It
seems that not everyone at the club is today involved in the transfer scramble,
and that person does seem to have a sense of humour. Along with others, I’ve
just received an email entitled ‘Charlton Athletic Pitch Hire – Swap the Park
for the Pitch’. It includes prices for selected dates/times in April and May.
Is there any need to expand/spell out the obvious?
We
wait to see what the world looks like when the window closes tonight and to
assess all the ins and outs on a net basis. But there’s nothing wrong with comments
in the interim, just on the grounds of whether a move makes us stronger or
weaker. Disposing of Alnwick? Obviously from a financial perspective, having shifted
Thuram-Ulien’s wages from Standard Liege to us, it makes sense. Presumably if
Hamer had been fit and an offer came in, he might have left instead. From a
footballing perspective (ie does it make us stronger or weaker) of course only
time will tell. But exchanging a guy who Sir Chris brought in in September and
who has performed admirably since getting his chance, for a keeper who – while of
course I hope he goes on to be a star for us – has to be short of
match-practise and is unused to the environment, is at best an unwanted gamble
given our predicament.

Ideal for mud wrestling or a ploughing match.
Daft decision my my opinion. However, Ben might just have secured his Championship position for next season. Thuyram will need to be at his inspiring best to help us avoid swapping places with the O's.
Hilarious.........the Valley pitch wouldn't even make a decent allotment!!
I received a letter from the club inviting me to celebrate my birthday by hiring an executive box for the home game on the 22nd.... only £1,000 for 10 people. Given the team's recent form and current turmoil, I've decided that the probability of a celebration is low and I'm not tking up the offer. I've yet to decide whether to use my season ticket for the match.
