We have had a lot of doom and gloom at Charlton these past few years, and hopefully we are now on an upward curve. We can also argue amongst ourselves over some really trivial things sometimes too. And yet we still do so much right. As its nearly Christmas I am going end 2021 with a positive post. Our community work, the way we support any of our own in times of hardship/ill health is so uplifting, as is the many many other great things our club does week in week out. The clip re the community event where people on their own can come and make friends etc is another recent fine example. I post today as I have just seen the wonderful Upbeats story re their catering outlet in the North Lower. This clip of them with Thomas etc warms my heart. We sit in the lower Covered end and somehow missed this - we don't make it past the two bars at the tunnel end tbh on Matchday. However I shall now make a conscious effort to go and sample their wares - burgers coming soon apparently ! Well done the Upbeats, well done the club/Thomas, and well done everyone else involved with all the good things our great club does. I am sure with JJ in charge things on the pitch will keep improving too. Happy Christmas to everyone.

Thank you for bringing this into my day.clive said:2 -
I noticed the new kiosk at the Ipswich game. Didn't buy anything as I was having a beer though. Wonder if it's worth putting a collection box on the bar if they are allowed too, as I would have gladly parted with my loose change in the aid of a good cause. Maybe there are rules against that though?1

Some great community work.1

Absolutely love it.
We've always been pretty good,but Thomas really seems to appreciate everything everyone at the club is doing for those who need a bit of help and is taking it to another level.
Fair play to him for that.5 -
Oi! I'm 43 you cheeky fucker haha! I appreciate youngsters don't do "coinage" anymore, but thought it worth consideration. Happy Xmas and COYA 😀soapboxsam said:letthegoodtimesroll said:

Really good idea from the club. Shame I usually get stuck with a terrible hot dog and a luke warm Heineken.1

Good stuff. I didn't know that Vegan food was available within the ground.seth plum said:Sean Clare is vegan. Cool.
The Forest Green players and staff will appreciate that next season.0 -
Hopefully the scenario will be them promoted and us not relegated.0

Great clip - Onion Bhaji burger is a winner for me!0
-
Is it open every home game? Fancy trying the Bhaji burger today0
-
That vegan burger looks good2

The thing that gets me about that Sean Clare bit- surely no one leaves the little wooden stick thing in while they're biting into the burger do they?0

I know it is a small digression but we do Cat 1 medical calls on the fire engine these days. Anyone unconscious, having a fit, cardiac arrest or catastrophic bleed is likely to get a fire engine in Kent before an ambulance. Anyway in my village there is a charity that houses people with development needs or syndromes whose family can no longer provide care for them
Kevin is a regular face around the place in his Chelsea kit and has been for as long as I can remember. Anyway he collapsed and we were called, we arrived about 20 minutes before the ambulance and had time to take in the fact his room was a shrine to Chelsea, duvet set and posters galore. One wall was painted a dark royal blue colour, the paint had been sent by Chelsea at the end of last year when the carers contacted them saying Kevin was about to turn 61 and was moving into a new bedroom to better suit his needs. They wanted an old poster or something that he could have on a wall, they sent some of their official paint that they paint the changing rooms and corridors with. Even soulless giant clubs can have a heart.
