Just caught up with this thread - can someone summarise what I should be embarrassed about. If you’re not cringing at something your club is or isn’t doing are really you a true fan?2

The Wrexham/Goldbridge thing is a dose of reality we would rather not have to swallow.

Can only imagine that a sponsor has pulled out, or they didn't get one in the first place based on the premium they think Wrexham and Goldbridge can warrant (and maybe it can't...).

For those who haven't been around long enough to remember all the marketing plans that Charlton have come up with in the past - successful and otherwise - here's some reminders...
In October 1969, an elephant was invited to play in goal against Portsmouth.
In October 1985, striker Mike Flanagan and unemployed turnstile operator Robert "Rob" Lee set to work on an extensive poster campaign, to advertise the club's first home game at a shithole in Croydon. (Note that, in those days, players had a free choice of which shirts to wear).
In the 1970s, BASE-jumping started to become popular. So, Charlton's floodlights were used for pre-match freefall demonstrations. No-one ever fell off the floodlights more than once.
In 1954, Eddie Firmani and team-mates entertained a sparse Valley crowd with an attempt at the Guinness World Record for Levitating.
In 2013, Charlton hosted their short-lived Nominative Determination Day at the Valley, where players whose surname was a description of the team they played for were paraded before the match. Pictured (above) is the winner, Danny.

Or we could build a good team that sticks the ball in the back of the net.5

Exeter are now a point behind the Man United of North Wales, I'm expecting a big advertising sale on the forthcoming away game in Devon.1

Master stroke of that's the case. What's the point of him being there 😂1

I have heard of this guy, but I don't know much about his content other than the clips of him freaking out when Man United lose. Is he essentially doing a solo Soccer Saturday from the Charlton TV studio? If so, what is the point? I think it will bring a lot of attention to us, but potentially not the right kind of attention. This could backfire on us and make us look like a laughing stock.0

I suppose you have to try lots of risky things to stay relevant as a League One football club in a world of Man City's, Arsenal's etc. If it does make us a laughing stock I hope they move on to another tactic very quickly.0

Who is he? What does he offer and why all the fuss. ? Until this announcement I'd never heard of him. Probably an age thing0

Goldbridge is the bloke from Wolverpool.
Half dog, half pond.2 -

Almost as bad as his insta story where he refers to us as a big game and then more or less says only joking, the focus will be Liverpool vs Arsenal.
Nice one marketing team 👍🏻2 -
The bloke has always struck me as a Jonathon Ackworth with a social media profile. I'm not the target audience and I guess I can kind of see what the club are trying to achieve with it, but I think people watch him to laugh at him more than with him and just because he has lots of followers doesn't mean being associated with him is a positive thing. I think it cheapens us, rather, but I am getting old and miserable so what do I know.0

If I'm generous, I would say Charlton's marketing team knew all along that he was only going to have the match in the background and would be doing his stuff on other matches, but still decided to advertise it as a watch-along of the match to generate interest.Braziliance said:https://x.com/BigBadBraz/status/1849856537122198012?t=jo75zZ6Ulvj6l57fLi5klg&s=19

But this is probably too generous.
Very disrespectful considering Charlton is his League One club ... allegedly.0 -
Just asked my 10 year old son if he has heard of him... he said yeh, he's a bit of a div...3

Might have to watch the tour back another time, some of his comments are quite funny to be fair ("Saw someone coming out of the cupboard earlier, thought Harry Potter had let himself go")Callumcafc said:0 -
