This is our year I’m convinced .....Swisdom said:Squad is very light but the kids are going to be as good or better than any other u23’s at other clubs disposal.

Nothing to do with the actual game,but I have a rather pathetic obsession with police numbers at football matches.On saturday, from the away end to the station I counted at least 20 officers inc.4 mounted,all doing nothing.There was a presence in the observation room during the game.the crowd was just over 2000,with no chance at all of any problems.So,when we hear daily of police not having time to investigate proper crimes,how do they all suddenly become available,for a few hours easy work,at the clubs expense.Every game last year there was a minimum of 30-40 officers at our games.1

In certain cases yes,it might kick off,but Charlton v Norwich,in a friendly,away attendance last year from some clubs,were 200-300 do we need 30 officers for this0

I was being ironic - police presence does seem overkill.thickandthin63 said:In certain cases yes,it might kick off,but Charlton v Norwich,in a friendly,away attendance last year from some clubs,were 200-300 do we need 30 officers for this

Keohane takes no chances, he will cut no corners in order to protect himself and his stash of cheese sandwiches, it is worth it to him to have a few bodies spare in case fans need taking in hand.thickandthin63 said:Nothing to do with the actual game,but I have a rather pathetic obsession with police numbers at football matches.On saturday, from the away end to the station I counted at least 20 officers inc.4 mounted,all doing nothing.There was a presence in the observation room during the game.the crowd was just over 2000,with no chance at all of any problems.So,when we hear daily of police not having time to investigate proper crimes,how do they all suddenly become available,for a few hours easy work,at the clubs expense.Every game last year there was a minimum of 30-40 officers at our games.

Is that why there were so many police in Makro’s car park?East_Stand_Loopy said:

Football clubs currently have no legal obligation to cover costs for policing outside the ground or to manage transport.

Interesting post.

So, Monday night and I'm still not sure if we really beat Norwich. It's not on the fixtures page of the OS!
Nor for that matter is the confirmation of the takeover which was going to be announced after the Norwich game.
Come on Charlton, surely you can update the website without having to turn the lights on!1 -
There is an exception for pre-season friendlies, from which the Met are able to recover their full costs. That’s why Charlton are very careful who they play at home in pre-season. However that doesn’t mean, for example, the club would pay for mounted police on Saturday as minor matches are often used to exercise and/or train the horses.Covered End said:Football clubs currently have no legal obligation to cover costs for policing outside the ground or to manage transport.

Apologies if it’s been mentioned, discussed and done to death already and I’ve completely missed it but the penny has just dropped with me that we had 6 players (Phillips, Aribo, Solly, Lapslie, Grant and Hackett-Fairchild) that came through the youth team on Saturday and for once I’d be happy to see any or all of them on the team sheet at Sunderland rather than thinking they were not quite ready. One of our own ?, the song could end up on a loop throughout a game this season...0

Always find it odd that Aribo is seen as an academy graduate but whenever Lookman is mentioned someone says he doesn’t count.7

Joe Aribo isnt an Academy Graduate!!... Bloke played 22-games for Staines Town before joining usScoham said:Always find it odd that Aribo is seen as an academy graduate but whenever Lookman is mentioned someone says he doesn’t count.
Signed for us and went straight into our U23 / Reserve squad - Academy Graduates surely have to play for the U18s at least1 -
Exactly my point. You could argue the u21s/u23s are part of the academy, but Aribo signed up on a pro contract.ForeverAddickted said:

I know which of the two I'd rather have here still too...Scoham said:
