Will Youtubers charity match be the biggest gate at the Valley this season?

It's a 1 off event that will attract a large audience which will not probably return to watch a league 1 fixture.

I hope the CACT has a good payday.

Will give us a good chance to look at some of next seasons new signings I guess.

I use YouTube frequently and upload videos myself.

Still sounds like the biggest load of crap in the world that I would never bother paying to watch.

Still, if it gets a crowd and people enjoy then good.

Season ticket holder with my sons last year. This is the only game they've gotten excited about this year.

If it doesn't sell out I'd be amazed.

I had to buy them the Sidemen Xmas annual type book. How shocked was I, with the cover price somewhere a£18 from memory. On a table full of other annuals from other you-tubers at a similar price.... Seems like a lot of old crap to me, but they seem to like it.

Depressingly I think it went straight into the book chart at number 1 and stayed there.

I used to work for a large company involved in construction and every year we would have a volunteer day doing construction projects for schools/hospitals etc. The firm used to bear the cost of the materials and we provided the bodies, but the struct condition was that none of the work could be used for publicity purposes. It had to be seen as a gratuitous act for the benefit of the communities, not for the benefit of the company. It's the difference between sponsorship and charitable giving.

She could have just said "we are promoting the event to get as many people her and help the charity as much as we can". No, she can't help disclosing the fact that it's just a another marketing opportunity on the back of cheap sponsorship of a charity. Just like the Community Trust is a tool for selling her image as the next Mother Theresa, as if she invented the Community Trust.

It's sad that my belief bias has reduced me to picking over her every clumsy communication to reinforce my beliefs even further.

According to their book (which my son has, honest guv) some of the Sidemen went to Bexley Grammar for the Old Bexleians amongst us. There is this hilarious comment from one bloke who now live in Bermondsey about how rough Welling is and how you wouldn't want to walk around on your own...hello?!

I must admit that, at first, I thought people were picking over her comments and being a bit harsh for the sake of it, for what is, after all, a charity event (and, believe me, I'm no fan of KM).

However, your post has nicely put things in perspective: great post. Meire should be given no leeway on anything.

Can someone confirm, btw, (because I've read differing reports) if the women's team is actually run by Charlton, or if it's a separate entity as it were: she seems to like bathing in the glory of that as well

One other thing, I don't know if @Airman Brown can confirm how this type of operation works: do CAFC give over the ground for free? Who picks up the costs of stewards/police (I appreciate that should be minimal, but H&S requirements etc.)? I imagine the profits for the catering and any programme will go to the contractors (delaware)/club... I can imagine quite few hot dogs and coke being sold on the day (which, at least, gives RJ some incentive for being there!)

I would imagine security/stewards will be mobbed up for this. They were totally unprepared at Southampton last year and the pitch was invaded by thousands of kids. Southampton were not happy. No nets up behind the goals though!

The real problem is that Roland would happily replace the first team fixtures with a season full of exhibition matches, family fun and dancing, given half the chance. That's how much the actual football means to him.

I look forward to the day Charlton are 0-5 down at home to Burton, the sofa returns and some bloke is going wild at half time with dance moves for the opportunity to sit on it for when we play Plymouth at home in a few weeks.

In front of 3,000 fans plus Richard Murrary, sitting in the directors box folding his arms looking on as though there is a smart end game to all this and all is well.

While the squirrel is smirking so hard it hurts.

My daughter seems to know half the potential players, which is a lot more than I know (zero).

She wants to go to the game but I'm glad to say we'll be in Phuket at that time, and I can think of better ways to spend my 60th birthday!

I asked her if she wanted to go to Charlton v Derby last time we were in London togetherand got a resounding no thanks.

Potential new fans, Katrien? Not if they're anything like my daughter.

Another of Driesen's recruits.
