Do the club's staff have literacy issues?

We've seen it recently nationally with the letter to the supporter. Now it appears again on the club website. The Ajose article saying "We showed our metal". I'm sure that should be 'mettle'!

    Is metal the same as wood, maybe?

    This is hardly unique to Charlton. I often see such gems as 'a mute point', 'to all intensive purposes' etc.

    I don't think it's necessarily a new problem in some cases however....!

    Frankly, I think the club should send them on a coarse.

    Plenty of posters on here seem to think it is 'should of', 'would of', 'could of'.

    There are plenty of other issues. I don't know why you brought up this pacific point.

    Mute point I've seen before but intensive purposes is a new one for me. It could, of course, make some kind of sense in some circumstances but probably not where it's being used.

    What I do know is that some of the club staff suffer from Pedem in ore morbo.

    I think the article is correct, they have got a contract with a scrap metal merchant

    Their website and twitter feed are always littered with mistakes and out of date information.

    It's what I'd expect from a poorly managed company who have no pride in anything they do.

    That's not a dig at the individuals that maintain them. They are more than likely overstretched and underpaid and I very much doubt they have had any training or have the relevant experience to do that job.

    If the club bothered to invest in their careers I'm sure we'd see an improvement.

    Certainly must've been a steely display to come away with three points from Walsall.

    I went on the site on Saturday morning to see how much it would be to pay at Walsall.

    After three minutes of going round in circles and nothing about the game whatsoever, I gave up.

    When you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. A lot of the experienced staff have either been sacked or left and replaced with cheap, inexperienced youngsters.

    I have nothing against youngsters learning a trade but until they gain some experience mistakes will be made.

    Yet within 10 seconds I found this "Tickets are priced at £20 adults and £15 over 60s and under 18s, though these will be subject to a £2 increase on the day of the game."

    Just looked again on my smartphone which I was using.

    My mistake - Looking for ticket information I went immediately to 'tickets' rather than news.

    Silly me.

    Look, let's get this straight. As Katrien told readers of L'Echo, you just can't get the staff in SE7. All the good ones want to work in the City.
