I have just joined this forum.
I heard a disturbing rumour (Hope I am wrong).
"Charlton are in dire financial trouble. All the money accumulated from this years season tickets has gone to pay the wages. They could be in administration by Christmas."
It was from a reliable source. Can somebody please clarify this point.

    As I stated. I hope I am wrong. It was something I heard from a reliable source. I just wanted to share what I heard. If what I heard is rubbish then I will be delighted.No I do not work for the Daily Mail., but have supported Charlton since 1958. I remember past crisis' and do not want to go there again.

    What? I thought everything was ok ? Perhaps I should of been a tad more annoyed that we fucked up getting out of the 3rd Division this season ?

    Dave assuming you are legit, we are deep in the brown stuff, we cannot afford to stage a home friendly against spurs, we need about 10,000 season tickets to pay for the Valley, we owe around £35 million, although a lot of that is to our directors.

    Our dire financial position is no secret. the only good news is that we are expected to pick up more for Bailey than we had expected.

    I thought this was gonna be a thread about dodgy loan sharks.

    Maybe we can amend the boring C A F C chant and copy Man City's song next season.

    OK. I did not realise this website was so hostile. It was just something I heard. I was disturbed about it and wanted to share it with other supporters. I wanted to hear that it was not true. However I do not need this sort of abuse. goodbye.

    sorry but a) I'd hardly call it abuse and b) it's been the major topic of conversation for about two years so hardly a revelation.

    the bit of hostility was only a test. Be thick-skinned and stay with us Dave, we need ya.
  • TBF I have no idea of whether Dave was a wind up or not (I suspect he was but don't really get his ponit that being the case). If he wasn't then the treatment he's got on here has cuased a fellow supporter to leave the site within 1 hour, which must be A) some sort of record and B) a pretty bloody poor show by those that have made him feel that he didn't want to be member on here any more.

    Blimey folks I know that we've all be through the wringer recently but was there any need to be quite so hostile to someone you didn't know from Adam?

    *NB if you're ready this Dave and you are a wind up merchant let this be a lesson not to mess with the CL posse ;-)

    I'm bloody off as well. Been posting on here for over a year, not one hello new member, not one response to carefully thought out points, not one criticism...... Some bloke does his first post an hour ago and already he is past 27 replies and is on first name terms with a number of cliques.

    Don't leave Cordoban - I feel the same - let's start our own clique. Dave, if you are still here,you're welcome to join us!

    Saga would normally love to start a clique, but I am a bit concerned about joining anything that would have me as a member. I mean you must be desperate.

    Perhaps rather than forming a clique, we should set up some sort of steering committee?
