Just showed on Sky sports news Notts County players are currently playing a match against supporters, apparently Martin Allen encourages whatever teams he manages to do the same. Would anyone be up for it if Charlton did the same? I think it's a really good idea and all teams should do it at least once a season. They play 14 fans versus 11 players the score was 9-0 to the first team with a few minutes to go so 3 extra men not much help then :)

    I just see that too. Think it's a quality idea. Even though your playing the first team I think 14 is too much. Prob make it too crowded and as we just see on ssn that the extra men haven't exactly helped.

    With Bexley Dan in centre mid we'd be unstoppable.

    back in the day it would have been great but now i would just be kicking shadows... though im sure i could still put in a nice corner and a long throw if that helps my chances of being picked ;o)

    That would hardly be fair to the first team. Perhaps we should make him play with a handicap to slow him up? Like he must be forced to carry around his ego.

    I'll be a wide man!

    I've never been fast,but a few years ago I played in a 5 - a side game and one of the opposition who I had employed was being all cocky so I decided to put in one of my sliding knock 'em up in the air tackles. As I went to launch he was there but by the time the 16 stone slide in he was down the other end of the pitch. I knew that what speed I had was gone. My speed was deceptive, I was slower than I looked.

    Not mid season though. Would you want to face everyone if you inadvertantly crocked BWP, Green or someone?

    I've got the fitness levels of Cory Gibbs, touch of Djimi Traore, and the pace of Grant Basey.
    Give me a bell asap and i'll be there.

    Completely agree about it being wrong in midseason but pre season would be a great idea.

    What about if you injured a key player! Think a better idea as a bonus preseason game would be a fans v explayers match.

    I think I should be considered for the team. I could play in the hole. I've never been quite sure what this means but I am assuming it means I can watch the midfielders and strikers run around in circles while I don't do anything. This seems an ideal role for me at my age and also means that I don't get blamed if we fail to score and also do not get blamed if the midfield is overran as it will not be my responsibility,

    No problem - count me in - following my broken ankle i wouldn't now be too much of a threat to them so any concerns of me affecting their confidence are reduced but will happily come along and dictate play from centre mid if required.

    So can anyone ask in one of the next supporters meeting if they would do that in the summer.

    I'm a 41 year old fat git with 2 buggered knees,
    but as I'm 6 ft I automatically qualify to be better than either of our full backs.

    I would but I feel it would destroy Solly's confidence every time I steam past him. Wouldn't be good for the team.

    Well my playing days are truly over, if they ever began at 60?
    But....... CAFC should invite people /fans to put together a five a side knock out competition for adults, with the proceeds going to demelza
    Two pitches on the valley week after end of season. You could make it a 2 day event, even get the Charlton vets to get a team up........
    £100 entry fee per team.
    There must be quite a few on here who manage clubs sides/Saturday teams...... supporters clubs etc.
    I could enter two teams?

    I'm actually annoyed tbf because I had operation on my foot in december and it might have stopped me playing football for good.

    This is just after I got a contract with semi-pro club Waltham Abbey, 50 quid a game not bad.

    42 now but still consider myself one of the greatest players never to have played at a professional level because I was just too good & would have embarrased every defender that I played against into retirement. Exceptionally fit still, tanned, nice car, good looking, animal lover & modest.
