Well here I am!.........So what are we going to to do tomorrow.
The North Stand......what are you going to do tomorrow?

You don't have to answer...I know anyway.... sing your hearts out.

We are at our best fighting back against the odds, we've done that for years

This is going to be considered by by most of you as a complete wind up but for those that don't, ask any questions you like .

    Derek,

    Thanks for the comments on the OS today. It must have been an interesting few weeks. Were you completely surprised that the pulled out, or did you get an inkling in the last few days that it was not going to end in an formal offer?

    what i have always wondered is why the proposed deal was released before it was signed and sealed. But whatever happens nice to be part of a club where the top brass sign up to a fans website - even if they don't have much imagination on aliases - lol
  • well first of all of course I do not like Millwall>>>>as Chairman I can"t say I hate them anymore!!!!!!!!

    yes it has been a busy few weeks. I found out on Weds morning.

    Is Pardews job safe if he loses the next 3 games?..YES...........You back a guy and you stick with him like we stick with the Club

    Thank you for that.

    I'm sure you will find some of the threads on here interesting reading. The guys who have set up this site and run it for love in their spare time, AFKA Bartram (Danny) and Lookout (Adam) have set something up which has become part of our lives. Naturally there are all shades of opinion about the manager/the team etc, the future but as supporters we have an indomitable spirit much of which is forged though adversity. Reading many of the posts yesterday, though most were tinged with natural disappointment, that spirit shone through and I felt the pride that comes with being an Addick.

    I also felt a pang of sadness for those in charge at Jabeel that, whatever their reasons for pulling out of the deal, they have let something unique slip through their fingers. It would have been a great journey for them as well as us.

    Welcome aboard, I doubt many club Chairman would join a fans forum, hats off to you MR C.

    PS....You'll get to realise this as you go along on here, I'm always right, the others are always wrong, especially that AFKA fella :-)


    Up the Addicks

    Welcome aboard, Del Boy ;O )

    Can I ask a question please. Why did they choose Charlton in the first place and who made the initial contact?

    I have this picture in my mind's eye of someone with a 'Borat' type voice phoning up and saying 'I will give 25 million barrels of oil and six camels for your football club'

    Perhaps you need to edit your wikipedia page Derek.

    Otherwise you could be known as Derek and the Dominoes :-)
  • Derek... You say that you found out on Wednesday morning..do you think that the terrible performence on Tuesday night had anything to do with there decision, Could it have been that they thought we were a million miles away from the premeirship,lots of us commented on that possibility after the game.

    If that had something to do with there decision then my dissapointment at them pulling out has been replaced with joy that there now nothing to do with the mighty Addicks.

    You'll have to forgive miserable Mr Chappel, he has this obsession with all things punk, I think the glues gone to his head!!!

  • can't answer how contact made

    dont think one game made a difference
  • Would you be surprised if in the coming weeks it emerges that Zabeel are buying a different football club?

    ignore my doubting post. If lookout says hello it means he knows.

    Del Boy......Did you really feel these guys were interested from the word go?
    If so I find it very strange they pulled out.....one has to think it was never their intention.
    Not blaming you or the guys for one moment as hindsight is a fine thing....but it now seems(as unpalatable as it may seem) quite a possibility.
    If you are now begining(like a good few of us), to lean in that direction of thinking then why did they do it....what game were they playing and what could be gained from such a ploy?

    Mr C

    As you are the newest member did you know its your duty to get the first round in at the Lifers Xmas do ;-)
  • They will not be investing in a club in the foreseable future and yes I do think they mean't it at the beginning

    Got to go now as have a game to go to

    It was a good effort Derek - and it was fun for us whilst it lasted.

    A lot of us were sure it wasn't going to happen and it's a case of nothing lost nothing gained.

    I'm sure you'll do right by our Club.

    The chairman on the forum.

    That, my friends, is what makes our club the weird, wonderful, unique institution we all know and love. The rest don't know what they are missing...

    Long live CAFC!

  • Derek I don't know if my comment on the thread titled "2 hours on" had anything to do with you signing up but I would say that I feel the unique relationship between the board and the fans has dwindled over the past 5 seasons,if you can come on and answer questions every now and again it can certainly help re-build them bridges.
