That's All Folks

Three of the words uttered by the Northampton Town tannoy man, as a rain lashed Sixfields succumbed to the elements, some 45 minutes before Charlton effectively did the same with their Championship status. We will be seeing one of the two teams I saw on show last night, and that team will be Northampton Town. I have believed we would be relegated for some weeks now, and yes I know that teams do go on runs, but this is Charlton.

Many fans have talked about not renewing their season tickets next year, and certainly the casual walk up is not going to have any difficulty getting in, but I for one will be renewing both my season tickets. The club needs the fans once more for purely financial reasons, and even in these recessionary times, the club is going to need my money more than I do.

Preparation?

The result of the Swansea game was one that I predicted, but sadly, just as our form shows signs of taking a turn for the better, those around us are turning their own fortunes around to more spectacular effect. Unfortunately, I cannot make home games in midweek, as I work in Northampton, so in preparation for next season, I shall be paying a visit to Sixfields tonight to see the local derby between the MK Dons, and Northampton Town.

After all, the likelihood is that we will either be playing the MK Dons in the Championship, or Northampton Town in League 1. There you go, glass half empty, or glass half full, all in one sentence
