    100% from me, loved watching him play for us - great player. Met him away at Fulham few years back in a corporate bit, brilliant to chat to. Obviously needs funding, presented too many top notch surfaces over the years for this not to be the case.

    I always thought there was a beautiful irony: the man who tends the pitch at the Valley now is the same man who barely touched it as he glided up and down the wings when I was a kid.

    100% from me but I still find it madness when they removed the covers on a Friday night when we had heavy rain forecast that night!

    So not quite 100% then since Paddy would've been party to that decision...even though they didn't actually remove them until Saturday morning IIRC.

    The pitch has always been in a quality state under Paddy and lack of funds is causing our pitch becoming like a joke so it's still 100% from me.

    I did read from various of sources that the covers were removed Friday night. Not sure if that is correct now if you heard different.

    Too young (just) to have seen him play. A proper Charlton man. Just listen to the play off commentary after Ilic's save.

    Was a pleasure to see Paddy grace the wing at the Valley back in the day. It will be a pleasure to see him sort our new pitch out in the summer.

    100% support. We used to have one of the best pitches in the country. Paddy's expertise is undoubted.

    Has my 100% support. Listed in the back of The Valiant 500 as my favourite player. The current state of The Valley pitch is not down to the ground staff.

    The most exciting player to watch and a down-to-earth, ordinary bloke. He has shown over the years that he can produce top quality pitches. This year's disaster isn't down to his abilities, just the resources available to hime. Simple. Chin up Colin, the fans know the score, as do anyone close enough to the action.

    My concern for both the Powell's, does Mr Duchatelet take on board how we got in this situation or judge it as the now with out the history?

    In a shock report from Championship Club, Charlton Athletic, new Belgian owner, Roland Whats-his-name has announced a major new investment in pitch technology for the Londoners who have suffered a rash of postponed matches due to the poor condition of the Valley pitch.

    Under a EU funded GRUNT initiative (Green Renewable Under-soil New Technology), 6 billion Euros will be made available to long-suffering groundsman Paddy Powell, for what the club call "long term and strategic investment" in a fork.

    "I have been pleading with the board all season for funding to buy the fork from B&Q," says Powell but until now, funding has been refused for the former Charlton favourite.

    "The one I had my eye on was £19.99 in the sale but this 6 billion Euros of funding will mean I can stay at really nice hotels in Brussels and eat lots of seafood while looking at lots of fork catalogues," reported a delighted Powell who will also be travelling first class across the EU sharing pitch "best practice" with the other clubs owned by Roland Whats-his-name.

    "This is a "ground breaking" deal for the club" said a girlfriend spokeperson for Whats-his-name and we expect to have a forks coming on-stream at the valley within 6-7 years meaning real progress for this club.
