A Sincere Thank You

Rossman92

Alright ladies and gents, my time here in England has come to an end, I jet back off to Chicago at half 3. A massive snowstorm and 60 mph winds have closed some roads in Wisconsin so I'm annoyed to be leaving what is for the moment, a very sunny England!

I couldn't have imagined how amazing this trip would be and I was overwhelmed by the friendliness of everyone associated with Charlton Athletic. This club is different, nothing else compares to the sense of community this club has. When I go home, my mates who support Chelsea, Tottenham, and Man U will be rethinking their choice after hearing my stories. Rest assured, I shall continue to try and carry on the Charlton legacy in the states and attempt to convert more people to the red and white. (Will also do some snooping around on the new supposed american bidders)

Thank you all for a lovely week, and thanks again to all the lifers who took some time to say hello and chat. I hope to be back over for another game sooner rather than later.

COYA!

To be fair, it's on record on the last Charlton Live, I said if we lost both games I'd take full responsibility and flee the country ASAP. We drew on Saturday so I wash my hands of any fault lol

It was nice to meet you very briefly, have a safe journey home.

Safe journey home, enjoy the snow!

Was good to meet you in the museum. Shame it was so busy that we couldn't chat properly.

Safe trip home

Thirty years ago, we had a hardy crew of Dundee lads who would make the journey periodically to follow the Addicks and the loyal Ad Poot and friends from the Netherlands who have never tired of trekking to the Valley or away games to be with us. I could never have imaged a lone fan of only 22 falling for the club from afar, joining in on our very British messageboard and going to the expense and personal journey to make the trip from Chicago to see these Addicks. Maybe Jessie will manage the almost unthinkable and come here from China next!

Y'all come back to visit with us again real soon!!
 

Athletico Charlton

Fair play for coming all the way over.  Nice to very briefly meet you, shame we didn’t win either game but you got the ‘winning feeling’ in both games for a while, saw what sounded like a decent match v Cardiff and got to experience real old school football grounds by going to Luton.  Spread the word and maybe you can start a US Addicks fans group in future assuming it does not already exist.  Safe journey home.

Good to have met you briefly Ross.

All the best.

I just said to my mum today "Let's go on a trip to the UK, sometime in the next couple of years maybe? " And she said "Yeah great idea, why not?" 

Obviously my ideal UK trip would include some Charlton related activities like going to a game or two etc. so I don't want to go with anyone that is not interested in football - it'd be a huge inconvenience for both of us so it's been difficult to find a travel partner. My mum and dad don't like travelling but having recently talked with a friend of hers, mum has discovered a way to tackle the sleeping problem and it would be useful for me as well - I'm afraid of jet lag but sleeping pills would be of use so... yeah I'll be planning a trip in perhaps 2020, 2021 or 2022.

Glad you're home safely Ross, hope to see you again sometime.
