    I must apologise if I have caused a certain amount of distraction on this thread. That was certainly not the intention. German Addicks follow very much the mainstream of supporters' views (please don't ask me to explain) and iirc were very helpful with the Unity March two years ago. If nothing else I hope this current attention will have brought them further well-deserved exposure. Now, let's please return to the main topic.

    I will chair the NZ group and come to the next meeting on two conditions 1) the next meeting coincides with the play off final 2) RD pays for the airfares, hotel, final  ticket,  pub spending money, and anorak, bovril etc for a few trainspotting sessions.

    I have absolutely nothing against either the Swedish Addicks or German Addicks being represented but it's a bit bizarre especially in German Addicks case when they only have five members, albeit members who have attended thirteen more matches than I have this season. I'm sure there are Charlton supporting families on here, mine included, with more members but no direct representation. As I said I just find it a bit odd.
    Mate, you're going to be furious when you find out about the "Belgian Addicks".  
    New Shoeeeesuh!

    Jeezus! He can't even operate a bench properly.  Acting casual like a broken android

    German Addicks' first match was in May 2003. There are 5 in the group and generally when they're here all of them attend. They have covered 13 matches this season, including Wycombe away recently. They will be here for Rochdale, and two of them will be at PoTY - come along and say hello. Play-off plans are also being made. One of the guys has a chalet in his garden and this serves as club house and museum. I hope to attend the 2019/2020 season's planning session which will take place on 22 June, two days after the fixtures are published. I was there for the 2017 edition - these guys are brilliant!!
    They are also the current holders of the supporters of the season award, don't forget that.

    Bet they won it on penalties 
    Certainly wasn't by entering The Valley at dawn to put towels on their seats!

    The sale of Charlton is a parody thread which will end in a sea of tears when we remember the players and fans who have left and never to return.  :'(

    Not sure if anyone has picked up on this from the official minutes;

    Alan Dryland (German Addicks) said he feels sympathetic towards RD, he said the club are losing £10m a year and that still 10,000 turn up to hate him. He asked what the attraction is? He said no-one is winning from it”

    Firstly, there’s a German Addicks? Really?

    Secondly, why on earth do they have sympathy with RD? Or is that just a poor choice of wording in the minutes?

    Thirdly, is there any prospect of them goose stepping into Belgium again anytime soon and handing out some slaps?


    I do find this a bit bizarre. Like @Razil was there representing the Swedish Addicks. I will put myself forward to represent the French Addicks. Anyone else care to join in?

    Anyone there for Plumstead Addicks?

    Not seen shit on a bench like that since we had David Mooney.

    I don't think there is a single Charlton fan who gives any credence to the story about Charlton being sold by June 30th.

    2 years FFS.

    There are teams that have been taken over. Won the league. Got relegated and been sold again in that time!

    A nonsense.
