Thankyou everyone for all those lost hours vainly scouring this thread to find out the latest takeover news only to have to shift through petty squabbles, irrelevant sidetracking, fallings out, group love ins, cliques, counter cliques, fish jokes and much much more.
We got there in the end. Adios, Adieu, bon voyage and may your God(s) go with you...3 -

The love for this club being relit after meeting such passionate fans in and on route to Belgium, I genuinely believed I was done up to that point and being dragged to Eltham nick at the request of Charlton Athletic or at least someone within their employment being the lowest point.
Being told to sign a piece of paper or potentially lose something my wife and I had worked so hard to gain and I had to fight back the tears knowing it was at risk and I was meeting NLA and GH for a pint afterwards. 😉
Being picked up again by others within the club and it’s fans on the cycle ride to Amsterdam and various charity events we’d attended.Finally stepping inside The Valley after the takeover was announced. While I won’t and can’t be a season ticket holder again, I will attend when finances permit and I won’t miss any of the games on tv.
Seeing my journey with the Charlton family mapped out in front of me on the two page article written in the match day programme, the invitation to write it and I’d finally had the mental strength to say it although most was omitted as not suitable (by myself) and actually could have filled the entire issue on its own, my journey as a 6 year old with a troubled childhood finding a comfort blanket in our football club.Now when I’m at The Valley be it inside or out, it’s home and it’s home with my family.
Your football club, my football club, our football club.44 -

Imagine the productivity this thread has killed since it was created! When recession hits the idiots will blame Brexit, us CLers will know the truth!0

Glad that article meant so much, I know how hard it was for you to put it down in writing.
A good reminder of how much this club means to so many and just how much damage was done by the regime, thankfully not terminal damage but still a lot to do.3 -
Who was linked to us during the thread?
It started with those from down under, then we had the bloke from Arsenal, the bloke from Forest, Alex McLeish, Mark Curry from Blue Peter and then out of no where ESI... it’s been a journey...0 -

Not sure if I’ve ever posted in this thread. So to be part of history I thought I would make a comment.Bye11

I think this is out of order!...We should make AFKABartram walk the Plankton for that post,AFKABartram said:It’s the elephant in the room (not a camel).
Everyone is staring at their shoes, not wanting to be the bold one to face it, but sometimes you just need to take a deep breath, shoulders back and face the truth...
We need to say goodbye to the Takeover Thread.
It feels like one of the family, an almost perminent piece of furniture in our Charlton Life lives. We’ve shared laughs, tears, tingles and a lot of fish.
Monday at 10pm we will close the thread for the final time. Not temporary because of something libellous or two middle age wallies are threatening a pillow fight, but for good. Ah Revior, Auf Weidesen, Goodbye.
Lets make the last two days of the takeover thread a happy period of mirth and celebration. A nostalgic look back to the good times, the highlights, the fish puns.
What’s been your highlights?1 -
Shame we won't make 8m views before the thread shuffles off its mortal coil.
