To everybody that was there, hats off.
A lovely evening.
Curbs is a living legend.
Scotty Minto is such a good host.
To my wife who approached Thomas' wife I love you dearly and thanks for sorting a match on the Chairman's table (I lost the auction bid)
Thomas' missus was lovely and I'll report back on the day. Johnnie Jackson queued to get in. Every fan in the building let it be known Thomas needs to give him the job.
We're getting our Charlton back. Little by little.

Delighted to see another tremendous Charlton manager, the great Lennie Lawrence, and to have an opportunity to thank him for all he did for our club (including that tumultuous 4-1 win over Bolton that kept us out of the third tier in 1983).
So many Charlton heroes - mine was also Lenny Lawrence
Great also to see and speak to TS
Truly great night and great to hear the old stories from Curbs
I have lots of photos, but won’t post them as I look progressively more and more pissed as the night went on
In that case, you've got to post them!
Yeah, by the time I collared Jacko I was beginning to talk crap !!
So funny when a wag in the audience said are Nigel Adkins 25 clean sheets in the basket.
Thomas knows the fans are fickle so more important that 3 wise old football guys (sorry Chris as you are still a England coach) but their endorsement will carry more weight than fans, some of whom were telling Thomas to get rid of Adkins and his coaching staff including Johnnie and Jason, before the caretakers job was given to JJ.
If Thomas doesn't tap into Chris, Lennie and Alan's wealth of knowledge then it would be a waste. All 3 cut their managers teeth at Cafc.
JJ is one of the easiest people to understand when he talks football and what he requires from his players. At 39 he is ready for the challenge, many of us want it at Cafc; I'm still not sure that is a Shay Given as Roddy's words keep resonating in TS ears about the template for success with a committee selecting players, 4-3-3 being the favoured formation and black box data which most teams even lower down have a similar process. VEO cameras on a long poll are used in step 5 matches way down the pyramid and the network of information is garnered by coaches, players and managers even if no black box is used.
I trust Thomas Sandgaard didn't just have a good meal.
Only joking. Cracking pictures. Would love to have been there with all them legends.

I also had a photo taken with Paddy, but that’s on @Swisdom phone (I think - events later in the evening are a little hazy 😂)
I assumed that would be the answer because Dickie backed the wrong horse and despite being close to Curbs over the years maybe Alan's leaving wasn't as amicable as we are led to believe. Murray may have gone back to his first favourite team Wolves ?
My Wife thinks he is hot stuff - she was chuffed he was sat on table next to ours !!
