Hypothetical question of the day.

Given where we are in the table and how important this year is to us would you accept the season ending now, with us going up but having to wait until next August to start in Championship? Or would you rather take our chances over the course of the season?

Stupid question I know but the answer probably tells you a lot about how you view the game and our chances.

    Ha ha!

    Do I get a refund on my season ticket?  Usually I'd take promotion all day long but I get the feeling that we are going to see something special this year so I'll take my chances.

    My thoughts as well ... last 3-4 years I'd have said stop the season now ... but I'm looking forward to this one, so would take the chance

    Footie all day, its all about the balls, balls, balls, footie, footie, footie.

    You could ask this question every season and never ever get to watch a match.

    When the season ends with us missing out on promotion can we come back to this thread and blame all the people who wanted to see the season out?

    Without any shadow of a doubt now.

    Promotion & you get to do all those little jobs around the house you've been putting off, shopping at Bluewater, long walks in the countryside.............

    I forget to answer my own question.

    In an oohahhhh...stylie I reckon I'd go 90% see what happens, 9.9% take it now, 0.1% stick around for another year to make sure we are ready for the push back up the leagues ;-)

    You're right - stupid question!  But I hate this league - I'd take it now, celebrate and look forward to next August.

    Why not? You've coped without football for several seasons...

    i think we'd have to continue the season 
    based purely on the fact charlton life get so boring during the non season 
    and i spend half my life on here and its easier to read charlton football twaddle rather than read about politics or other grown up shit 
    although the need for promotion and getting out of this pub league is paramount i dont consider charlton to be where i get my football fix , it's where i get my charlton fix 
    charlton has rarely been the place for wonderful football , that can be seen on the telly when the proper football teams play .... with all their plastic fans who have the cheek to support a good side rather than a real team that is completely wank most of the time

    I would say play on, although it would be great to be playing championship football next season. The thrill of the ride can't be bought. You can't buy the excitement and the emotions that come with a season that has its ups and downs (hopefully not so many downs). You also can't buy the experience the players are getting playing together and the learning curve that Chris Powell is going through on the way to the Championship.

    I suppose it would give us the opportunity to arange a few friendlies:-

    Juventus
    Barcelona
    Arsenal
    Dulwich Hamlet
    Boca Juniors
     etc,.

    Yes that could be fun
