Red carded
I was incommunicado with my friend in New York earlier and he mentioned something that reminded me that I'm still waiting for my poxy red card.
It is around 12 months now since I applied for this piece of gold, sorry red, and at which time I was told that the "membership forms are being printed." Blimey, I wouldn't like to be the Xerox man down at The Valley as fixing those bloody copiers must be a hell of a job!
Then Mr Rick Everitt, a man I normally believe when he has something to say, left me a note in October 2006 saying the following:
"Is the club listening? Yes. With Ian (Cartwright)'s departure, Wendy Perfect and I requested that responsibility for the ISC pass to us in our Target 40,000 capacity, because we think we are best placed to support and develop it. It will take us a few weeks to get to grips with what has been promised and delivered to date. In the meantime, rest assured that the ISC is not being neglected - far from it."
Yes, I didn't know what he meant either, but you know us Charlton fans, a sucker for a good story, eh? Oh and what did happen to the International Supporters Club? They get Ken and others all juiced up and then the silent treatment.
Oh well, as long as they get us all to buy season tickets and another kit, then everything is hunky-dory but if someone out there can convince me otherwise then I'm willing to listen, as long as I don't have to part with any money again! ¶ 18:11
