All I'm trying to say, I think, is about being loyal. People who are swayed by free/cheap coach rides to go see a struggling Premiership club are probably not the kind of supporters we want anyway! I've followed the Blues since 79 and I know just how fickle our support is even though the die-hards will always remain and hats off to them (I know some of you are on here!!)
Even my support has come and gone over the years - partly due to my job and locality - but I always watch/listen when I can!

AB, anyone having a go at me has either mis-read my post or read some clap-trap I posted before then deleting it! Am not easily offended either way - cripes, I'm in the RAF for goodness sake - we get enough flak (sic!) as it is!!!

Pilot to navigator - all is well then - AB

If the club is to reach its potential.Which as the biggest town in East Kent,i would say is massive...People are going to have to be a bit less picky about who they do or dont want as fellow supporters.
I think Charlton are hoping to benefit from the fact that Kent is a massive area with a Population of one and a half million. And just one league club, Gillingham.
But Kent is full of Football fans. And its hardly suprising given that Thanet has such a large population and just 2 clubs playing at a lower level that they should target the area.

I am a loyal supporter, margate through and through. Go to all the games i can, work permitting. I also go to watch the odd premiership match when i can. I dont see anything wrong with this and it doesnt mean i'm any less loyal to Margate. Dont be too picky, you'll end up alienating people.

What I am having a go at is Charlton's dangling carrot of cheap travel to suck supporters away from other areas.

 

I go to Fulham games when I can but I rather follow Margate where I feel part of a club with the players and officials who I can freely mix with

there is a vast difference between the two and very few who go to charlton would be at gate matches if thet transport wasnt there all they have to do is buy sky prem plus matches there are nearly always 2 on a saturday
