"Women’s football is one of the fastest growing sports in the world and you can see that a lot of the big clubs are investing in their women’s team. My long-term aim for Charlton is to reach the highest levels with both the men’s team and the women’s team, so I’m looking forward to getting started.”
Long term? Not so fast Mr Sandgaard. You're on the hook for Europe within 5 years
Asked what his objectives for Charlton were, he replied: “Three to five years, Premier League, then less than ten years that we are solid, at least mid table.
“And in 15 years I want to make sure this club is one of the best clubs and always playing European football. That is my goal.”
This is brilliant news and just the shot in the arm the women needed. For too many years they have been feeding off scraps because the investment just wasn't there. Their best players were poached because they just couldn't compete financially. This should give them a chance to be competitive both on and off the pitch and I would hope we will see progress now.
Big thanks to Steve Adamson, Steven King and Damian Walters who have stuck their hands in their pockets or done countless hours of work unpaid just to keep the women afloat. I dare say there are more who have played their part but it cannot be understated just how much their hands have been tied.

Don't let facts get in the way of a decent gag, Dazzler
I enjoy watching women's football. It is growing and improving and the bigger clubs have women's teams attached to them. It makes sense for this move. I think we should be seeing the women's games free on Valley pass for a couple of seasons which could build support and fans deciding to go and watch games.
When we are over Covid and pitches are robust, I think the odd game played at midday before a home match could be a good idea too,

Far better to go and watch the games at The Oakwood and support the team. Season tickets are very reasonable. The bar is a lovely place and the food inside the ground is really good.

Excellent news.

Actually a good result, as we equalised in the last minute, but need to pick some more points up.
