100% Dodged a bullet there.Chef_addick said:So the Aussies are definitely out now? 😉Agree entirely. For me, that 'deal' had the wrong feel about it from the moment I read their website begging for investors.I'll keep my powder largely dry on this new deal - for one it's not completely over the line yet, although it seems unlikely to collapse now (this is Charlton we're talking about though!) -because the proof of the pudding is always in the eating but if you were asking me for a shopping list for our new owners, this would check off a lot of items.Serious financial clout behind it - check.Representation on the board, with background in English football - check.Apparent respect for the traditions of the club - check.Don't want to dismantle the current coaching team - check.Will they spend as big as they appear able to? I don't know, but they surely can't be as tightfisted as Roland though - can they? Encouragingly, the money doesn't come from some anonymous backer who could walk away at any moment like Cash did, its a majority shareholder who now has an investment to protect.Ideally it would have been someone with Charlton links involved, but one of the things RD & KM got most wrong when they took over was they were tone deaf to the expectations and wants of the fans. Having English representation on the board should help with that, although ultimately attitude is far more important than nationality.For now, the East Street name is just a gesture, but the fact they took the time to research that part of our history is surely a good sign. Just by that action alone, they've shown more interest in that side of things than Roland did all his years as owner.

Not wishing to rain on anyone's parade, but until the sale is finalised, surely all income from tickets etc goes to Roland?Stig said:Just got a ticketing email from the club, surely no co-incidence
Perhaps worth waiting a week to get that half-season ticket you promised yourself?2 -
Just bought my ticket for tomorrow, first time back in 3 years.7

Can’t wait to get down the Valley tomorrow!!JamesSeed said:By the way, anyone who entered the Roland Departure Prediction competition....

Over the moon, I thought I was dreaming when I read it this morning. The Valley is sure to be bouncing tomorrow.0

They have handed those back so they can be given out with the 1000 CARD have bought to celebrate the end of Duchatelet.grumpyaddick said:What happened to Muir and the Ozzies ? He bought a scarf and everything.0 -
PA - they were probably considering him for the bench tomorrow.PemburyAddick said:My Valley Gold number was pulled out of the hat to do Crossbar Challenge tomorrow. I nominated my 18 year old son to do it, and we went to Sparrows Lane at lunchtime to get some tips from the under 18s. When we arrived Lee and Keith Peacock started chatting to my son and Lee offered to provide him some training - I think its a first for Crossbar Challengers. He spent about half an hour patiently coaching him, which when you think about the hectic schedule he has, and the weighty news announcement this morning, that is quite special. Lee couldn't be more relaxed, As you probably know, we have one very special gaffer there.
Steve Avery also spent a lot of time chatting to him and encouraging.
What a day, what a club1 -
Fantastic day!
Has Airman said anything yet?0 -
they have agreed a price so I doubt the odd half season ticket here and there will make a differenceN01R4M said:

Hopefully sometime very soonsarge1g said:At last........going to be some party @ The Valley tomorrow. Lets all hope that these guys have not only money (sack and sacks of it by the sound of things) but also interest in and ambition for the club unlike the old fart who can now be forgotten (although I will hopefully still be able to attend his funeral and dance on his grave). Roland's Out !!0 -
I have proudly not posted ONE comment on any takeover thread prior to today as the constant let downs, false dawns , bullshit etc wound me up. Today I can post and be free !!!!! Can't wait to get back to the Valley for every home match with my Son. Been through a lot with this club but never boycotted before, even had a season ticket at sell***** and W. Ham.7

When all the Johnny come latelys look back at this thread in 10 years time after our successful Champions league campaign I would like to point out that I went to Burnley and Blackpool night games away in 1981. I am not a glory boy and have earnt my little bit of Utopia.
In all seriousness, I had this bizarre thought about 18 months ago that for enduring the punishment inflicted on us by Roland surely we would get a rich reward in time. Hopefully this happens, although a bit surprised by many long standing fans getting too carried away with future predictions. This is Charlton after all.6 -

I'd take that, we can still go and party and Gareth Bale can get a hat-trick in the re-arranged game!Todds_right_hook said:

So I run my hands over a bit of British Rail seating material now and again. So what? I'm not hurting anyone and it's over 18 years old so it's perfectly legal.PopIcon said:12
