    Thing is, if we were winning games although this would still be a stupid gimmick, we would more likely all turn a blind eye. Fact we're not winning games and getting sucked into a relegation battle makes it look pathetic. 
     And that's the point.
    The club as a whole should  be pulling in the same direction and putting all of their efforts in getting the standard on the pitch up to scratch and nothing else. Until that happens all this commercial stuff is pointless.
    But as you can see with this sorry effort, ego Methven is cracking on with his own endeavours just so he can say he's done his bit when the yanks start pointing fingers.
    Until the dynamics of this football club change, it will never succeed.
    The club can't stop commercial activity because the team isn't good. That would be madness. Stopping effort in commercial wouldn't improve the team performance...

    What is wrong is some of the commercial guff like this, which is amateurish and which is unlikely to add a net single penny to revenue (and if it does it will be so negligible that it will put at question the time and effort in organising). 

    The counter argument may be that any type of activity that "enhances" the match day experience is of long term value. Sadly this doesn't enhance anything. Know your audience...

    Someone is being paid good money to come up with this crap.

    They can't even get the time right in the graphic. It's a 12:30 kickoff

    Glad to see the Charlton life proof reading service is still being used by the club.
    K/O now corrected.
    Let’s see if questioning what ‘darts-related activates’ are or whether it should be ‘activities’ is taken on board.

  • Also, dartboard is one word.

    Beat me to it, what was 'activates' meant to mean?

    Inflatable dartboards and magnetic dartboards. Glad we've done a £20 Amazon order to help get this event on. Fortress Valley!!!!!!!

    Does anybody know the name of the specific individual at Charlton Athletic who decided that there could be a half hearted clap for Kevin Nolan just before the half time crossbar challenge?
    Would such a decision come under the umbrella of ‘communications’?
    Unlikely. But I know not everyone on the staff was keen to join in so was happy with it and made the mistake of saying that out loud.

    I'm still struggling to get past the first line, "Two things go hand in hand during this festive period". What two things are they then?  Holly and Ivy? Mistletoe & Wine? Santa and Reindeer? Morcambe and Wise? Turkey and Cranberry? Rate and Plate? Epic Boozing and Monumental Hangovers? No, none of those things. Of course, Football and Darts - the perfect accompaniment to each other. Obviously, no-one goes to football without bringing their arrows, and nobody plays darts without feeling the need to nod a few headers into the old onion bag. I've never read such nonsense.

    How I miss Voice of the Valley. Sounds like that would have made an amusing entry to Airman Brown's Diary.

    Sky Sports have been trying to push this silly narrative the last couple of weeks. Assume that’s where we got it from.

    Overall this campaign seems fairly harmless to me. The club got slagged off for trying to market our matches as something exciting to do, now they’re getting slagged off for trying to tie into something that’s pretty popular at the moment (the darts, not Charlton!).

    I can see the sense in Sky pushing it, no matter how silly it may be. They've got the rights to screen both sports, so they'll want to maximise their viewing figures by encouraging football fans to watch the darts and darts fans to watch the football. I just don't get it for Charlton though. If anyone is sufficiently inspired by the darts to have a game there is a ready-made, enjoyable solution: Pop down to your local and have a game and a few pints with your mates. Not, undertake the penultimate humiliation by wearing fancy dress in a windy car park with an inflatable darts set before embarking on the ultimate humiliation, watching the biggest underachievers in South London hammer out another bore draw.

    A bit over the top there, expecting a draw! 😉

    Preston were outside the top 15 until they drew Charlton at home in the cup. Straight in at top spot after that misfortune.

    Kind of funny there was one summer when we signed several Swindon players, the club who are 2nd.

    QPR are 4th and paid £1.5-2m for Bonne, makes sense too.

    Bonne has played turned out for four of those clubs, that probably makes him statistically the most depressing player for a club to sign .

    There are lies, damn lies, and statistics (which are true)

    Dartford v Cray Wanderers is my Christmas game. Fuck paying £30 for the Charlton borefest.
    I could in no way willingly choose to do that.
    Either you’re a true loyal 100% Addick (in good times or bad), or you aren’t.
    I could say more.🤐
    Have a lovely day at Dartford.🫤

    Did anyone follow the "encouragement" of the club and wear fancy dress (no masks)? Did anyone engage with a giant inflatable dartboard? I saw an old bloke wearing a sovereign, which could have been a nod to Bobby George.

    Has the club shared the best images across its social media channels yet?

    I was actually thinking about this on the way home from the match - saw absolutely nothing darts related all day!

    It's made up bollocks. What data and thresholds are set to decide which clubs are the most depressing? It's 100% subjective. My guess is, it's based on teams who have spent the longest in their respective divisions.

    My top 15 would be completely different. Colchester, Oldham, Stevenage, Burnley.and Wimbledon off the top of my head.

    Shades of Katrien. Sea of red, anyone?
