It was nothing but a great pleasure to welcome @Rossman92 to SE7. We also had four Dutch guys with our group today, who were equally impressed with their Charlton experience.
Although of course all Addicks are welcome regardless of where they're from but the loyalty and commitment shown by our distant fans is totally awe-inspiring.
I've said this so often but it's true - when Addicks meet for the first time it's always as friends never as strangers. If a newcomer shows up invariably he or she will say how friendly they found everybody at The Valley.
As well as today's guests from overseas I met many other fans, some cherished and very familiar but also others encountered for the first time. An absolutely wonderful day without exception. Add to that a spell-binding match, some superb football and many impressive Addicks performances, and it was yet another very proud day to be a supporter of this amazing football club. And the result made the occasion typically bittersweet, to allow our visitors to come away with truly authentic memories of SE7.
Thank you Jean! I quote enjoyed the atmosphere at Luton despite the town being quite crap! Saw a goal and great limbs in the away end when it went in, so still some good memories despite the result

Safe journey home Ross. Sorry the boys couldn't get a result for you. It didn't take you long to realise that Luton isn't on the normal tourist itinerary..just makes the Valley all the more special.
SO pleased we got to spend the evening with you in lovely Luton, Ross. You are a great young man & we're all proud to have you in the Charlton family. 'Til next time. x

Still fuming about my sons passport situation but fingers crossed we'll be back in England in May, just in time for the playoffs
