The Prince and the paupers
Today, Charlton Athletic will receive a visit from the heir apparent, Prince William, at their training ground in New Eltham. This is great publicity for Charlton, and it is wonderful that so many high ranking officials are coming to our great club to see how much a well run football club can contribute to the local community and society in general.One note of caution, it is rumoured that the Prince will join in with training, either with members of the youth team or even some of our first team squad. The last time Willie-Boy did that was during the British Lions rugby union tour of New Zealand, and they lost 3-0!
I therefore hope that the foul drizzly weather that has greeted us this morning prevents William pulling on his boots, and Charlton can be spared a 3-0 drubbing from Bolton tomorrow!

It's only a headline! Anyway, compared to Chelsea, Man Utd, or Arsenal we are paupers - I wish we weren't, and maybe one day we won't be. With Newcastle announcing a £9m loss today, and other clubs in financial uncertainty (West Ham, Villa, Massives, and Everton for instance), our monetary status amongst the Premiership is continuing to improve year on year, but we have a very long way to go to reach the big boys.
