised not to get a knee op because I wouldn't play again after the NHS had butchered me. I was able to struggle on until I was 35 without one although I had to manage the pain etc... Arthritis in both knees now for some reason, but at least I have memories of playing. I got injured at 21. I don't know of any players I played with over the years who had ops who were able to carry on. It isn't like professionals who get the best, you have to go private or manage the injury.

There are many reasons to dislike the regime, but this isn't one.
Please accept that not everyone is happy to complain about the regime about everything.
Fight the system!
