Hi !
I´m a portuguese Addick since I´m a little child and next weekend I´m going to London on a vacation trip. One of my main goals for this trip is to watch a Charlton Athletic match at The Valley and I´m so glad that it is happening this saturday.
However, when I was trying to purchase 2 tickets with my friend on the website it didn´t work. It appears the warning note that "This event is no longer available for sale".
Hope you can help me with this so I'm able to possess the tickets and have this amazing experience.
Best regards,
Joaquim Oliveira

As it happens I speak fluent Portuguese, so please give me a number I can call you on. I know Portugal like the back of my hand, so it is more than likely I have visited places close to where you live. Would be nice to have a chat.
It’s great to hear about your excitement about visiting The Valley, but I must ask how on earth you found out about our wonderful club when you have the delights of Benfica, Sporting and Porto to occupy your footballing time? It’s really inspiring that you’d willingly put yourself through this rubbish, when the rest of us are obliged to through birth…..
Presumably you’re already a fully paid up member of the International Addicks scheme given that it is the main goal of your trip, as if so, it’s likely that an email to the club at memberships@cafc.co.uk can help sort you out access to tickets. They may even roll out the red carpet for you to make your day extra special given the long journey you’ve had just to see a match at The Valley!
A couple of small bits of advice - I suggest that you make sure that you don’t accidentally wear a blue shirt in tribute to last season’s excellent third shirt, or speak with the perfect South Coast accent you’ve happened to learn through English lessons
The guy's English appears to be good in places it shouldn't be for a foreign language speaker, and bad in slightly constructed places. However, we've also got the other style of apostrophe used rather than the one I've just used, which is relatively commonplace in European language keyboards, if I recall correctly. So that's a nice touch, if faking.
My conclusion? This guy is a Portuguese Portsmouth fan. Or a Portsmouth fan whose actual knowledge of Portugal surprises me. But I suspect a Pompey fan might not have chosen a name as conspicuous as "Quim", either...
The in depth discussion and analysis about a possible overseas enquiry posted on here (myself included) makes me laugh, cry and love this forum all at the same time.
