    "A" Its like something I've made and hung. The top is out of alignment.

    They didn't even post it on the clubs Facebook page to give the many head in the sand sycophants on there something to rejoice without actually thinking.

    Dear Kloob,

    I have a suggestion. Why not buy a prolific L1 goal scorer instead, then have him stand at the entrance on his days off to say "Welcome to Valley Floyd Road"

    Probably got it on the cheap from Alan Sugar, the work of the losing team on an Apprentice task.

    Not particularly enamoured with any of them to be honest but C is my choice.

    None of those are worth a light.
    I've emailed a gentler and more elaborate appraisal to the quoted "address" and look forward to the results.
    I tried for a good while to venture something constructive but couldn't come up with anything useful.
    Unusual for anything recently from CAFC to appear half-baked, rushed or ill conceived.
    Rock Spectacle above @ 3:48pm has hit the nail on the head.

    How about above the gate ' Welcome customers , if you don't like it F*** Off '

    I don't think any of the designs are any good at all.
    Are there cost implications that mean the design is so naff?
    A plain gate is better than what has been put out so far and it would be cheaper.

    Perhaps people can post more other club designs.

    They're all crap.

    Hey Meire leave our gates alone.
    All in all we like our current gate in the wall.

    I think they're a great idea but instead of the line 'my only desire' I have suggested taking lines from other popular Charlton songs. I've just emailed the club and recommend some different text

    at the top of the gate should be:

    'Charlton Athletic'

    and then half way down the words:

    'wooooooooooooooooooah you're shit, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah'

    a 30 something CEO, teenagers on the subsbench, and a kiddie screening emails in the public relations department. Roland certainly likes them young.

    Allegedly.

    I think he is more interested in sycophants no matter what age they may be. His approach seems to be ‘do you know how successful I am, well that’s it’

    Can we call this gate gate?

    My opinion is that they are all absolutely rubbish.

    Whoever designed them needs to revisit the year 5 maths lesson on symmetry.

    Along with the CEO they should be the first things replaced by a new owner.

    It looks like a year 6 school project. Only one of the gates even mentions 25 years and if that's what this is about, surely this should be the focal point.

    What concerns me with things like this, are they looking to stick around longer than we are hoping?

    Why bother if you are looking to sell soon?

    Shame, because its a nice idea actually.

    Robyn, the chicken mascot which looks like Sir Valiant has rammed his sword up his arse, suggests that might not be the case.

    BTW it's quite difficult to find a definitive answer but it seems, as these will be over 2m tall, they'll probably need planning permission. I wonder if they know that? https://planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/20/fences_gates_and_garden_walls

    I'd like a bronze gate, wrought iron is a bit meh.

    Their incompetence truly has no limits.

    Absolutely awful. Why not have a public competion and make the process inclusive and engaging ?

    Just hope no one trusts her with the keys to the bloody gates.

    “My only desire” is RD and KM go.

    A. and B. are like watching a Teety Pie cartoon of him in the bird cage and thinking to yourself, "he could get through them bars if he wanted to"
