A message to supporters of Charlton Athletic from the family of Sailor Brown

T_C_E · January 2016

I find this so sad-my dad Sailor Brown(past player) would be turning in his grave to see how his beloved club is slowly being killed by mis-management.....supporters of this club have every reason to be questioning the running of Charlton FC and other clubs I for one think things need to be changed asap.....

Him and many others must be turning in their graves right now. Very sad. We all need to get angry for a good cause.

Thanks for your support

Heartbreaking.

Thankyou.

Very touching post. Your Dad was one of my Dad's favourite players and he too would be as deeply concerned.

Apart from ourselves and future generations, we all owe it to the memories of our lost loved ones to fight on and save our club from these faceless cronies dragging us into oblivion. Fight the good fight!

Thanks for taking the time and posting that message. It is a reminder that Charlton isn't just us, but it is the players (heroes) and fans who went before us. And what we do today is for those who come after us. We fight the fight for all of them.

That was nice,I'm sure we fans will see better times.

I remember meeting Sailor Brown when we were trying to get back to the Valley , very smart chap and wearing a club blazer. One of my Dad's heroes

I met your father when I was involved with The Valley Party. A gentleman of the Old School. Solid and decent.
Your message speaks volumes for his integrity and that of our football club.

Lovely post Julie.
Your Dad was my Dad's favourite player bar none, he always told me that he was such a joy to watch in a Charlton shirt.

It is posts and comments like this that must galvanize us even more. We cannot and will not let the current incumbents destroy over 100 years of history, it has been tried before when we were turfed out of our home, we won then and we will win again. For the sake of all those players that have passed, we must kick this megalomaniac out of our club.

Rob7Lee · January 2016

My grandfather met Sailor a number of times and always said he was his all time favourite outfield player (coming second overall to Sam Batram can't be bad!). I've got a picture somewhere of them both, they both came from the Great Yarmouth area with my grandfathers family all being lifeboatmen at Caister.

I think we owe it to everyone who's loved Charlton both past, present and those who will do so in the future to make sure the club has the future it deserves.

I'm sure the likes of Sailor & Batram are up there with their black & white scarfs on cheering us on much like the supporters cheered them on.

Thanks for telling us.

This is exactly why we must rid ourselves of these arrogant, out of touch, incompetents. They don't know anything about us. They have no idea who we are, where we have been and where have come back from. Do they just assume the Valley has always been like it is now? Every single Charlton supporter past and present has earned the right to have that stadium. We have had to fight tooth and nail for it and will be doing that again if needs be.

I, like many others have been going a long time(1975) and I take great offence at suddenly being labelled as a mere customer with a weird attachment to my football team. I take that as a personal insult.

We haven't gone through all of those bad times for nothing. The foundations for success are in place. We must never stop until we have the right people in place who are committed to taking the club forward once again, however long that takes.

I don't enjoy going to The Valley these days but this battle is more important that my personal feelings and that is why I will be there at the Blackburn game dishing out some serious pelters and fighting for the kind of future for the club that we have all earned the right to expect.

Lovely post Julie.

I just hope our wonderful CEO doesn't see it..........................she'll find it weird.

When a manager looses a changing room the general consensus is that he has to go. So when owners have lost the supporters through sheer arrogance, contempt & lies (the list could go on) there's only one solution - GET THEM OUT !! When Sailor Brown's daughter says her Father would be turning in his grave to see how his beloved club is slowly being killed by mis-management & that supporters of this club have every reason to be questioning the running of Charlton FC, then I will continue wearing my black & white scarf & will continue protesting, both with pride (as I have done from the start) but now I do it with Sailor Brown's blessing too.

Thanks for your supportive post, seems like a whole host of Addicks loving people have now come to the conclusion that this regime has to go for the good of OUR club!

From Sailor Brown to Airman Brown.

And everyone in between; the battles must be won.

Can't imagine Steve Brown's too thrilled either ;-)

KM "Who's Sailor Brown? Is he another of that trouble makers Rick's friends telling me that they can do my job better than me?"

Intern PR Guy from the PL "No, I looked him up and he was a famous old player. The Airman Brown is a jokey reference to him, I guess"

KM "Argh, the English sense of humour, puns, plays on words, I don't get it. Anyway, so not a customer and as he's dead not likely to be interested in my match day experience. Why should I care?"

Intern PR Guy from the PL "We'll it's more bad publicity and you've had enough of that already"

KM "That was before you told me your clever PR strategy of not saying anything at all so I can't make any more errors"

Intern PR Guy from the PL (whisper) "If only that were true"

KM "What did you say?"

Intern PR Guy from the PL "Nothing, now lets look at that email to the fans telling them about the group bookings, just need to check it over before it goes out"

KM "We've already sent it"

Intern PR Guy from the PL (bangs head on desk repeatedly)

Thanks for all the comments, I'll see that Julie gets to see them.
