Fair play to her and proves my point I guess. Brilliant diehard fan but doesn’t contribute to the atmosphere. Not a criticism and I’d rather be sat next to her than some young charver lad off his head on coke.

Couldn’t agree more.

We only ever spoke to her to help her up and down the steps but then one home game we noticed she wasn’t there and she hasn’t been back since. We hope nothing bad happened.

Didn't take long for the fannies on here to start turning against the owners. I knew this good will and apparent mature approach wouldn't last
At least the floaters can use it as an excuse to not go to games next year and we'll be back to the base of 25-26,000 real fans who support their team

No one is turning on Donald but Charlie’s comments there were out of order.
 
Personally, I agree with charlie. There is still a premier league mentality amongst some fans and its been shown on the board at times during the season, for one example in January fans demanding we went out and spent 10 million. He’s right when he says we need to stop thinking we shouldn't be in this league. I dont think for one second hes calling charlton a bigger club he’s just pointing out if our fans think we deserve to go up because of the size of the club look at charlton. They took more than most in that league would ever have done and on the day and over the season they deserved to go up. And hes right about the noise it was shocking, the same at the checkatrade final and the same at most home games all season. It was a few home truths that fans needed to hear and he admits everyone including the management need to do better

Funny as fuck on here, willing to give shit out all day long but if anyone has a negative thing to say about them it's fighting time. Precious doesn't even touch it, it's predictable but funny to read none the less. Mad as fuck.

As of 31 July last year, no. To date, who knows?

You should do a post about the implications of not going up next season, potential liquidation etc. Waken up those happy to sleepwalk into next season who think we will ‘piss the league’ with a manager who has clearly lost the plot.

Basically says you can’t say that Sunderland deserve to go up because we are a bigger club than Charlton because on the evidence of Wembley attendance we aren’t as we sold 34k and they sold 40k. Adds to that our fans were quiet in comparison to there’s. Then the rest is just saying we all need to dust ourselves down, it’s been a failure but need to crack on rather than sulk.

Nobody deserves to go up because they're a bigger club. To be fair I haven't heard anyone say that though.

Charlton have 8000 S/T holders and average crown of 11,000. They had a 330% rise in average attendance for Wembley. We had a 10% increase in average attendance at Wembley. Perhaps we should just do that and turn out when on a big day out eh Charlie boy?

i think your rigt-i think the problem is-and its not the fans problem and this is what the owners dnt understand-a large crowd will always have some poeple who boo or whinge-and safc always will-the remedy for this is to have players and managers that-as best you can know-are strong enough or experienced enough-to deal with a large crowd...that we dont have players like that is the owners fault though...they are very niave people...as i hvae repeatedly said...and this is just one example of it.

Really? Centre backs came in for abuse, Wyke was getting shit loads of stick for much of the season including being laughed at by his own fans. Honeyman gets stick all the time, gooch has had people getting on his back.

Do whatever you want after the game but ffs when every misplaced pass it met with a massive groan and people shouting shit at the players then as fans we are creating tension and stopping players from taking chances for fear of making mistakes......Every man and his dog, every sports psychologist etc will tell you its true but our lot just cant help themselves.

I guess you weren't at the last 12-15 matches when our fans constantly sang Charlie Wyke songs to get behind him despite him missing some sitters

well the accounts show £40m was spent that wasnt the clubs money-the para money was-according to the accounts that are publically available today-used to pay debt-not buy shares..
..i supect charlie got what is known as "swaet equity" which means they get a small stake in exchange for working for free and put little cash in..

The accounts show nothing of the kind. They show a cost of investment in Madrox's books of £37m. They also show a cash injection from Donald of £5m, a loan from SAFC to Madrox of £9.6m, and a residual other creditor in Madrox of £22m. What may or may not have happened to £25m of the parachute payment is buried in intercompany movements before the year end that are invisible in the published data.
 
What the owners don’t appreciate is the years of pride swallowing disappointment and underachievement the supporters have endured. Confidence is fragile bordering on non-existent. We don’t enjoy cup finals because we dread losing, rather than dream of winning. That reflects in the atmosphere.

It’s remarkable that our fans continue to turn up in their numbers given the shit they have had to put up with.

Charlie needs to be mindful, more appreciative and quite frankly, he needs to shut the fuck up.
