Should the club be publicising the achievements this last season a bit more ?

The individual achievements and trophies have got a mention as they’ve arisen but collectively, first team aside, this has been a pretty successful season for trophies as a club as a whole from the U16s, U18s, U21s, CACT, to Alfie’s goal scoring awards (apologies for any I’ve missed). The new ownership seems to be doing the right things and Nathan is doing his bit.
There’s a great story to be told to encourage optimism for the future, sell a few more season tickets, encourage players to come to join Nathan’s squad for next season or simply attract more PL players of the future to the Academy, unless it’s a secret of course, then as you were…

Trouble is, if they big up any achievements on social media there will be a wave of "we finished in our lowest position in 98 years", "no one cares about the women's team" and "you'll probably sell all our academy players" comments.
The club HAVE mentioned all the other achievements but rightly or wrongly there is only one KPI that matters to most fans and that is the mens first team.16 -
don't forget the women's team achievement0

Exactly, you only need to read the comments under practically any club Facebook post to see the nonsense.Henry Irving said:Trouble is, if they big up any achievements on social media there will be a wave of "we finished in our lowest position in 98 years", "no one cares about the women's team" and "you'll probably sell all our academy players" comments.

Yep, we're all frustrated/pissed off but dismissing the other achievements is, IMHO, pointless.CAFCTrev said:

Not the women's or academy's fault the men's first team fecked up so badly.2 -
What you say is sadly the truth but there must be a way to spin the Academy successes and those of the young ladies as a massive selling point for future of the club.
the future is bright......1 -

Most people would be happy for the women's team to be disbanded if they could exchange that for a play off spot next season.3 -
No first team wins from November for about 3 months.0

I could happily live without the academy if we were swapping positions with Brentford0

Hopefully the club are more sensible than that.MrOneLung said:

Yes, the vast majority of fans focus much more or exclusively on the men's team over the women or academy but the men aren't failing because of the women/kids.
You can't swop success with one for success with another.
It's not either or. It should be all.
They show that Charlton teams can be a success if given stability, you stick with coaches and spend a little money.
We just got a £750k grant because of the women's team, the potential income and attendance growth in the WSL is huge which is why all the big clubs are investing.3 -

well done to the u-18’s, I saw an insta post but didn’t open it. How many Charlton fans can name 5 or more of that squad?
it would have been nice for the ladies to get promoted, my wife and kids watch arsenal ladies, would have been a good family day out.
ultimately, I’m a season ticket holder for the men’s professional team and that’s who I support.
as I get older and work less, I may spend time watching other Charlton teams but at the moment, the success of the men’s team is all I worry about6 -
100% right, but I would assume this why they started Women's and Academy social media pages, so they can celebrate success through it's own channels.Henry Irving said:Trouble is, if they big up any achievements on social media there will be a wave of "we finished in our lowest position in 98 years", "no one cares about the women's team" and "you'll probably sell all our academy players" comments.

Trouble is they could spin the academy success any way they want, the women could win the WSL BUT if the men's first team fail to get promoted or worse - most people wouldn't give a f**kSwisdom said:What you say is sadly the truth but there must be a way to spin the Academy successes and those of the young ladies as a massive selling point for future of the club.

When we were in the PL we had a reasonably successful women’s team. We got rid of the women’s team, the club went to shit. We’ve once again got a women’s team and it’s been reasonably successful, things are looking up at the club once more. As the old saying goes, behind every successful man is a woman, #notacoincidence? #justsaying #bluetouchpaperlit
