How on earth has this seemed to have developed into a pissing competition?
Because people like to use how often some can attend as a stick to beat them with as not "pwopa charl'un".
Its not that, its about getting annoyed with people who don't really have a good reason not to go yet bang on here all day about what they want the club to be like when the only actual thing you can do to help improve things is to go - although TS has ballsed up, is a bit of an idiot, hasn't appointed people with nouse to run things and seemningly mistreats staff, if the ground had been sold out, particularly at the start of his regime once the ground was open, then i'm pretty sure he'd have invested more in the team - thats the bottom line and a lot of the whingers need to admit it to themselves. The more you don't go, the more a part of the problemn you are - particularly when somebody who is trying ti fix things has asked you to go. Normal caveats apply - distance, money etc.
what about those that don’t go but watch all the live streams on Charlton TV?
better than nothing but still part of the problem
So what am I then?
WEIRD.
Just kidding of course.
I wish I could afford a ST again, not so easy being in a single income household.
I miss those days of being able to spunk money up the wall and still having more to spare, but these days I'd have to bring the squids with me so that's then 3 season tickets, it's the travel cost, the cost of food the cost of merchandise... They'll then
only watch 15 minutes of the game and then whinge they're bored/cold/hungry/want a tablet/want a poo.

Welcome to the world of sitting next to @Redmidland 😉
Last I heard, he went back home straight after the Cheltenham game (& sacked BG via the phone).
Be interesting if he returns to meet potential buyers or stays home/overseas due to Xmas etc.
I suspect that TS’s required personal day to day involvement in the buyout is gone. I think it’s in the hands of solicitors mostly now with some input needed but not requiring his personal attention.

He must be pissed at this. Imagine an ego that big and not being required for something.

My dad took me from age 7. Never once bought food (we left after eating lunch) & never once bought me merchandise. We went to watch the game.

It sounds like Dazzler's kids aren't all that interested in the game yet so he does what he can to entertain them.
I take my six year old girl and what she looks forward to more than anything is the burger she gets every time! She watches the football for about ten minutes and then starts drawing. She still loves going every week. I hope one day she'll get a bit more interested in the football but all kids are different aren't they. If I just made her sit there and watch I'm sure she'd rather stay at home.

Yep mine are 5 and 2. They're really not interested enough yet. The two year old is closer than the five.

Adult season ticket in family stand £260. One kid goes free. Other costs £50 I think but frankly at that age either rotate or only bring the 5yr old. Take a phone they can watch YouTube on. Take some snacks in a bag..jobs a goodun.

Mate, give it a few years till they are a bit older. They’ll understand the tactics of the game and understand footballing abilities a lot better.
Yes, you'd be bonkers to take a 2 year old & a 5 year old. I didn't take mine until 5 years 9 months, home to Crewe, kids for a quid. Dropped him off at Grandad's & went down the pub. Picked them up outside at the end of the game.
I think TS absence on social media is a massive indicator that something is going on,.
I wouldn’t read too much into it. He had no history of using social media before launching his Charlton interest, it’s only ever been used for that, and he stopped in May when things were getting more mixed. No guarantee it was even him tweeting (though I suspect it was).
Thomas has never used social media at all. Raelynn was behind his Twitter account. It’s doubtful he ever sees or has a true handle on what the mood across social media is, although I’m sure he’s aware now.
Is that true of his LinkedIn as well?
Not 100% on his LinkedIn but it wouldn’t surprise me.
When he was closing in on taking over the club back in August 2020, I had a couple of conversations with him in Danish via LinkedIn (so unless Raelynn speaks Danish...)
“We never had a cup. Used to drink out of a rolled up newspaper.”
When I started work as a young man I got talking to a Spurs fan about to retire about the big crowds of yesteryear including at the Valley. He said that in some games fans were so tightly squeezed in that if somebody needed a pee they would often roll up a newspaper and a fan in front of them would get wet trousers!

Over the years quite a few fans at Charlton have pissed themselves, out of both laughter and fear.

Someone once pissed in my father-in-laws pocket at St Andrews when he was a kid. Must have been in the 1950s.
