I was lucky enough to meet Lewis and his mates after the game and he is a really nice guy. He is a genuine football fan who attended the game with his Aberdeen supporting friends.
He said he felt that Charlton was a 'proper club' which in his view should be back in the Premier League. He had a soft spot for us particularly because Tony Watt used to play for us and as a Celtic fan of course he had seen him score against Barcelona. He also spoke about Paul Elliott who of course also is an ex Celtic player.
Also Sheeran sat in the East Stand, so it wasn't the same seat.
I must say, the Guardians of Public Decency are ever watchful, aren't they?
It is so nice, once more, to receive ethical guidance from our moral superiors so that we know what we are and aren't allowed to find funny.
I actually thought the football formation tweet was pretty funny, and I'm as sentimental about our former dear Queen as its possible to get. I now realise that I was wrong and will now make sure that it's OK to laugh by waiting for the official approval from the correct channels.
I also note that you are not allowed to dislike someone's music, or even express an opinion on it, if someone has had any mental health struggles in their past (knew what he was doing when the news broke that Huw Edwards, eh?). That probably rules out most of the industry TBH.
I shall now correct myself and also never mention again that I find the music of the likes of Capaldi/Sheeran to be a searing faecal beige indictment of the state of musical creativity that we find ourselves in.

never been over impressed by the magazine, have tried a few times to get into it but never found it engaging.
Have to agree, I subscribed to the first three or four issues but just couldn’t get into it for some reason. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad magazine just that it didn’t float my boat.
Looking forward to the jailbird XI in the new edition out soon
If anyone has spare copy of issue 1 the museum would like it. We have a copy but would like a spare. We've got spares of most of the more recent issues.
The newest issue - #11 - is going to be available to buy from our man @paulie8290 outside the club shop from 1pm on Saturday. It's also for sale on the CAST table and in the museum. Cash at the CAST table, cash or card with Paul and the museum lads.
They'll also be limited editions of #10, our '98 Play-Off Final special, available for half price (so £2 instead of £4).
Fair enough if you're not a fan or don't like magazines or fanzines. Save the cash and get yourself a sausage roll instead. But if you are tempted, we PROMISE they'll be no digs at any royalty or pop stars between the covers...
CAST presence will be behind the West Stand on Saturday as we are also collecting for Greenwich Foodbank at their van. Bring along some necessities as a donation and pick up a MODmag (or two) while you’re there. We’ll also be taking renewals and new memberships. See you there.

Issue 15 sold out the copies I had with me last Saturday so apologies if you missed out(just shows how good we are if you haven't read before 😉)
I will be in my usual place on Saturday 1-3 if you missed out last week come grab a copy this week and if you have never read the magazine before, firstly why not? But most importantly now is your chance to see what all the fuss is about and why we sold out last week.
Last week that issue 15 will be available outside the stadium on a matchday tomorrow
If you are yet to buy issue 15 or still have never bought it now is your chance, my usual spot the intersection between Floyd Road/Harvey Gardens and Ransom Walk between 1-3 will also do a walk around fans bar just before 1 and potentially Bartram's.
Issue 16 will be available in a few weeks so if you already have issues 15 you can ignore this(or buy it again 😉)
I won't have the above flag out today as I'm going to try and walk up and down Harvey Gardens a bit, but will have the magazines in my hand so you can't miss me.
Once again it's issue 15 that I will have for sale today, so if you haven't bought it yet or are coming to the game for the first time, then grab a copy, there is only limited availability today and when they are gone they are gone

All hail the arbiters of public moral decency!
Then you say even if you’ve read it, it can’t be bad because it’s won awards.
I’ve never read it… and now I really don’t want to even try
Thats better, was feeling left out.
Subscribe to it and will happily carry on doing so.
And would thoroughly recommend anyone who hasn't bought a copy to do so.
And the selection of photos is much better

Issue 15 will be available between 10:30 and 12:30 on Saturday
Usual spot on the intersection of Floyd Road/Harvey Gardens/Ransom Walk.
I will also take a couple of walks around the fanzone(providing the club allow me) for those that miss me on their way in so plenty of opportunities
£5 an issue now cash or card, but the issues are bigger and only 3 this season.
Any questions let me know
