Write to the communication department if you are upset that Bill Strong has not been mentioned recently. I'm sure they may do a feature on him.LenGlover said:
My point is that official programmes, radio programmes, blogs, websites etc, etc have, quite rightly, had interviews, features and analysis of Charlton's history with all sorts of non footballing figures from Charlton's past.Curb_It said:
Len. That last line was soo not necessary. You ruined the whole post with that point.LenGlover said:Bill Jenner is still alive and now well into his nineties I believe.
He used to run (or was prominent in at least) an organisation called the Charlton Athletic Development Fund in the sixties which, I suppose, could perhaps be described as a prototype Valley Gold in that it tried to raise funds to maintain the ground and help progress the Club generally.
He also became a leading light in the Supporters Club in the sixties and seventies and, whilst to my knowledge it was never formalised as such, became effectively a prototype fans' director once he joined the Board.
I think he left the Board around the time of the Hulyer shenanigans which eventually led to the near
bankruptcy of 1984.
As a final aside he was a leading light locally in the early days of UKIP when the Party was founded in 1993.
A reason perhaps why his contribution to Charlton Athletic has never been fully recognised, acknowledged and discussed on here.
Yet a former director who could cast an interesting insight into the Gliksten / Hulyer eras for example has been, to the best of my knowledge anyway, almost completely ignored.
Why do YOU think that is then?
I find it a mystery myself and have come up with the only possible reason I can think of.
Sorry for upsetting the Charlton Life Thought Police once more by expressing an opinion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -

Even by your bizarre ramblings, that is almost, an unbelieveable comment.
Yet, you appear so "normal".
I assume you and Golfie are in a competition, to see who can post the most load of old bo**ocks :-)
Anyway, on a positive note, you have made me laugh so much, my sides are aching.

Charlton 1982/83
Chairman-Mark Hulyer
Directors-Richard Collins, Peter Crystal, Chief Francis Nzeribe and Alan Ward.
Secretary- Graham Hortop.
Was it Hortop who jumped ship and joined the spanners ?0 -
Always find it interesting knowing who is running the club, past or present. (Jim Davidson/ Mark Humphries anyone?).
And always enjoy reading Len"s posts. He beings some structure and knowledge here whether or not you agree with him or the way he puts it. Personally I enjoy reading his contributions. Keep it up Len

Len hasn't been able to keep it up for years!

I have just read this thread back. Correct me if I am (not) seeing things, but did ANYONE label Len racist between his original post and the one I have quoted above? I can't see it for the life of me.LenGlover said:My last comment on this.
If certain posters actually bothered to read what I wrote in full rather than just slag me off for my last sentence they would be aware that Mr Jenner served the Club in a number of capacities for many years, not just as a director, although he performed that role alone for 14 years according to Stig.
Given those FACTS and the undoubted interest in the history of the Club it surprises me that nobody has seeked to interview someone who was quite heavily "involved" for many years.
I make no apologies for expressing that opinion.
As for Chief Nzeribe if one was to blink at the wrong time one would have missed him metaphorically speaking.
If such a comment now labels me "racist" according to the Charlton Life Thought Police so be it.
I hope my original post is of use to Disco.0 -

I am a UKIP supporter myself but I do not agree with your last line, however their are some lefties out there who claim UKIP to be racist, anti-European or any other extremist messures they want to describe them. They need a reality check.0 -
Why does UKIP keep getting the reputation that it's racist?0

I think RDC's roller was left to him by another Charlton Director from the '80s - John Sunleyguinnessaddick said:falconwood_1 said:

Because they are the only party who is fighting againt the LibLabCon for controlled immigration. UKIP states that in 2014 the EU will be opening our doors to 25m Romanians and Bulgarians 2014.
UKIP say we all want the best people to come and contribute to the UK but we make it far too attractive to them because of many reasons. In the end, when we have youth unemployment increasing, schools are getting too full etc etc we can't take anymore in and we need to put the British people first.
To some people, that is a racist comment by UKIP.0 -

There are around 22m Romanians and 7m Bulgarians and yet a combined 25m of them are going to be coming over here?
