Valley Gold withdraws funding 

The Valley Gold committee have announced they will “not consider any further major donations to the football club until later on in the year.” 

The Charlton Club which oversees Valley Gold lottery called a full Management Committee meeting yesterday to address their members’ concerns that their funds were not going to be used for the desired purpose that Valley Gold was intended for. Despite plea’s from the club, the supporters representatives felt that they could not ignore the growing complaints from it’s members and have taken immediate action.

That action is to stop providing donations to the club and it’s owners.

What is the point of Valley Gold?

Despite it being no surprise to any Addick, confirmation of Joe Gomez’s transfer to Liverpool today has left me with an air of despondency. This has not been helped by the apparent readiness with which Ben Roberts is talking to Brighton about moving there as their goalkeeping coach, after Katrien Meire gave the parties permission.

Despite the fee being typically undisclosed by Charlton (Liverpool historically have been happy to announce fees) all of the media outlets are stating that Gomez signed for £3.5m on a 5-year deal. Meanwhile those in the club have attempted to squash that and say it is higher. Whatever it is, Charlton fans will want to see all of the sale money redistributed back into the squad and not Roland Duchatelet’s network.
