A recent football crossword had the clue 'embarrassment' and the answer was 'Tottenham'. No doubt some Charlton fans would suggest that our club might be the answer.
Having enjoyed last night's England win, I have some non-league excitement to look forward to. Tomorrow Leamington's manager celebrates 15 years in charge at a FA trophy game. Next Tuesday sees the first home match live on television (v. Chester). Then next Saturday it is Scunthorpe United at home.
At the moment, even though the standard is lower, I am enjoying non-league football more. There is less moaning and a lot more jovial banter. And it is possible for the individual fan to make a difference. The chairman rang up and asked if I could pay for new drainage on the training pitch and I was happy to send him the readies. The same four figure sum would have been a drop in the ocean at Charlton/
But then if you are a born and bred Charlton fan, you expect to suffer.
