More evidence of investment by the club’s owners in that today they have announced the installation of a new Valley pitch this summer.
“Work begins on the pitch in May to ensure everything is in place for the men’s first-team’s final pre-season friendly on Saturday, August 3rd.” (more)

It’s another fantastic effort by Addicks for a dead rubber that closes down a season which will end with our worst league placing since 1926.

Haringey Borough were beaten last year and this year the opponents will be Hendon, who play in the Southern League Premier South.
Please click for moreThe conversation on whether George Dobson will stay or leave in the summer has got louder and louder these past few weeks. There are over 3,300 comments on the Charlton Life Forum, and Nathan Jones spent the bulk of his post game chat throwing the club’s decision makers under the bus whilst singing George’s praises.
The people that matter – those that were witness to the deal in the first place including Fehérvár, George’s agent, Andy Scott and George himself have been pretty silent on the matter.
Please click for moreDraw no. 20. Very disappointing to finish off without a win, but at least The Valley had George Dobson to serenade on his final Valley appearance.
Please click for moreA interesting decision to trigger Lucas Ness’ contract for a final year. The 22-year old has had exactly 33 minutes of football under Nathan Jones and has appeared way down the pecking order behind Gillesphey, Hector, Thomas and Edmonds-Green.
I am always happy to see our academy players given an extra chance to prove themselves, and this is certainly that.

We’ll miss those points we usually take off our long time peers, but Pompey are a proper club, so congratulations to them and their supporters.
Please click for moreAnother draw and more defensive ineptitudes in a game that summed up our season.
We should have scored more and despite a lot of balls into our box Isted was properly called into action once and failed to deal with a simple shot.
Please click for moreAs expected Sky TV and the EFL have shaken hands on a record domestic rights deal to show over 1,000 live games per season, thus closing down Sky Sports’ EFL red button coverage and the EFL’s domestic streaming option whether that was via iFollow or like in Charlton’s case their own streaming service.
Please click for moreA polar opposite game from Saturday as two mid table slides slogged it out in a quieter atmosphere.
The Addicks had enough chances to win the game but had to settle for their 18th draw of the season, the most in all of the EFL.
Please click for moreAmerica has been in total eclipse meltdown today, although not literally hopefully.
Mind you I was standing on Wall Street in New York earlier and was about the only person on the street without those eclipse glasses. The sun was bright and I am not sure my ray-bans cut it.
Please click for moreBarnsley have been good since they came down and they play very expansive, which allowed us to really exploit spaces on the pitch.
It was a very entertaining game and a really good Addicks’ performance which gave us the 3 points in front of a pumped up Valley.
Please click for moreThe conspiracy theorists, and I live in America and have got to meet a fair few, would say that Lloyd Jones’ apparent kidnapping after having an injection almost a month ago might be more to do with his new boss finding out about this.
Please click for moreAnother game of scarce quality, and this against a team attempting to get promoted.
A clean sheet has a been a forgotten prize, and I’ll take it, but the football on show, the passing, the basics was awful.
Please click for moreI was lucky enough to see Hamilton on Broadway 6 years ago, and today I went again with the family to see the touring production at the Van Wezel Theater in Sarasota, and it did not disappoint.
I was told before my first viewing that it was a show you’d have to see a number of times as with each visit you make new discoveries. In fact I have a mate who has watched it a couple of dozen times, and he might only just be able to tell the complete Alexander Hamilton story.
