in General Charlton
Hi - my Dad (who is a poster on here, but I won't name him) - has been diagnosed with serious illness, and we have a timeframe we are now having to deal with......

I am sure you understand what I mean

Anyway, he is a season ticket holder, and would normally get the train from Dartford

That is not now an option as walking is very much a challenge

He now wants to see Charlton play as much as he can in the time he has - the owner of the club etc is not now an issue

I have looked at the club website, but I can't find how to get a parking space in the car park - he is very frail, and I would hope that the club could help a long term season ticket holder who now needs their help to see the team he had watched since the 1950's

Can anyone advise who to contact please ?

    Mick Everett is a genuine fan and might be able to direct you if unable to assist himself. I would start with him in current circumstances if it was me.

    Others have more 'inside knowledge' than me though.

    Quite. I was in the same situation 10 years ago.

    Ronnie White was in my first Charlton team along with Duff, Hewie Summers, Leary, Lawrie, Ufton, etc........still can name the whole team as if it was yesterday. Good luck to you both.

    Hopefully you are sorted. But when I had a seasonal west stand car park pass, pre-boycott, I noticed on the old site that there was the possibility of buying passes on a match by match basis. (very expensive, mind.) I guess you just ring up.
    I don't know if this is an issue but there were also designated disabled spots that (I think) had wider spaces to help with getting in and out of the car and/or giving wheelchair access. Anyway, hope it all works out for you. If you want a seasonal pass, my recollection is that they are £800.

    Thank you - I fear £800 might be out of reach (!!) I would like to think that the club has flexibility to assist people in such circumstances

    Yes, we all would. But I have my doubts.

    Mick Everitt has got back to me - what a top bloke

    My dad will have a parking space at the Valley for this season - complimentary

    Just told Dad - he is so so pleased - he was v worried that he would be unable to attend

    Let's hope he gets to see a title challenging side this season

    Charlton is still a very special club
    Result.

    No surprise that Mick came up trumps.

    Sorry about your father, but really pleased with the response of Mick Everitt, and that he will be able to keep watching his beloved team in his final moments
