    Meeting for liberal club members tomorrow to discuss situation.

    We've migrated to the Radical Club which is fine for Saturday games and as it's my club happy to spend money there instead. Half the club left to jump on the 14.31.

    Where is that Ben.
    Thanks mate
    Wouldn’t trust my match day experience to South Eastern Railways or whatever they are called these days.

    Park or travel by train to Westcombe park station, drink in the River Ale House, walk (15 minutes) catch the bus (god knows on match day) or train one stop Westcombe park to Charlton.

    Easy for me to say as I live right close to Westcombe park station :smiley:

    If the 14:31 is cancelled or late chances are you’d miss kickoff ?

    Friend went to the meeting today... 70k in debt. And those there voted it to close. Place will be sold and members given a dividend... This was the message i received.

    Would be interesting to know how they got £70k in debt having sold the other building but I guess that if it's losing money then better to cut their losses now and give the members a dividend. (Are you reading this Duchatelet?)

    That's correct, they've had a cash offer and if accepted it will remain a club with restaurant/bar

    Assume restaurant upstairs... Seating would be limited.

    Did members get any dividend when they sold the original club.

    So, some hope that it will still function on match days as a venue for us Addicks.

    They've accepted a bid, and its's now being dealt with by solicitors.

    The Radical, my club, getting busier and busier on match days now which is good news for the club and fans £2.85 for a pint of London Pride!

    When will the lower Charlton area get it’s first Micro pub I wonder?
    Wouldn’t be surprised if someone hasn’t already given it some serious thought.

    Leuth maybe from a privileged white metropolitan background but he understands the working class better than anyone as he lives near a council estate. He'd fit in easily at a working mens club.

    Yes I am sure Leuth would be at home in a working mens club, it's such a shame that so many have closed
