Jumping ship

Well I'm jumping ship. Not giving up on the club, fraid I can't ever do that despite the torment at the moment, but the wife wants to return to Aus and so we're off. Still working out the finer details but it looks as if we'll be gone by the end of the year and so this will be my last season with the mighty Addicks. Going to try and get in as many games as I can before we leave and will have to support from afare. Hopefully CAFC TV works down under!!!

Anyone know of a supporters group in Perth by the way or Addicks supporters groups in Aus in general?!?!?

Have also been doing research on the local team in Perth as will still need to get my fix and have found out that Perth does have a team in the A-League and they're called Perth Glory!

Skippy soccer

I know everyone will now be saying WTF but apart from Charlton I've always tried to follow the local team as well!!!!! So am going to adopt them as my second team, go to the games etc etc. Seem to have quite a good following and a supporters group (http://www.gloryboys.net and http://www.gloryshed.com.au) but somehow I reckon it won't compare to Charlton Life. :-( Hey-ho. Maybe Charlton could do a pre-season there!!!!!!!!!

Have also found out that Andy Todd plays for the Glory. So at least that's one familar face even though he did have that bust up with Deano! ;-)

    Well, my brother lives in Melbourne.

    Then again he's a gooner, so not much help there.

    Sounds good. Will sign-up and give them a shout a little nearer the time. Aiming to be out there by November / December '09. Good to know that I'll be near some fellow Addicks. From the looks of it there's at least one other in Perth in the form of CAFCinPerth. Good news! :-)

    Did Andy Todd play?!?!?! If so did he kick off with his own players? ;-)

    What's the support like at the stadium? From looking at the supporters sites it says they're one of the more vocal set of fans. True or is it it a load of bull?

    At least no more cold, damp miserbable winters, or cold damp miserable summers either.

    Ta. Should be fine. Mrs Sideways is an Aussie so I've kinda been inducted already and have been out there so many times now it almost feels like a home from home. The thing I'm going to miss most is the footie and all the bits that come with it. (Banter, mates, pubs). Ho-hum, at least I'll have CL to get my fix as well as Addicks Down Under! :-)
