    I have known Betty for probably more than twenty years. She was always very cheerful, even till the end. I haven't been to away day on the coach for a number of years now. But if I was on Betty's coach I always found if we had lost she would be getting fan's spirits up again.

    Thanks for the memories Betty!

    RIP!

    About as ‘proper Charlton’ as they come. What a character.

    I did as many away games as I could around 2009-2012 period and was often on her coach. Incredible to think that she was providing that sort of dedication and was just the character on that away coach 20-30 years before even then. Can’t imagine it will ever be the same on those journeys without her.

    “Family, faith and football” - That’s what Charlton’s always been about. 

    RIP Betty

    Following Lyle's visit to Betty recently, we were made all too aware that this sad day was not far away.

    I have known Betty for over 20 years but our paths haven't crossed much in recent times, partly due to our opposing opinions on the current regime. Distressing, on reflection, that one man should affect the relationship of 2 passionate Addicks who both want the very best for their beloved club.

    Betty was a special lady who touched the lives of so many Charlton fans over the years & she will long be fondly remembered.

    Our thoughts are with her family, especially Theresa, as they struggle to come to terms with their loss.

    Sleep tight, dear Betty,  Charlton Legend.

    You’ll be hard pushed to hear anyone saying anything not positive about her.

    Might  be a bit early but would Bettys family like a donation made to the hospice or charity of their choice.
    I'm sure there's a few of us whod like to make a donation.

    Very sad to hear this news yesterday. Betty was a fundamental reason why I did so many aways by coach in the 90s and her coach (only ever wanted to go on her coach) was as much a family day out with all ages and backgrounds coming together. 

    she had the ability to take no shit and command respect yet be a great laugh at the same time. They’ll be very few cocky youth away dayers over the last 30 years who haven’t head down sheepishly said ‘sorry Bet’ like a naughty schoolboy for some misdemeanour. She always looked out for her youngsters like an away day Mum though, had a real caring side. She was always 100 times more than just a coach steward.

    Probably my most enjoyable period following the club and Bet played a big part of that. Lovely lady, great character and the jigsaw of core home and away Charlton fans have sadly lost an important piece.

    Thanks for all the good days and thoughts with Theresa and family.
